Mike is right - getting behind the tub faucets is inconvenient. But it is not hard, if you are at all "handy". At the faucet end of the tub, a couple/three screws hold the whole square box assembly (containing the faucets and the hose connector) to the wall. If you back out these screws, and cut the caulking with a sharp knife, the whole box thing pulls away from the wall. I know this because I had a problem with the plumbing to the outdoor shower, and this is where it all connects. Once it is pulled away from the wall, you can see the whole assembly and all the connections. Clearances are tight, but manageable.

I was in an RV store today, and saw a replacement faucet set that looked identical. There are some stainless-steel worm-type hose clamps, a hose in a separate plastic bag - but it all looked pretty straighforward. And of course, get some good caulk for when you reassemble.
