Can I add shower to the bath taps?

My new house has one bathtub. There is no shower on the top of bathtub. Both hot and water flow through one outlet into the bath tub.
I want to add the shower. Can I connect the shower hose to the water/cold water tap outlet?

Yes you can add a mixer bar from the same pipes under the bath or add new but it can go over the bath yes.

You buy a bath tap mixer with a shower hose outlet and a shower set

there are some Monoblock shower Tap Mixers out there - just change the single use bath tap for one of them. here's one Half price - https://www.qssupplies.co.uk/bathroom-furniture-shower-taps/142610.htm

Yes you can, however you will need to replace your bath taps with shower mixer taps, thanks matt
