Start here. One tap or fixture usually means a blocked aerator, a partly closed valve, or a faulty mixer — often a quick fix. The whole house points to something bigger: a low-pressure hot water system, a partly closed main valve, a pressure-reducing valve issue, or a supply problem.
If your hot water is on a low-pressure system, switching to mains pressure (a new cylinder or a califont) transforms the shower. It's the most common real fix we recommend when pressure is weak on hot but fine on cold. We'll diagnose the cause before suggesting anything.
FAQ
That usually means a low-pressure hot water cylinder. Upgrading to mains pressure gives much stronger hot flow, especially for showers.
Sometimes — a blocked aerator or partly closed valve is a quick fix. Whole-house or hot-only issues may need valve or cylinder work. We diagnose first.
