I Don't Have Any Hot Water Coming Into My Sink In My Bathroom..... [View all]

I get a slow trickle of water that hardly amounts to any. The cold water works like it should but not the hot water. I get hot water in my bathtub; in my other bathroom; in the kitchen sink and shower stalls.

The only place I don't get hot water is in my bathroom sink.

Any ideas as to how I can correct this situation myself or do I have to call a plumber?

Note that under the sink - I have two shutoff valves. One for the hot water and one for the cold water. And yes they are both in the on position - as I already checked that.

Any help would be appreciated.
