These polypropylene faucets, just like metal faucets, if you don't touch them, they'll stick for years. Take off the plastic lever and gently use an adjustable wrench back and forth to slowly work out the amplitude of the turn. There is no culprit here and there is: the repairman should have warned you to turn all taps once every 2 months and you should have complied at least once every 1 to 2 years.

Until the plumber does not come you can climb into the toilet barrel and raise the float so the water does not come up And you turn the faucet in that direction?

Call a plumber to see if you can't tell what's wrong.

You may be turning it the wrong way and you have to make a lot of effort to turn it. Closing clockwise. The red one is overlapped.

You have to turn the valves from time to time. Valves tend to get stuck to the surfaces that rub against them. Otherwise, call a plumber. Valves are unreliable and can be broken.

Do you turn the gray tap in the right direction? They're both ball valves. They only have two positions, open and closed.

Call a plumber. The valves must be replaced. Even if you manage to turn them without any visible loss, to some extent the ball seal will be damaged and reliability will be reduced These are ball valves. What happened is common if you leave them untouched for years or use them to regulate the head. According to the documentation these have only 2 working positions open-closed and once a month you need to move from one position to another. Otherwise, sediments of salts and contaminants on the surface of the water harden and. which happened.

You have stuck taps. I advise you not to suffer and call a plumber and change them to avoid such problems in the future. And change to a better ball valve. For example quality Italian faucets from RB they do not stick and easily rotate without effort.
