Iffy mixer tap

When I turn on the hot water on the mixer tap in the bath after a few seconds, well about a minute, the water cools down from hot to luke warm. I have found that if I reduce the flow to half way it becomes hot and stays hot. Is this due to a faulty ceramic washer or something else.?
The adjacent mixer tap in the wash basin is ok.
The water is heated from a combi boiler.
 
No apparent fault here, it just shows that your combi cant cope with the water demand you are asking from it.....all pretty typical!

If that is so why are the other 3 mixer taps and the shower not similarly affected.
 
I understand the logic here and can only assume the bath taps are capable of a much greater water delivery.
Assuming the volume of water isn't affected, of course!
