Mend Tap Turn Coming

cold tap very little water?

Hi
When I try to turn on my cold tap it will hardly turn on and I only have a little dribble of water coming from the tap.
Could this be down to a faulty washer or is the tap faulty ?
thanks

You'll find the tap will be gunged up with limescale and probably the washer and its support are corroded too, when you dismantle it. You can get new inserts though which mean you don't have to renew the whole tap (usually)!
