Old bathroom fixtures
Short of cutting the drywall to remove the fixtures, can anything be done to change the color while still attached to the wall? I want to do white from the tan current color.
These are the toilet paper holder, towel rack, and soap dish fixtures - I think porcelain - old style material.
I would attach a photo but I don’t see any links to do so.

Here is the caulk trick:
Here is the Rustoleum product I was referring to: https://www.rustoleum.com/prod...
It is an epoxy and it can be used on those old built-in porcelain toilet-paper, soap, and towel holders. An older contractor I know that used to do tub refinishing for Section 8 housing in Steubenville Ohio swears by it and did hundreds of jobs over the years for the housing authority there with it. Personally I suck at apply products that require such care for a good finish, I would rather spend $600 on a new tub and surround. "A little caulk and a little paint makes a carpenter what he ain't!"
