almost no cold water upstairs,rest of house fine.

hi guys..at the moment i have virtually no cold water upstair in main bathroom..the set up is as follows...very slow water to cystern, very slow water to basin, NO water to bath (unless i hold my finger over basin tap whilst its running then a trickle comes through bath tap), shower is an electric one and i HAVE great pressure & cold water through that)..the water in the bathroom is run off its own tank in the loft (i assume ) as their are 2 big tanks in loft plus the header.the bathroom water has it own stop valve which i can turn on and off without affecting the rest of the water through the house & the pipework runs to one of the big tanks in loft... all tanks in loft are full,so please does anyone have any ideas as to how i can restore my water to bathroom ?...many many thanks in advance.....ALAN

Could be a couple of things.
The valve that isolates the supply to the bathroom could need replacing.
You could have an airlock.
Strange that the shower has good pressure if it's from the same supply as the rest of the bathroom, but I'd guess that the shower is fed from the mains.
When did this start?

The water started to get weaker about 4 to 5 days ago but now its almost a trickle

Can you run a hose from shower to bath tap,open cold on bath tap then slowly open shower,this may clear it

Not sure on the rates down there but somewhere between £40-80 roughly
