We have a tub/shower combo faucet that I would like to replace. It's like this one, http://mobilehomepartsstore.com/Merchan ... ry_Code=BF. It's one of the last "mobile home" faucets left that we haven't already replaced. We have been looking for a "real" faucet to replace it with but haven't had to much luck because of how the two knobs and tub faucet are built in together. The round style faucets won't work because the plate isn't big enough to cover the current holes. I'm not worried if I have to change the plumbing to make it work but don't really want to change the whole shower surround. They make a limited selection of knobs and tub faucet combos but not many. Just wondering if anyone has any other ideas or options for us. Thanks
Menards has a few options for you. I was thinking about doing the same thing to my tub, but decided not to. They do make a round panel large enough to cover the 3 separate holes and convert to a single handle style.
I couldnt find the link on their site, but here is what it looks like:

They also have 3 or so options for double handle if i remember correctly. One is really cheap plastic and the others are pretty expensive moen.

Thanks for the links KL. We saw the couple of double handle options menards had. Weren't overly impressed but may be our only option and as long as it's a quality faucet I can live with it, just have to convince the boss that quality is more important then looks! I really like those plates you linked to. The only problem is we have a "triple" handle setup, two handles and the tub faucet in the middle of them. I think the plate would cover what is there now but I don't think there would be room to put the tub faucet below the plate the way our tub is shaped. We'll have to do some thinking but that plate opens up a few new options. Thank you.
