We had a leak under the bath for months so if we wanted to have a bath or shower we turned the water on at the combi boiler each time. Yesterday a plumber came to fix the leak, put in a new radiator in the same bathroom, fix a leaking tap, and plumb in a toilet.
This morning one of my sons had his usual shower. The other went straight into the bathroom and hardly any hot water coming from the shower but full water coming out of the basin tap.
The plumber, a very nice man, had popped round to return my key he had inadvertantly taken home with him so I told him re the shower. That was at 11:30. He left at 4:30 and doesn't know what is wrong with it.
He took the mixer tap off and the water came out of the cold pipe into the bath fine but trickled out of the hot. When you turn the basin on it stopped altogether. He took off the pipe that he had put on and something else (can't remember the name) and turned the bath back as to how it was when he arrived yesterday morning including the same piece of pipe that he had originally removed. The leak was back but the trickle was still there. He has tried all different sizes of washers but nothing worked although the leak has now gone.
He said to get a new mixer tap but when my husband came home we removed the mixer tap and the hot water was still a trickle into the bath.
Now we can not run a bath or have a shower. The plumber says he can do no more.
Any ideas anyone?? The pressure on the boiler is fine and hot water is coming out of the basin tap and the kitchen tap.
Thank you

. from what I read - you have removed the bath tap and actually watched the water rise up the pipe but only slowly ?. which part of kent - near to or far from sussex.
