Thoughts on plumbing service call for just this issue please (not who to call).
OP, I may have misread your post. Is this a bathtub faucet or a sink faucet? If it is a bathtub faucet, you may have a mixing valve issue. I commend Laker14 for fixing this as a DIY. But, personally, I would not attempt it. First, when you turn off the water to your house, if something goes wrong, you may not be able to turn the water back on without a serious leak. And, second, if you need to replace the entire mixing valve cartridge, and you don't properly seat the o-rings, you can create a slow leak behind the wall which you won't see until you have a major problem. I would hire an experienced plumber.
