No water pressure to wet room!

Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of advice please.
We had a wet room put on a few years ago for my disabled daughter. Plumbing was fine until last year when we got a massive leak and had to turn the mains water off. After 6 weeks of only turning the mains on when needed, ( had to wait on water board as leak was on the main road ) we finally got the water back on.
First thing we noticed was that the wet room toliet and sink weren't working properly. So we left it for a few days and eventually the toliet filled and the cold tap worked but the hot tap never really worked. It would trickle a small amount of water and then just stopped (it's been like that for a year now).
I've always been meaning to get it fixed but never got round to it !!!128584; so last night I read up and thought it might be airlocked so turned mains off and emptied the system. When we put the water back on every tap and toliet in the house worked except for the wet room.
Now there's only a trickle coming from the cold and hot tap and the toliet is getting nothing at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated or should I just call a plumber in?

Given that it is a room that your daughter requires I would just bite the bullet and get a plumber in. There could be a range of reasons behind the problem and it could take ages for people to advise and for you to eliminate each possible reason. All the while, the room is presumably unusable?
Good luck with it.0
