My shower only delivers boiling hot water, what is the most likely cause?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.52 PM

Is it possible a cold pipe is switched off somewhere? Sink mixer tap delivers both warm and cold. If I turn cold tap fully and hot off, I get cold, but I can never get a mix. Its either boiling hot or cold.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

A couple of things to look for :- Is the hot connected to the mixer on the left and the cold on the right? :- Are the supplies balanced in other words the same pressure either both mains (High Pressure) or both gravity fed (low pressure)?
