You may be able to get by with just replacing the cartridges or washers in the handles depending on where you leak is coming from. If you have to replace the whole faucet you will probably have to cut a hole in the wall in the adjoining room to access it. That is what I need to do to replace mine. I just haven't built up the courage. The hole can be covered by an access panel available at most big box stores if you have to go that route.

  You should be able to access them from the front by taking the handles off.

1ST YOU NEED TO ID THE MFG.. SHOULD BE A MAKE MODEL ON THE FAUCET SOMEWHERE. ONCE ID'D LOOK ON NET FOR DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS, EITHER A CARTLIDGE OR WASHERS & SEATS, DEPENDING ON MFG/ MODEL
