Is this happening with all of your hot taps or just the bath tap?

You could try this if the tap isn't turning as much as it used to.

Put plug in bath - to prevent loss of small parts

Turn hot water off.

Remove tap handle - usually a small screw under the hot/cold badge

Remove shiny outer casing

Remove spring clip - having noted its position on the spindle

Use spanner to remove tap workings

Apply a bit of vaseline or similar to the moving part (esp bit that slides up and down - difficult to explain but mor obvious when you have the parts in front of you)

Reassemble, making sure the the spring clip is relocated in the right place

If the taps turn normally, there could be something obstructiong water flow. Remove main part as above and slowly turn water on to clear blockage before reassembling tap assembly.

Good luck.
