We have a Victorian bath that the previous owners removed the claw type feet and used bricks and cement to build two stands for the bath to rest on. The cement around the bricks is rough and needs to be decorated in some way. They have cemented the bath in quite securely else we would remove the bath, fit legs onto it and put it back. Any ideas of how we could decorate the cement to improve the look? Maybe cement river stones?

In Victorian times some vintage baths had enclosures. Could you put one up around yours? Or could you put decorative plaster coloumns underneath to mask the brick, and paint the brick white? I like the idea of river stones - but you would have to have a LOT of them...
What about seashells? I really can't picture what your tub looks like but could you hide the cement with potted plants? Plants that thrive in damp places like baby's tears, maidenhair ferns, or African violets?
what about wrought iron decore. wrought iron comes in so many shapes and designs. Most of the time its black but I had a small spiral staircase once that was for potted plants that set on each step. I spray painted it white and used the steps to set candles on for my bathroom. You could search ebay just put in the key words wrought iron. You'll more than likely see lots os sizes & designs that might fit around your problem area to camoflauge it beautifully. And wrought iron goes with that victorion look so well.
You could also use tile, if you have tile in your bathroom. If the cement is too small an area for tile, you could break the tile in pieces and cement them on in a mosaic style.
How about a cloth skirt around the tub, whole thing?
