How do you manage to have a decent bath with a modern combi boiler

[theblackradiator]

I have just replaced my 20 odd year old super reliable fantastic back boiler for one of these so called modern wonders (haha) combi boilers. I was advised to due to energy efficiency and running costs and I also struggled to find a gas safe engineer to service old boiler as younger guys now are not trained to service them. so I thought I'd go ahead and modernise and my god how I regret it! so much so I could cry it feels like a total downgrade compared to my old mid 90s backboiler. Running the bath takes a good 20 minutes or more longer, water no where near hot enough for a decent bath as boiler will only heat up to 65 degrees and by the time the bath is filled its going cold. we are a house that absolutely loves and needs baths to help with the aches and pains I suffer from. the central heating seems to work OK but to be honest I think old boiler kept the house consistently warmer and as for running costs I've noticed no difference at all as yet (according to my smart meter readings). no idea of the reason for my long post sorry, I just wanted to vent but if anyone does have any ideas of how to improve my bath water other than boiling the kettle! then any advice welcome. honestly feel I've just totally wasted £3000 to downgrade.

Worcester boiler I believe

In the end I was considering the Baxi 630 30kw and the Baxi 836 36kw. I got the Baxi 630 30kw. Defiantly made the correct decision in going for at least the 30kw.

Baths are hot and fill quickly. Turn the flow fully open at first then slow the flow slightly down so that the water is heating up. Also had a internet thermostat installed which is amazing been able to turn the heating on/off in bed or before leaving work.

@Lister80 Glad you sorted your new boiler. I'm sure my neighbour has an Internet thermostat, there's is solely controlled by an app on their phone. only problem is they said if the Internet ever drops out WiFi down etc then they lose heating & hotwater as have no otherway of operating there boiler which I find odd. they have a baxi too.
I've had my boiler for 6 months now and I have got used to it now. Still annoys me with the time it takes to run a bath, used to be in and out the bath with my old boiler in the time it takes just to fill with this one! And the amount of water wasted waiting for hotwater to come through the hot taps is ridiculous I've not used the preheat water setting as I want to keep energy costs down as much as possible. but overall its working Fine.
