    I will make the following assumptions:

    1) This is a tub only, not a tub/shower
    2) There is hot water

    Most modern faucets use devices called cartridges. These devices go bad after a time, and need to be replaced. If your tub has separate handles for hot and cold, then you need to replace the cold cartridge. If you have a single handle, then you need to replace that cartridge.

    This is the most likely problem. It is also possible that debris has clogged the cartridge or that (if you have them) an integral stop has gone bad. This last is a part of the valve itself, but can be replaced by a plumber.

    I hope this helps!

No water to both sinks / very low cold water pressure to bath and washer [ 1 Answers ]

My kitchen and bathroom sink have no water, period. Hot water seems to be pretty good to the bath and washer but cold water to those 2 locations are very weak. The outside faucet is very weak at best. I have had this problem for quite some time so it's not the fact that they are frozen. I just...
