depends on age of boiler, worcester until recently had a very poor system for topping up the boiler. Under the bottom of the boiler is a removable cover, in it should be a white T shaped key, this has to be inserted to the underside of the boiler into a hole and then twisted to lock into position. Next to this to the left is a small hexagonal white or grey tap. Twist anti clockwise and you will here the water rush into the boiler, if the white key is in properly boiler will top up, if not it will gush water from the key area!

under the boiler there could be a silver hose with one or two valves on turn 1/4 trun when pressure reads 1.5 bar turn off.OR the is a white key with the boiler might be in the flap under the boiler fitt it into the hole under the boiler to the right, turn it 1/4 turn. then turn the grey knob till you hear water running in, then as above.
