Loud Shuddering noise from hot tap and possibly heating

[Sam Odell]

Have you any better ideas?

Sorry, I'm just trying to narrow it down, have heard lots of other ideas and trying to pick the most likely

Do you have 1/4 turn taps? If one or more are failing, then this could be your noise. When you open the tap do any others start to run, drip, trickle?

I have a quarter turn kitchen tap that drips, but no noise cones from it, noise is only from bathroom bath hot tap.

The only way to find out for sure, is to get the tools out and try the suggested fixes.

What type of tap is bathroom? Also fix kitchen one and your bathroom one should no longer make noise - you'd be surprised

Bath tap is normal old fashioned turn it on turn it off. I'll give it a go. Thanks

Another clue : the cold tap in the bath has now started behaving strangely, you turn it on, not much comes out. I turn it off and on a few times and it kind of builds up to a normal flow. Very weird. Does this all point to washers etc?

Oh, and the bath tap is a mixer tap with two normal turning spindles. Thanks

Possibly, but check/replace them first as they are easy to do.

All Fixed - just replaced the taps, they were knackered - tried to take apart but screws etc were disinegrating! thanks all
