My husband thought that I had bought a roman tub faucet for our new jacuzzi tub, but I bought a wall mount. The roman tub faucet just don't have enough room. So now I have three pretty little holes in the corner of my tub! Any idea of how to cover it? Does Jacuzzi sell a 'corner plate' or something? If not any other ideas? I don't want a 'hole-y' tub! Thanks!

You did not say what the tub was made of, but most are fiberglass. It is possible to also patch fiberglass, then add gel coat over the spot (boat repairs are done this way). You can get all the stuff you need from a marine supplier or boat dealer. They also have coloring kits to match colors other than white. You might also build up the area in that corner as a small step up with the fiberglass then use it for decoration.
I have patch a few holes in fiberglass tubs, even matching off white colors. Good luck!
The chrome caps will work fine also if you can deal with that fix.

Installing an overmount sink - the common type of sink that rests above the countertop - might seem like an intimidating task. But the reality is if you can draw lines using a template, cut with a saber saw and use an ordinary or even a Crescent wrench, you can likely install a sink. If you are installing a new sink, you will need to decide on the shape and material for the new sink. Kitchen sinks come in all kinds of designs - single bowl, double bowl and even triple bowl - as well as many different materials, such as stainless steel or enamel.
I suggest these 2 sites where they offer high quality sinks and faucets for kitchen and bath. I believe they are having free shipping promotion at the moment.

Easier to fix the wall than the tub. Go for a 3 hole tap set and cover up the wall. Just get a tapset that fits the holes.

Im particular Delta did no longer nook the industry on the sole 3 hollow roman faucet in existence. circulate to a Lowe's save, tell them your concern. the human beings are very knowledgable. there are various faucets accessible that are merely as stable and plenty greater low priced than a Delta. so some distance as i'm in touch, if the faucet suits the holes on your tub, than you have have been given the final faucet.

There are snap in and bolt on the back chrome disks for filling these holes, if that is acceptable to you. If you want no leakage, you could glue them in with Marine Goop after cleaning all the surfaces. You might get PVC sheet (used for shower liners) or Formica or other laminate cut to shape and glue that down - gives you a color choice.

Hey,
You really want to consider getting a pro. I know the whole do it yourself thing but on this one maybe you want to call a professional tub repairman, they can really fix it to match and no leaks.
Last thing you want is to worry about is water leaking and messing up the whole job. Job est. around $150.00
Good Luck.

Use your imagination, surely you could just put something in that spot. Sea shells, or a drink holder. Think of something decorative.
