Hi there, my hot tap in my bathroom isn't working, cant figure out why? It was working fine a few days ago then went to use it and a tiny trickle came out (barely anything), now nothing. Would this be something my husband could look at without calling out a plumber, having bad week - dishwasher, laptop and iron have all packed up too :-(

hi, could be the tap is a non rising head type of tap, i would turn off the hot water supply ensure you have done so by opening another hot tap in house , then remove tap top and using adjustable spanners undo tap valve body , you may find that the lower partof valve has worked it self loose and the threaded body will need threading back together , its quite often a problem on this type of tap, just put it back together and it should be ok

the tap washer may have swollen so it CANNOT lift allowing the water to flow, strip tap and change the tap washer keep some spares by you that fit both the sink and bath taps.(they are different sizes)
