Baxi combi boiler hot water sometimes doesn't kick in?

The CH is working fine but for some reason the hot water takes a long time to kick in and I have to turn the tap on FULL for the boiler to kick in. Then when I close the tap a bit to a sensible stream, the boiler stops and the water goes cold again. This is the case with or without CH on.

Thanks Alan. Don't suppose you know if that's something I can do myself or is it a repairman job?
