Bollocks ; this is where the limit of human knowledge and ability strive If you say had a bit of spare glass you could drill two holes in it and have that as the back plate.

Onoff Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Would plastic trouser shims be no good for this? https://www.screwfix.com/p/broadfix-assorted-plastic-shims-medium-200-pcs/80408? Easy to cut, waterproof. You can glue them together with mitre bond to get them thicker. Thickest in that pack is 10mm btw. Thank God for long nose pliers eh?

markc Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I use those shims for just about anything that needs a packer under it. Great for setting door and drawer gaps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then check with a mock up of your actual wall finish that the valve is recessed the correct amount. Quick question - would it be a good idea or wrong to fit the valve after the wall is finished, from the back, ie next door room which is stud wall neighbour to the bathroom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - if you have access from the back then it makes life much easier as the tile holes can be much smaller and you can adjust accordingly.
