If you take it apart (and you probably can) you will probably find one of two things.

  1. It has a plastic interior part that is rubbed down so it doesn't work like it should, and you can't replace that part so you'll have to buy a new one.

  2. You have hard water, lime scale buildup may be blocking part of the mechanism. If this is the case you could soak the entire thing in a solution to remove the lime scale.

Both options will usually take up enough time that working an extra few hours at work (if you have that option) and then replacing the faucet is cheaper.
