wrote:

Am replacing a washer in a leaky bathtub faucet, and in getting in
there, the escutcheon is no longer tight to the wall. How was it held
on there to begin with? It has no screws, it was just snug to the wall.
Is there glue or something? Or did I not put things back properly if
it's not being held to the wall?

Thanks,

Steve

Some are mereley a friction fit around the stem hardware.
There were dozens of different schemes depending on mfr.
If all else fails, get out the silicone caulk.
