My upstairs bathtub/shower is fiberglass. This is the kids bathroom; they must have hit or grabbed the tub spout and shifted it a bit. I recently noticed that there is now a space where the spout comes out of the fiberglass; in other words, the tub spout no longer sits flush against the back fiberglass wall. In fact, there is probably about 3/8" open space at the underside of the spout and a more narrow space on top.
Since this is an upstairs bathroom, I am concerned that water may splash back behind the tub and ruin the ceiling below.
Right now, I am trying to keep the crack filled with plumbers putty.
Is the plumber's putty a reasonable solution? Or does this sound like I need a plumber? Maybe a new tub spout?
Our fixtures are Delta brand; I can't find a screw or anyway to tighten the spout.
Thanks in advance for your help!
