Hi, I have a problem with the cold water going to my bath and
shower, and before we go to the expense of calling in a plumber im
wondering if there is something we can do ourselves. The bath is in
the far side of the house, the boiler is in the kitchen, which is in
the middle of the house. The pipes which run into the house for the
cold water is coming into the house from the same side as the
bathroom! The problem is that the cold water tap in the bath is not
working. The cold water is going to the toilet, the bathroom sink
and to the kitchen sink. Why not the bath, when it comes first? We
live first floor flat of an old house.

The bath tap worked for about 6 months after we moved in. It hasnt
worked for about 6 months. Could it be related to the fact the people
downstairs moved out and no-one has moved in properly yet? (They are
doing endless renovations!!)

It's *possible*. You really need to trace the pipes, and find out where the
feed comes from. If for, some reason, you have a separate cold feed from
below to the bath tap, and if this has been turned off - it would explain
your symptoms!
