    Water shut off now low pressure in 1 tap only
    Had to shut the water off to whole home for a fixit.

    Did the repair and turned water back on.

    Bled all lines and all taps/fixtures are fine except sink in master bath which just trickles. Was running fine before shut off.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    When you made your repair you loosened some crud built up in the pipe walls.
    The first faucet to make a draw sucked it up and it's now clogging the inlet ports or the seat. Shut the water off under the cabinet and open up the faucet. Check and clean the faucet inlets. Now turn the water back on for a minute to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Working now? Regards, Tom
