I get intermittent hot water with my bath mixer tap but perfect hot water from kitchen & bath sink mixer taps?
Q. I get intermittent hot water with my bath mixer tap but perfect hot water from kitchen & bath sink mixer taps. It all runs from a combi-boiler and until recently all was ok, now there hardly a need to use the cold tap in the bath as the hot tap tends to only deliver luke warm water. All other mixer taps in the property are working fine?!?! I gather it's not a boiler issue but don't know what to do with the bath tap to fix it? Cheers

A. Newer faucets for the bath have an anti scald thermostat built in to them. This mixes in cold water if the hot water is too hot to prevent that scalding. It sounds to me like yours is sticking open. If it is of that type there may be a rebuild kit available for the faucet. If not that then somebody has done some plumbing where they tied a cold water line to the hot. But since you said "intermittent" it is most likely that built in thermostat in the control not closing properly.

How difficult would it be for me to lay ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath?
Q. I have never done this before. Is it something I should even attempt?

A. You should learn how to do it right. Contray to what others say it is not real easy for a first timer without the right tools and knowledge, but the experience can be rewarding if you do it right. A good place to start your education: do not use mastic, or premixed thinset or the cheapo dry thinset!!! Use good quaility thinset. There are several CBU boards and a few membranes you can use for your tile base. Good Luck

A. Request salary requirements in the ad. And then decide what the applicants are worth to you based on their experience and salary requirements. To answer your other questions is really whats going to make your buisness priorities. An inexperienced designer might be cheaper for you, and thus you can pass that on to your clients. The opposite would be true for a very experienced designer, but there will always be clients for either end of that threshold, so pick your place in the world. In other words its just another question of quality versus cost.
