if you are replacing a tub with a whirlpool tub that is the same size then it can be easier but if you have a pump then you still need power and a access panel for your pump. If you are new home or a remodel then you need to know where you want your faucet either deck mount or side wall and drain and access panel for your pump and power . The hardest part is installing a tub with no access to the drain hook up once the tub is in place. If you want to save money and do it your self then I would read/follow the install instructions that come with the tub or you can find them online.

Correction - There is an existing Delta faucet and to change to the Price Pfister, the stem needs to be changed. Being it is under the fiberglass cutout, there needs to be a way to access it. Remove tub or break tile? Unless there is something I am missing.

The installation of faucets in a new or antique clawfoot tub is easy if the holes already exist. First step would be removing the faucet already installed, bring the old faucet to the store to choose a new one as it is difficult to widen the openings without the appropriate tools. Once you have the new faucet follow the directions included to install it.

Clawfoot tub shower faucets run the gamut from vintage to modern. The best sources for information on installation are the manufacture's website or networks/shows such as DIY and HGTV.

What is the fix for when you flush the toilet while in the shower the water gets hot?

New pressure balance faucet or you can install a pressure balance valve in the water lines behind tub or if you have a crawl space you can install it on the water lines there. But install only too the lines to tub faucet. And they are not easy no matter where you install. I would just tell everyone not to use any water till you are done with shower.
