Is there any plumbers that can check my bathroom showers please, the water pressure is so low, water just trickling out!
Or equally any advice ? I live in Cox, if anyone is near that area, many thanks.

Firstly, before you call the plummer, check if the shower head is not blocked. Usualy it clogs with sand or something like sand. Just unscrew the shower head to see. My tap was just trickling, so I unscrew the aerator - little sieve, it was blocked. I hope this helps. Good luck.

not sand but calcium buildup....
What kind of heater for the water do you use? Gaz or electric? Is it the same in the taps in the bathroom/kitchen?
Shower head fixed or handheld? If handheld then remove it and turn the water on. Trickle or lots of water?
If lots of water from the flexible pipe with the "head" removed; purchase another or soak in a white vinegar solution to desolve the calcium buildup.. Just like a kettle..

Hi Ray, thank you for your helpful reply, it is an electric boiler, I'm not at the property at the moment but will check all your solutions to the problem as soon as I am able, thank you so much.
