I have called in a plumper to help, but just interested and check I have not done something silly. I put in a new bath & sink just before Christmas and everything was fine. But in the last week the hot water in the bath & sink is only getting to 35' but the shower is running fine 55'.

I did not change any of the hot water piping, except change the taps and a bit of new pipe for the sink. The odd thing is the boiler feeds the water to the shower first, then T fitting takes the water to the bath & sink then a down feed pipe to the sink in the kitchen. I cannot understand more the shower is fine, then 3 feet later the hot water is luke warm. The

Everything worked fine for years, so it must be a boiler (Aritson MicroGenius II 24) but just interested what could the problem be. The only thing I noticed the hot water feed from the boiler is 15mm to the shower, then it turns to 22mm then back to 15mm running down to the kitchen. Could it be a pressure problem and the change in pipe size affects the boiler.

I am not touching the boiler, but just interested in what could be the problem. Many thanks
