Have to keep on turning the hot water tap on in the bathroom sink several times - sometimes 15 - 30 times before the boiler fires up and we get hot water. Even when it does come on it goes cold again before running hot again and then going cold in an endless cycle. Consequently can't have a hot bath. Any suggestions?

is your boiler

premixed burner?

etc..

i could have avoided all these questions if only you had provided the following information
boiler make
boiler model
any fault indicator lights flashing
in what sequence
does problem affect DHW or CH or BOTH

a centipede walks into a doctors surgery
doctor asks whats the problem
my toe hurts says the centipede
which toe asks the doctor
i dont know says the centipede
your just going to have to check them all doctor
if the centipede has over 100 pairs of legs
& 10 toes on each foot
how long would it take the doctor to identify the problem toe
