Please help. Hot water in bath only fills up one quarter of tub then goes off

[danicali]

Hello all. Please if anyone can help... I moved into a social housing flat with my little boy last June, and we don't have a shower, only a bath tub, and the hot water always runs out at about a quarter full (the flow literally stops) and all you get is cold water from the other tap. I have spent since June boiling kettles for myself and son for baths... they did tell me when I moved in that the hot water was limited but didn't explain how so. The flat is all electric, no gas. The storage tank is very large so don't see why it should cut out so soon. Is there anything I can do to fix this so the tub fills up with hot water? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks

thanks for taking the mickey out me, gents. there is no label on anything on the unit. that is why I have not replied as such. I took a photo of the unit, saved it as a jpeg, 103k only, and tried for an hour to upload it. it didn't work. I just tried again, it didn't work. keep taking the mickey though, it's really funny to not have a shower or a full bath for months on end when it's not you, or to be questioned as to why I took the place - because I had no other choice I would have been homeless, cheers for your kindness

HI Danni where are you based! sorry you got stitched in a social move! but the still have a responsabilty!

Your problems to me sounds like there a problem with one of 3 things:-

loft tank not filling fast enough,
Either the float is stuck up or the valve is full of crud = new part 2 float valve and float under £10.

Air lock in the hot water system,
could try blasting it back with the cold main.

Blockage in the pipe work,
harder to resolve!

Just thought of another do you a thermostatic mixer on the bath or a TMV 3 somewhere to limit the temp of the hot, then these could be faulty and shutting down at temp!

Hope this helps.
