The only hot tap that doesn't give constant hot water in the house is the bath tap. It gets hot for seconds and then goes lukewarm/cold. The connector had been disconnected from the tap, opened up the isolation valve and let the water run in to a bucket with the same thing happening, starts hot and then goes cold. It's nothing to do with the tap.
The water pressure from the tap is fine too.
Why is it that only one tap/hot water outlet doesn't get hot?
Apparently this happened after the boiler was serviced and the guy that services the boiler blamed the tap but the tap is not the problem as the same thing happens with the water temperature going from hot to cold when the water come straight from the pipe.
Any ideas?

Do you have a thermostatic mixing valve under the bath?

Is the plumbing copper or plastic? If the latter, then a kink somewhere in the run is a possibility.

Are you sure it’s the hot water? I have a similar issue if stuff has been sat on my draining board, a wet tea towel or possibly gone away damp.
