The water pressure in my bathtub has gone down to a trickle. It was fine yesterday but not today. There is very little water coming from the bathtub faucet and the shower head. The pipes make a "gurgling" noise when the water is turned on.

Every other faucet in the house is fine, including the sink located in the same bathroom. What could be the problem?

Thanks!

Probably some kind of trash got lodged in the faucet, you need to turn off the water at the meter or any other cutoff that you have. Take the faucet apart and see if anything is in it, you might have someone help you by holding something in front of the faucet to make the water go down into the tub. As they are holding that you could turn the water on for just a few seconds, maybe 15, then off. Put things back together and wee if you have done any good. If not post again and tell us what kind of faucet you have.
