Probably not, you will have to repair the faucet.

Some newer homes are being built with a central manifold panel that distributes water to the various locations of a home's plumbing. With this system a particular line can be shut-off while the other lines remain active. That said, very few homes have this relatively new feature. I've never seen a shut-off valve for a tub either. Why? Because the water lines are typically located in the walls and the faucets seldom need replaced. All you need are some new rubber gaskets, which is a quick and easy fix.

How long have you ever had the water considerable off? the tub must be the backside fixture on your place or you have the tub/bathe diverter in the bathe place, and water is draining ou of the pipe between the bathe head and the faucet. One final theory, the water considerable valve is leaking AND your bath is the backside fixture in the domicile, and any water that's getting by ability of the main considerable valve is popping out the tub faucet and not permitting stress to construct as much as the different furnishings. enable a million/2 -a million hr after shutting considerable off to permit for drain down, and in case you nevertheless have water on the tub faucet after that the main considerable shutoff is leaking.

1st, set a bucket or 1gallon pail to catch the dripping water. If it collects more than that in three days, call a plumber. If you are a do-it-yourself, it is not very difficult to fix the leak,but you will need to turn the water off at the main source temporarily. . You will eventually have to fix it. A plumber can cut off water to that portion of the house for about $250.00. He can fix the faucet for about $ 100.00. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF WITHOUT SOME EXPERIENCE.

Go to your basement or crawlspace and look for any shut-off valves. Turn them off individually and turn your tub faucet on each time. Hopefully, one of these will stop the water flow to the tub. This will allow you to repair it as suggested previously.
Unfortunately, "sensible" is correct.

For some reason (probably a few bucks) contractors do not install shut-off valves on tubs. You will need to either cut a hole in a wall to access the pipes and install valves or fix the leak. If you cut a hole, do yourself a favor and buy an access panel opening and install it for future use.

Only if you have a shut off in the line before the tub, it sounds like an easy fix, you may just need a washer, it would take five minutes to fix. Good luck

You could just add a shutoff valve if you have any experience soldering pipe. It's a pretty simple fix.
If you don't want to ever use it and can't fix it or add a valve, you could just cut it and cap it with a sharkbite. It's just a slip-on brass cap that runs about $5 and is removable.
