A plumber came in to replace our shower mixer as it lost water pressure over the year from limescale blockage I believe!
The plumber managed to install the new shower mixer however it looks extremely botched! Please have a look at the picture and tell me...
Hi,
After discovering there was no mains water this morning, I've traced the problem part of the way. Looks like the blue plastic mains is frozen somewhere between the street mains and the stopcock under my sink. I've tried gently warming the 6 inches or so of the blue mains that I have access...
