Low Water Pressure in Cold Bath Tap

My cold bath tap has very low water pressure. Even turned on fully, it is a mere trickle.
The hot tap is fine.
Any idea what is wrong and how it can be fixed?
Thanks.

Has this suddenly happened or always been like this? I'm sure others will have better suggestions but it may be worth checking if there is a service valve underneath, if so it's possible this is not fully open. The screw on the valve should be in line with the pipe.0

Yes, has always been like that.0

In which case I'd def look to see if it is a valve.0

Hi
What type of tap is it? Ceramic disc or washers. (one is quarter turn the other screws down.)

The brass jumper inside the tap will have dropped, the tap body needs to taken out and replaced, or you can give it a gentle file and lubricate it with silicone grease.0
