You need to change the mixer

Either get tap replaced or call a plumber out to see if it can be repaired but would really suggest changing it

It could be the tap itself or the main tap junction turned off in the bathroom its usually hidden in the bathroom

It sounds like you need to replace the washers

For the amount of time this could take to repair, your better of just replacing them.

possibly the washer is gone on your tap, it is very easy to replace

This would normally just be a part but in some cases it can be a new tap

Cold water valve has seized up. This is due to age, washer deterioration or turning tap of to hard.

Hello homeowner the problem with your mixer tap will be one of two things firstly it could be the internals have broken up or secondly it could have started to seize up this restricting the movement of the tap parts you need to get the tap stripped for inspection and assess whether it is economical to repair or replace taps

They can stick so feels like it is turning on but does not open up inside, can usually be repaired if not new tap, we would be happy to do.

The cartridge needs changing not the tap

Sounds like cold tap cartridge will need replacing if can't found same cartridge it would then probably be new taps which on the bonus of that new taps will come with guarantee/warranty normally if any faults happen with guarantee
