Last week I had a pipe burst from the cold weather,I had a plumber come out and fix it but now I have very low water pressure in my bathtub faucet.The water was off for two days,could the faucet valves be clogged with setiment ,should I try and change my waterfaucet?Any info will be greatly appriciated.

Could be debris stuck in the valves, but normally would only affect the side that had been worked on, unless it is a single handle mixer. Removed the valve and very briefly turn the water on/off. This should dislodge any debris.
