try a plumbers shop as it is a whirlpool tub
you state that it is a whirlpool tub then you say don't know what brand of tub it is
whirlpool is a brand name
any way the plumbers display of bathroom units and tubs will help you as the jets used are generic and not specific for the tub
The problem is likely the hoses behind the jets. It depends how much of a fix you want and if you intend to use the jets at a later date? If you gave the bath a good clean, you could stick duct tape over the jets as a temporary solution. If you want to use the jets again, filling them with silicone will make that impossible.
One other solution would be to make an inspection hatch in the ceiling of the living room and fix it from underneath. Cut a neat hole in the drywall making sure that you are between the floor joists. Fix the tub and screw the drywall back in place to wooden blocks screwed to the side of the joists. Then put decorative molding to cover the cut lines. Paint the water damage with PVA Wood glue as a sealer, let it dry and then paint.
Hello,
You should be able to remove the access panel and just disconnect, and cap the hose that is connected to the pump for the jets and then cap the pump nipple, where the hose connects.
This would likely be easier than trying to locate multiple caps to plug the jet holes in the tub.
I have worked on jetted tubs for 5 years and have yet seen a screw in plug replacement for the jet. It would be very expensive to fill the holes and refinish it. You may want to look into tub liners, they to are very expensive. I guess it depends on how long you plan to live in that house. If they are not leaking just use it as a tub and don't use the jets.
