Broken shower - can anyone help?

Some nights it's been boiling hot even on the lowest temperature, and tonight it's freezing cold even on the maximum temperature, it's so bad I have to skip having a shower and go to bed dirty lol.

Anyone skilled in this area who knows whats up?

not too worry. I am guessing it is the sensor in your boiler which has gone. This is where i would start first as it's the cheapest to replace.

£12-£22 for the sensor and like £20 for a call out from a gas engineer. If not that, it could be the mechanics inside the shower if it's electric. If not that then it's the boiler tech which might of malfunctioned.

Is it a house or flats? if it's flats with connected water supply it might just be a pressure issue.

But as you can tell, you might need to call someone out and they will go through the check list. Cannot say from here for sure.

Sensor is your first port of call. I just dealt with this issue few days ago. It wasn't the sensor turned out to be the shower so had it all replaced.

Good luck, nothing to worry about too much.
