How difficult would it be to repair this? I am afraid of water getting into the wall from this spot, it was like this when I bought the house. My kids have been using this tub to take baths but my daughter is old enough now to take a shower. I'm guessing this space is too huge to caulk up. I want to fix this before it becomes a real problem. I tried twisting the faucet but it doesn't move any closer to the wall. The facuet also drips indefinitely when turning off the water sometimes (not all the time). Sometimes you have to fidget with it (turn it on a bit, turn it off) before it will stop leaking, though I realize this is a separate problem. Also, it should be noted that the pipe that the facuet is attached to does not seem to be secure inside the wall. I can easily move it around. Your suggestions and advice would be appreciated. I am hoping this can all be repaired without having to open the wall, because it's a plastic faux tile shindig that surrounds the entire tub. Pics attached.
