Welcome to the forum.

It would help to have more information about the caravan and water system. If you have a microswitch system it could be a switch problem, if you have a pressure switch system it could be an air lock in the system. Regarding the non return valve, is this fitted in the cold pipe to the boiler or the hot pipe from the boiler? Did everything work before you fitted the valve?

Don't know if it worked before aswe bought the van not long ago and someone bodged the cold water feed and was leaking water from it but ifixedthe leaking put another valve on but wasn't sure if it was a non return valve or not was just wondering if it was something to do with that works on micro system I think 🤔

If you have wires coming from the taps then it is a microswitch system, you should hear a faint click from the switch when the tap is turned on. Look in the cupboard below the kitchen taps to see if there are any wires present. If there are wires then check for wires connected to the bathroom taps, check for good connections and clean them if necessary. If the bathroom taps still don't work try turning them on and then switching the kitchen taps on if this results in water in the bathroom it shows that those switches need replacing.

It would still be helpful to know the caravan details, make model year etc as somebody with direct experience may be able to offer more help.

Rob

PS I have assumed that despite the bodgery you still have pipes to the bathroom taps. What sort of valve did you purchase as a replacement?
