    Hey folks
    There is an old style mixer tap in my bathroom and the pressure on the hot side is very very low,
    The pressure down stair and in the other upstairs bathroom are fine , Is this a problem with just the tap ?
    Is there any easy way to fix it  ?

    At a guess I’d imagine it’s a high pressure mixer and the cold is fed by the mains. The hot is gravity and is low pressure.

    How could you tell and how could it be sorted?

    Usually it’s a flexi hose going up to the tap?
