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. Just thinking it'd show off the care and attention that went into cutting those tiles...back board...

Would plastic trouser shims be no good for this?

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?

I use those shims for just about anything that needs a packer under it. Great for setting door and drawer gaps etc.

The message from this thread to any casual viewers is to decide exactly an you wall finish BEFORE you mount the shower valves. 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?

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.

Great, thank you ?
