Bath tap water flow slow

Question

Cold water on my Bath Tap is very slow, hardly any water coming out, any idea ?

Andrew · Accepted Answer

Probably  the tap washer if all other taps are ok might be better off getting a new tap fitted

Ben · Answer

Stuck washer/ debris in the pipe/ isolation valve closed, thermal mixing valve playing up, flexi hose twisted, high pressure tap fitted on gravity-fed system.

Rick · Answer

If it's just the cold bath tap then my best guess would be that the rubber tap washer has detached itself from the mechanism that's supposed to hold it in place (the 'jumper'). When this happens the washer keeps the tap in the off position even when you raise the jumper to undo the tap. Water supply needs isolating and the tap head needs to come off to carry out the necessary work.

Could be a number of things. What's the basin outlet pressure like in same bathroom? Could be bad flow due to blockage. Have someone come out and have a look for you.
