We are planning to build a tub surround to drop in a whirlpool bath, I would like to tile the entire surround, (top and sides) but I am unsure how to create an access panel to the whirlpool motor (just in case!) The husband says just seal it up and hope we never need to access it, but I think it will probably break down as soon as the grout is dry!! Any ideas would be much appreciated. :confused:

Better check your local building code. In most areas pump access is required. My acess is a removable panel in an adjacent hallway.
