Bath mixer tap problem

[interested]

Hi all,

I have a problemwith the hot water from my bath tap. Thetap is a mixer type and the cold water works fine. I’m also getting hot/cold water from thesink.

I’m not sure whatthe problem is, i.e. does the tap need replacing or the does the spindle needreplacing. Can anyone advise me?

I’ve been quotedaround £40 by a plumber to replace the bath taps, but this is almost half adays wages for me so I want to try and tackle myself.

Thank you.

Coud be the washer, could be the guts have failed.

40 to swap bath taps, snap his arm off.

I'd rather fix myself. Would it be easier to replace the whole tap?

Can you post a picture of the tap? Could be a variety of things depending on the type of tap.
