The faucets and associated faucet structure of a bathtub assembly are mounted on a cover plate which is, in turn, hingably and slidably attached to a frame member which is secured to wall structure adjacent the normal location of the faucets. Flexible connecting lines extend between the faucet structure and water supply lines. To repair or replace the faucets and/or associated faucet structure, the plate member is first pulled away from the wall and then pivoted to allow access to the faucets and associated faucet structures.
