Does anybody have some good ideas on how to make a tiled access panel for underneath a whirlpool tub? I'm installing the type that fits in a corner. It has a pump on both of the exposed "sides" and the faucets on the "front". I'm sure sooner or later I'll need to get in there for something.

Thanks

Pete

Pete,

I think these will help you, you may find this to be the best way and still do your tiling the way you want it.

If the corners are up against a wall of a large vanity, I have made access thru these and this is usually accommodating for any repair. If you have a closet on one side, same application would work.

Depending on what you are getting, brand, the below links should help. I am assuming that this is a drop in unit?
