Depending on which type it is, it either need a new washer or seat in the valve. The washer is a flat rubber disk that seals when you turn the faucet off and the seat is a small rubber cup that does the same thing.

Glacier bay kitchen faucet water comes out slow hot or cold how do you repair this?
I just brought a Glacier Bay pull down ceramic kitchen faucet Model 896408. After installing it, the cold water wasn't coming out of the faucet. It turned out the problem was the coldwater supply line inside the faucet was bent & twisted. As a result, when the body of the faucet was attached, it had to be turned just a little to position it correctly, this tighted and choked the water supply line even more- which meant "no cold water." Waiting on replacement line from Glacier Bay, which, I am certain, will correct the problem.
