The hot water in my bathroom sink is too hot. The sink is too small to accept a plastic bowl to do the mixing. Water temperature cannot be changed due to electric boiler having pre-programmed temperature.The taps are 40cm apart from each other. Sacrificing one tap, is it possible to replace one of the two taps with a mixer tap and bring the water from the other tap with a flexible pipe?If so, can it be done DIY?If not, what would it cost me to have the new sink and mixer installed by a plumber? I need to go for the cheapest option.

A sink plug, so you can mix the water in the sink?

Possible to convert bathroom 2 taps with one tap mixer?

You really need to talk to your landlord about this.

In the meantime you could use the plug to wash in a mix of hot and cold, then rinse using cold to assuage your worries about hygiene.

Good point - handy for tooth brushing.

You also don't have to work out what to do about the spare hole.
