Can you return the tub? We are getting the Mirolin Azzura Azul tub and considered returning it for the smaller Azzurra Merro, the supplier would let us return it with a 25% restocking fee, ouch!!!! Considering they still have it as the plumbing company hasn't picked it up yet. The Merro is similar to your tub but has the deck mounting option. Or you could talk to a plumber to see what your options are and if you can use free standing faucet which also can be pricey to install and buy.

rmsaustin, This is a new construction home. I had the plumber check the pressure awhile back and it was well over 60. If I'm not mistaken it may have been 80+. MizzGG & OutsidePlaying, I am thinking of going with the Arzo. It will be centered as shown in the picture below. I may also have to use the Delta faucet pictured below for the vessel sinks as my plumber has some apprehensions of using the Kraus vessel faucets (pictured above) that I originally picked out. The plumber's concern is that the incoming supply lines to the faucet are only sealed by two rubber O-rings. I guess this is a different setup than Delta, Moen and other big name manufacturers use to seal the supply lines. He had a faucet with a single o-ring supply line connection fail a customer's house and caused thousands of dollars worth of damage. Since then, that design has left a bad taste in his mouth.

I think they go very nicely together. I would just stick to chrome because other finishes can be so different depending on manufacturer.

You can’t change out a valve without access to the valve. That means an access panel. If the tub faucet is Pfister, it may be possible to change out the trim with a different Pfister trim. But not a Delta trim. This is often the nail in the horseshoe that brings down the whole country. One thing leads to another, and the next thing you know, you’re in the middle of a full gut remodel without having planned to be. So, start planning that full gut remodel now so that when something behind he wall or below the inaccessible tub starts to leak, you have a plan in place and aren’t trying to be reactive and that inefficient in your responses. Plan access panels for both tub and shower into your remodel.
