This thread has reminded me to clean the shower head. Should really do it once a week.

Thanks for indulging me, @Spiderweb and @ColinJ. As expected, the calcium levels tell the story.

Don't buy those little sachets of descaler at your supermarket. Buy citric acid in bulk from Ebay. You can get 2kg of it in powder form for under a tenner. That does an awful lot of shower heads, kettles, coffee makers, taps etc. Good tip about the plastic bag @ianrauk.

A couple of kilos of potassium nitrate offers much more potential for fun: curing ham, tree stump rotting, crater making......

Ah yes, crater making....

Ah yes, crater making....

I think of it as landscaping.

Limelite or Viacal. Dreadful limescale here .. I fight a continuous battle against it... it appears to be winning.

Lime scale update ... I wrapped my taps in small plastic bags filled with limelight liquid and left them overnight and they now look fantastic! I've also ordered some Kilrock from Amazon (£2.50 delivered) which I'll use to keep the lime scale at bay in the future.
Thank you once again for all your advice.
