Are you living in the house during renovation? Is your heat on? Wondering if the bathroom might be colder than the rest of the place?
yes im still living here heat set to 67F. the master bath isnt any colder than the rest of the house. do you think the pipes are at risk if i cant run the water?
Is your house modern? If so they might have individual shutoffs. Turn off the water that goes to your bathroom and open taps to release pressure. Open the cupboards under the sink will help and also nearby faucet drips.
Dude, if nothing works you might consider draining the whole system, especially if your pipes are in exterior walls. If your pipes are inside and your heat is on, you might be good. 
your pipes should be fine without running water just as your home is in heat and your master bathroom is not remarkably cooler than any part of the house, keep an eye on indoor temp
Heat tape could do some wonders with this problem, mate! Just drain the lines using it on exposed sections for added protections.
thank you very much for your help. draining the whole system seem like the best safety option especially for some of pipes are outside the walls.Dude, if nothing works you might consider draining the whole system, especially if your pipes are in exterior walls.

After the freezing weather, remember to check all of your pipes faucets and tubes for any damage. Make sure to double check them to lessen your future problems.
