I bought a one piece tub surround from Lowe's. It did not come with anything to put in the corners. When you push the surround into the corners there is still gap at the top. Where can I get corner caps to fill the gap or what is the best way to install?

Hi Bamagirl...


They do not make caps for this situation! Drove me crazy on a couple I installed.

You could stuff insulation down inside the space, pack it tight and then fill this area with a couple layers of caulking (mildew resistant)... that should fill this and keep it pretty water tight... ;)

I have also made my own caps out of plastic material I found and then caulked them tight into the corner.

Just some ideas for you.
