Hi, recently moved into new house, (the house is four years old), the bath has very low hot water temperature, I'm assuming its an anti scald device?
The hot water in the rest of the house is fine, eg kitchen sink, utility sink, bathroom wash hand basins, etc, they all get nice and hot, its just the bath.
The bath has a bog standard mixer tap (Roca).
Now in the developers wisdom, there is no access what so ever to get under the bath to the trap, waste or hot and cold supplies.
The bath is fully tiled, and the bath panel is fully tiled also, with no access panel. So to get under the bath will require damaging the tiles/panel, how is that a good idea? I can't understand why they do not leave any suitable access for problems later on?
If I do find a way to get under the bath, can I remove the anti scald device or can they be switched off or adjusted to give a hotter bath temperature?
The bath water gets warm, but not hot, I'd say its about 45 - 50 degrees? My wife is constantly moaning about it, we are both mid 50s, I know anti scald is to protect the elderly, small children, etc, but we are perfectly capable of adjusting our own bath water temp (given the chance).
Cheers
