March 2, 20206 yr I’ve got these nice stand pipes for the free standing bath taps . Due to bathroom re arrangements I can’t take the pipe feeds through the floor because of ufh . I *could* chop out the screed - find the ufh and drill holes for the pipes through that - but that might be asking for trouble !!!

March 31, 20206 yr Author Looked at this today . ummmm ‘d and ahhhhhh ‘d Don’t feel brave enough to break the screed avoiding ufh to get pipe work through - feels like a suicide mission . As the stand pipes are largely not visible with a bath in front - will just build a box so water pipes can enter from the back and never break through the floor .

In the same way that a barstool can be converted into a shower seat. It can be done, but requires some application and a major degree of bloodymindedness. Your adventures are just beginning. I bought taps designed for those basin-on-top washbowls, which turned out to look like Peter Crouch in a crowd of gymnasts when installed on a normal washbasin, and had to be put in storage for the next 3 kitchens I do.

F Think ‘box’ on the floor behind the bath is the solution . These are nice roper Rhodes taps - so not for a rental !! ?
March 31, 20206 yr The the floor mounted tap on a box might then look too high over the bath.........
April 21, 20206 yr Author Decided to go with the box approach . Assume the pipes are cutable to suit height of bath anyway ? CT1 timber to floor as ufh underneath . Some tees on hep20 so pipe can go up through stand pipes .
April 21, 20206 yr Author Ok - they’re not cut able as threaded both ends . Don’t understand how a water supply fits to this ...
April 21, 20206 yr Author Ah ! They supplied me ‘deck’ rather than pillar - no wonder I was confused !!
April 21, 20206 yr This is what I recognise as a floor standing bath filler. It screws to the floor with 2 flexi tails emerging from the bottom that are connected below. That would work with your little raised platform. You can't cut it to length, it is the length is is.

Yep I’m sure I’ve got the wrong tap set as there’s no flexi hoses or any way of connecting
