Step 1 · Prepare Work Area and Shut Off Water
Begin by clearing the area around the tub to create a safe and efficient workspace. Remove any bath mats, toiletries, or decorative items. Locate the water shut-off valves for the tub. These are often found behind the access panel. If there are no dedicated shut-offs, you must find and close the main water shut-off valve for the entire house. Turn the valves clockwise to close them. Once closed, turn on the old tub faucet handles to confirm the water flow has stopped and to relieve any pressure in the lines. Have a bucket and old rags ready for the next steps.
