I'm a newbie to the post part, but have been using this site as a reference for preping and installing a new new ceramic tile in an old bathrom that has been torn out.
After the tear out was completed, I hired a plumber to intall a new Am Std (Model 1041.229.099) shower/bath fixture. I was not at home when it was installed and never thought to ask a question about the position of the roughed in fixture since installation directions were with the fixture I've temporarily installed the worderboad and shimed it out so that it's level with the exisiting walls. However, I've noticed that there's about a 1/2" gap (estimate) between what will be the finished ceramic tile wall and the back of the escutcheon. I've not pemanently installed anything (other than the fixture). Is there anything such as a filler that can be bought that will fill this space or must the plumber reinstall the fixture?
Thanks.
