Why is no water coming out of cold tap?
Your tap troubles may sometimes be due to frozen pipes. A frozen pipe can stop the flow of water to your home’s faucets. If no water coming from tap, check if its connected pipe is frozen. If your tap is still not working, contact your plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.
Is there hot and cold water in the upstairs bathroom?
Hi, I drained the house of water, then drained hot water tank and fitted a new immersion heater in the tank bottom. After turning all the taps back on, I have hot and cold downstairs and in the power shower upstairs. However, no cold water in the bathroom upstairs.. No toilet sink or bath. Everywhere else is fine.
Why does my hot water run out upstairs?
Hot water upstairs is also fine. The problem is with the cold water upstairs. If I turn the tap on it runs at a low pressure for about 4 seconds and then just trickles to a stop. The toilet refills incredibly slowly as well. The cold water tank is in the loft, and is filled to the top with water, so no problems there. Not sure what else to do.
Why is the cold water not working in my downstairs toilet?
Upstairs toilets and cold water taps are not working but downstairs is fine – full pressure! What’s occurring here? I guess your downstairs tap is supplied from mains and everything upstairs – from a water tank (usually in a loft).
Why does my upstairs tap not work but my downstairs tap work?
If the upstairs taps don’t work but the downstairs taps still work, or if the water pressure from a particular tap gradually declined until the water flow reached a trickle, then you might have an air lock in your pipes.

What to do when your home has no cold water?
When you have turned the cold back on its trapped the air down the pipe and made an air lock somewhere. Try blowing down the cold tap on the bath or basin as though your blowing a trumpet, make sure the ball valve in the cistern is held closed and the basin cold tap is shut off. That may clear the air.
