Reduced flow in new bathroom basin tap

Yes, it effects both the hot and the cold flow. It also effected the bath tap when we had it fitted. Maybe it would be easier to pay to have the cold water tank raised in the loft. Do you think that raising the tank by about 3 feet would make much difference?

Reduced flow in new bathroom basin tap

I have checked the isolator valves and ensured that the flow is at maximum by turning them with the tap turned on until flow is at maximum. Unfortunately, I can't get the plumber back to check it as he has gone on holiday until the new year and I would like to fix it before Christmas. I checked the ...

Reduced flow in new bathroom basin tap

We have recently had a new bathroom fitted. We had a new mixer tap fitted which initialy had a reduced flow from the two seperate taps that we had before. This has now reduced even further and both the hot and cold have reduced to a trickle. I assume the original reduction in flow was caused by the ...

I installed a new wire under the floor to feed the element off a fused spur unit positioned outside the bathroom. I have now found though that the con...

[quote="jondeau"]Just as a matter of interest........... I have a countertop basin in my bathroom, I was unable to get any fixings for it, so I stuck it down with silicone. It's been there for nine years now. I figured that as I had piped up the taps with copper it couldn't go far if it st...
