Use the inline isolators.
Get a thermometer and adjust the temperature with an allen key until you hit 41°C. (Recommended temperature to prevent scalding)
The bigger ones have mesh filters in them to catch crud but that doesn't look like it has them.
Edit: Might be in the end of the hot and cold arms where they enter the main body though.

Pipesmiths! I need a little guidance...
So, hot water on bath is rubbish, no issue with boiler, immersion or anything else so the issue is with the blending valve. Presumably gunked up and in need of a clean/adjustment.
Have watched a video on the subject and all seems relatively straightforward. I can adjust the valve but the consensus seems to be to dismantle and clean the blending valve instead of adjusting...
My main issue is should I turn off the hot and cold at the mains or is just turning the inline valves under the bath good enough in this case?
