Bathroom fitter or plumber? New taps or new bath?

Hi you are a bit unlucky being your taps are on an outside wall ? Ideally The bath would need to be removed to allow repairs... Realistically a new bath would need to be fitted as it can be very difficult to remove a bath with out some damaged ?.. I hope this answers your question Kind regards Keith

The best option here would be to remove the bath, replace the taps and use long flex pipes to reconnect them, try Screwfix for these. You will have to re-tile the area, and you could possible over tile, over your existing tiles, all depends. Good Luck!

Assuming the bath is walled in on three sides: it would have been fitted with flexible tap connectors this may allow the bath feet to be lowered a centimetre or so and the bath pulled out to access the connections to the taps. The other consideration is how the bath is fixed to the wall, a bracket at each end would allow lowering but if it has been stuck in place with silicone it is likely some tiles will be damaged getting it out. This is a needs to be seen to make a accurate call

I would have to survey this problem. There are a lot of things that need to be addressed. I. E wall thickness, how exesable are the tap feeds also the bath for removal, if necessary. Ect. David

Hi If your taps are actually mounted to the bath , then there is no reason a good plumber can’t change them. Although it can be tricky to remove taps that have annealed flexi hoses or piped connections it is possible with a tap spanner ( used purely to change taps in tight and awkward positions ) Hope this helps
