2. Had a similar problem, but with our kitchen sink

We have one of those lift faucets, and we were not getting any hot water there (and cold water was not too much either).

A plumber dismantled the faucet (and got it fixed). Problem was similar to what post 1 described.

If you have a simple faucet, give it a try. I hate plumbing (you can't cover your mess up, as there will always be a leak!), so I turned it over to a plumber. Our kitchen faucet was complex: I could have taken it apart, but I would have never been able to put it back together so that it worked and didn't leak.
