These are all good ideas, John, thanks. There is a little leeway with
the holes. They need to be about 52mm for the mechanical parts of the
tap to clear, but the escutcheons for the spout and tap lever are 68mm.

With that amount, you may be able to simply chain drill round the
periphery of the hole and tidy up with a file. I did this for the
pipework entrance to the back of my shower mixer and it worked quite well.

I suspect that a lot will depend on the tiles chosen by SWMBO

Indeed!
