Hi there,

I have a bath tap that is not producing hot water. Can anyone identify the mixer valve shown in the attached images? It does not look like anything I can find online. I have tried soaking the valve 'cartridge' in vinegar, which removed a lot of scale. If I constrict the cold water supply, the tap will now produce hot water but very slowly. I assume there is still some sort of blockage, but I don't know how to tackle it. Any ideas?

Best wishes,
CountryBumpkin
 
Sorry, can’t see any images.

Apologies for the initial lack of images... clearly very absent minded.

Update: after further 'de-scaling', the shaft of the valve now leaks... Any suggestions welcome. Can the cartridge be replaced? If not, is there any way to replace the whole valve assembly without smashing the surrounding tiles?
 
Come in from the back any pictures with all the kit on eg complete?
 
I don't have a complete photo. This tap is actually at my grandma's house, so I cannot get a picture for a few days.

The taps are vertically arranged on a chrome bezel/disc. The taps are ~ 2 inch diameter and have about the same depth. Each has a chrome bit sticking out of one side as a handle. I guess that describes most mixer taps...

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

I have a plumber coming tomorrow to change a cartridge on a badly dripping tap on my bathroom mixer unit. There is no separate isolating valve for this tap so I'll have to close the stopcock. I tried closing it today but it won't go absolutely 100% closed and there is still a very slight flow...

The fittings below are for a mixer bar attached to a self contained shower. i.e not a wall. The attaching screws have snapped. I could get two new brackets, dismantle that existing one and start again or I could try and re attach via those screws, removing the broken ones from the plate and wall...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
