I have had these in our bathroom for a few years and the hot tap is

these taps need greater pressure to seal properly. The cold tap is
working at mains pressure and is giving no trouble.

Anyone know?

They mostly rely on pressure from o'rings to seal.
may be you can find new o'rings,if they are not specially made.


IME, a spring loaded cup-shaped neoprene or similar seal, not just a common
or garden 'O' ring.
