It works fine on hot but just a small slow stream comes out on cold. The other sinks in the house work fine. I have checked the shut off under the sink and it is fully on.
Answer
It either needs the washer or the brass barrel inside the tap replacing. You will need to turn the water off from underneath the sink.
Try fitting a new washer first, if that does not improve things take the top of the tap off again and remove the brass barrel. Take this to a plumbers merchant or a large D.I.Y. store to enable you to get the correct size. They are sold in pairs and cost about £15.
If you are reluctant to remove the barrel, buy several sizes on sale or return and ask for in store advice on how to remove and replace the barrel. B&Q have in store plumbers.
I watched a plumber doing this, then when a tap in another room went kaput I did it myself.

kitchen sink tap burst, water sprayed everywhere...I had kitchen faucet replaced...now theres banging/knock...?

now theres banging/knocking like noises when i turn the water on in the kitchen sink.? Could there be something more wrong?What is this noise, I'm scared to turn it on again.
there is no water shut off valve under the sink for some reason, it's actually in the basement. The banging/knocking actually stopped now after a day of working in the new faucet i imagine but i am still very worried there could still be something wrong and this could happen again. There was no warning or issues of any kind with the tap when it burst out of nowhere, nobody was even at the sink using it and nobody was using any water at all when this happend?
Answer
this can be a loose washer on the faucet or the shut off valve under your kitchen sink. if its loose, this washer wil bounce back and forth as the water flow increases and decreases due to pressure. i would look into the shut off valve on the sink first. best of luck
