Anyone know what holds these things in place? There is no visible hardware
of any kind. Grout behind the edge of the fixture, maybe?

And, should I be able to find ceramic replacements so I don't have to hack
the surrounding tiles?

the rotating piece should pull or lift out, and no a drop in ceramic
substitution is probably not available

might get the existing one re chromed

What rotating piece?

As far as re-chroming, no. These things are ugly.

===========

I know the kind you mean, but this one's just what you see. Might've had a
plastic insert for soap at one time, but I never saw it. The only clue I
have is that the front edge thing at the bottom seems to be a separate piece
from the main body. I don't know why they'd do that unless it was supposed
to be removable to reveal hardware behind it or something.
