just remodeled bathroom- put in new sink, shower, tub.. but sink takes longer to get hot water, why?

Check the size of the supply lines...probably way too small. Any restriction reduces volume.

thanks im not a plumber. but bathroom is already tiled. when i look under the vanity where the plumbing is, is that where the supply lines are? thanks

oh, that could be it.. i never new about low flow.. this are brand new faucets...

Make sure the valve underneath the sink is all the way on/open.

OP could install a mini electric water heater a point of use type if the delay causes real grief

Unless they seriously rerouted the pipes such that there is an additional 35 secs of travel time, I'd guess you've been upgraded to a low-flow faucet. Since the water is not traveling as fast out of the faucet, it's traveling a lot slower in the pipes.

Still, going from "a few seconds" to 35 seconds seems like a major change, unless your old faucet had hydrant-like output.

old faucet was an old american standard from the 1950s..

In addition to all the excellent advice already offered, take the aerator off the faucet for a test run. It may have clogged with sediment the first time it was used. Not easy but a needle can clear the holes.

You are going to get about 1/4 to 1/2 the flow of that old faucet.

nothing clogged, what do you mean 25 to 50 [percent the flow, i dont undersstand what your saying

your old faucet probably flowed more. You haven't substantially changed the volume of water in the piping between the water heater outlet and the sink. So it takes longer for the hot water to arrive when you haven't used the faucet in a while.

re: Not easy but a needle can clear the holes.

So can blowing the aerator out in the opposite direction with an air hose or a jet of water.

You just have to make sure you don't blow the screen out and lose it.

I hate to recommend replace rather than repair, and I haen't looked but I think you can also buy a new screen at a real hardware store, like ACE. You may have to buy a package of 10! It's real but not that real. You can give them to your friends, become Johnny FaucetScreen.

Nate and Bill answered correctly.
