How can I get hotter water? (with pictures)
Comments

We have this problem but only in winter. We were told that it is something to do with the outside temperature of the water and the boiler can't heat it up quick enough as it somes through, thats why in summer the bath water is always really hot as the water coming from outside is warmer.
Only thing we can do is buy a more efficient boiler.

Thanks for posting such a detailed and thorough post Leystone. Much appreciated.
It's such a simple thing but having let the hot tap run at about 1/4 of its full capacity it seems that this has resolved it. Ok it takes a long time to fill a bath but I prefer the shower for everyday use.
Again thanks for all taking the time to respond.0
