My parents had a new bathroom fitted this week and now have really poor water pressure.
The "plumber" replaced the bath and used the taps (mixer with shower head) from the old bath as they were quite new, replaced the taps on the sink with a mixer instead of seperates.
They have a hot water tank downstairs which is only 2 years old and has been working perfect so that's fine.
Now since the new taps the problems were -
hot water from sink is a trickle (was perfect with old seperat tap)
cold water from sink is fine
hot water in bath is ok ( not quite as powerful as before)
cold water is fine
shower attachment is poor (couldn't drown a mouse)
Today the plumber came back and fitted a pump next to the tank downstairs and seems to have connected it just to the bath hot water?
problems now are -
hot water from sink - still a trickle
cold water from sink - fine
hot water from bath is better but not powerful
cold water rom bath isfine
water from shower attachment is better
Why would changing the taps make the sink hot water pressure so poor?
I would have thought a pump fom the tank would up the pressure on all taps upstairs so did he do right by connecting it just to the bath or should he have fitted a splitter of some sort to the sink as well?
Just want to get this sorted for them as they're so upset with the new bathroom and regret having it done
