There is no hot water coming out of the hot tap for the bath but the
hot water tap for the sink does have hot water coming out of it. I
have checked the tap and it is not bunged up with limescale. To
check to se if other parts of the tap are not gunked up I need to
take the tap apart but I can't work out how to cut the hot water off
to the tap, help the missus is bending my ear!!!


If you have a combi boiler just turn the water off at the mains.

If you have a cylinder in an airing cupboard and a tank in the roof,
you should see a large pipe coming down and into the bottom of the
cylinder with a large valve in it with a circular tap on it. Turn that
off. (If you can. They are usually crapped up)


Make that 'always' crepped up. Useless things. Spray with WD40, remove
wheel & use mole grips or similar.
