Can I even do this by myself?

I have fine shower pressure, but awful tub pressure. Both hot and cold water. Nothing is leaking. I have checked everything, turned every valve I can find in the house, made sure the TP valve is secured to the water heater. There are no valves at the back of the tub which is what i was hoping for. I took the shower head and diverter off and still poor pressure. My last guess is this mix valve. I'm wondering if I need to call a plumber because I dont have a soldering kit and that looks soldered at the bottom. Plumbing is far from my forte. Im leaning towards calling a plumber anyways, but I'm always in the mood to save a buck. submitted by /u/HuggiesGriff [link] [comments]
