Weird plumbing issues in the bathroom

Anonymous user 05/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

My bathroom has a number of problems which I'd like advice on before I work out how much of the kids inheritance I need to dip into. First one, and most annoying, the tap to the bath doesn't work for hot or cold water. It's a mixer waterfall tap installed into the corner which means I can't easily get to it but can get to the isolator valves just about. I've checked the valves are turned the right way but still nothing comes through. Second one is that there's no cold water coming through the sink mixer tap, hot water is working just fine. Again I've checked the isolation valves and even replaced the tap. Weirdly, the toilet works fine even though that is fed off the same cold water supply.....I think. Any ideas or do I need to call in those who can?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Do you have thermostatic mixer valves on these ? If you do then the filters could be blocked with either deposits from road repairs on water mains or scale depending on your water type. As your WC doesn't have a mixer and is possibly the first inline for the water it won't be affected..this is just a possibility not a definite as I've not seen the installation.. Good luck

I would need a bit more information really as it would depend on how the system is set up. Gravity systems are not good with mixer taps and shouldn't really be installed but I see it time and time. You could well have a problem with the hot and cold feeds not being balanced which I suspect is the problem. But as I said would need some more details to provide an accurate solution
