Replacing bath faucets........pl advice?

We moved into out new house and I realized that the water flow in all the faucets that the builder has installed in the bath tubs and showers cannot be controlled .


I could adjust the flow of water in the sinks as it has the connections under the vanity.


But the other faucets unlike the sinks do not have the controls exposed .


Can I replace them without a plumber so that I could avoid water wastage .Replacing bath faucets........pl advice?
Believe it or not, the least expensive solution is also the best and easiest for anyone to do. Every Sink, Faucet or Shower head all share one common item. All of them have an aerator screwed to the head. These aerators are inexpensive to purchase. They can be adjusted, or purchased, for their water saving ability.





Simply purchase a few water restricting aerators for your home and you have solved your issue. Anyone can screw an old one off, and a new one on, in pursuit of your goal. I congratulate you for doing so. Far too many people place little, if any, concern over this issue.Replacing bath faucets........pl advice?
The shower valves that most builders install do not have any volume control. To get volume control and temp control you will have to install new valves.





Flow restrictors for shower heads can be a help. Also look into a shower arm shut off valve. Get wet push the button to stop water flow while lathering up, push button back and rinse off. No water wasted while soaping up.
The quickest, easiest answer that I have is to buy a flow controlling valve installed on your shower-heads. I don't know of any for tub spouts, though. The shower valve can be replaced but it is a lot more complicated, involving drywall and / or tile repair. Not to mention finding a different type of valve that will match the plumbing to the replacement. It also could involve cutting and soldering plumbing pipes.


Hope this helps.
What do you mean the flow cannot be controlled? Are the faucets simple on off switches? I don't understand what the problem is.





You don't control the flow of water from your shutoff valves. You just turn them on or off.
