when i start to turn it its okay for a couple of second but then it gives off a rattling loud noise, if i turn the tap on full it stops, can i fix this myself (if so how) or will i need a plumber...its only the one tap in the upstairs bathroom that does this.

Mine did this it was just a washer in the tap, a few pence from B&Q my friend fixed it. H e turned off the water and used a wrench to screw off the top of the tap. I would find a handy friend if you have never done it before and treat them to a drink.

Are you having any problem with the cold water coming out of your kitchen sink? If not...it's just that particular faucet and not your main cold water supply. If it gradually got less and less sounds like a clog...the question is where. The fact that the tap is hard to turn may indicate a problem with the faucet itself and not somewhere along the pipeline. Unfortunately, it sounds like you need to consult a professional plumber or someone really handy with that sort of thing because you'll probably have to take the faucet apart to determine the problem. Hope this helps.

Change the tap washer, it has come loose and is reverberating as water passes it. Turning the pressure down at the stop tap can also stop it.
