You have the hot water line that has a draft or is exposed more than your other hot water lines. Running water in the tub will not help,the line is frozen not your tub.





You should have an access panel to the backside of the tub open it and you will see why.





If no access panel do you have a crawl space under the house in that area? if so you will need to insulate that line. It should work.





Try leaving the hot water line drip that is the farthermost away from the hot water heater, that way water will have to flow through all of the line and it is less likely o freeze.Hot water in bathtub is froze but have hot water in kitchen and even going throu washer ?
Your pipes are being exposed to extreme cold in the wall or below the floor. Get a portable electric heater, place near the pipes 8-10'; away....be careful of combustible materials like insulation %26amp; raw wood.......leave heat going 6-12 hrs.....keep checking the faucet.....it WIL THAW SOON! In the spring....SELL the hot tub....I did and we are happier now. SMILES from Michigan! :-)
Do you heat the bathroom?





It is probably because the pipes in that area of your house are more exposed to the outdoors. Either you could soften your water with salt or you will need to turn the heat up in your house.





P.S. you could always put a space heater in your basement near the pipes if you know where they are
turn your heat up, look for access panel to faucet supply lines. if so place space heater up close to pipes. if you have a basement, locate and warm supply lines.run the hot and cold at all faucets at a fine stream. do not wait for the pipe might burst.
hot water freezes faster than cold. use salt
