Thread: Rayburn wood burning stove

We had the same problem Dave and when we upgraded the bathroom the plumber was very selective as to the shower we installed. He minimised the problem.

I have been trying to remember the details, but cannot. I do remember clearly that the first ten or so showers that my wife selected, the plumber rejected as incompatible with our hot water pressure - I vaguely remember that it was related to the type of mixer.

I am sorry I cannot be more helpful, but it might be worthwhile for you to talk in your local plumbing/bathroom supplies shop.

does anybody know of anybody who would repair an Rayburn 2. I am not sure what is wrong with it
I live in the upper northshore of sydney

This may not be of much help to you, but there is a bloke here who rebuilds them (and other stoves). Seems to be very knowledgeable about them. Ray Collins is his name, look at Bairnsdale Stoves Heaters & BBQs | Stonemell, Cookers, Service, Spare Parts | Bairnsdale VIC

Obviously a long way from where you are, but you may be able to get phone advice from him, or a contact in your area, or spare parts if that's what you need.

What sort of repair do you need?

Contact the AGAShop in Melbourne on 03 9521 4965. They are the importers and they have an outlet in Sydney. They should be able to recommend someone to help you.
