Hello
We have been experiencing some issues with hot water in our upstairs bathroom recently. We have always had a dodgy thermostat in the shower which I am replacing. The shower has only ever had one temperature - warm. However recently it has started taking a long time to warm up - sometimes 15-20 mins. The tap on the sink is similar. It sometimes used to take a while to heat up but recently it has got much, much worse. None of the downstairs taps seem to be so severe however sometimes they do take a while to heat up too.
We have a combi boiler and live in a victorian terrace house. We've recently had our boiler serviced and Hive installed if that could make any difference.
I might be imagining things but it does seems to be better when the heating is on.
One of my friends (a plumber) thought I had flow issues. I have a 15mm pipe coming into the property which we are upgrading to a 22mm and although I'm sure this will help, I can't understand why the shower used to work and now doesn't.
Could anyone suggest any troubleshooting I could do prior to calling our a plumber?
Thanks
