I'm redoing my bathroom and have chipboard down. 

 

I want to reroute existing Mains water feeds for the basin and it would involve removing enough to get to where it comes off existing 22MM pipe shown. 

 

Joist and joint line for one 600mm wide board is in blue.

 

What can I do to replace this section of floorboard based on it being under the stud at the moment? 

 

Also, I've gone through the existing board in another section with the SDS ripping tiles up, is this repairable with just cutting out and noggin it etc?

Cut along the red line, to leave the chipboard under the stud wall. 
 

Then put a piece of wood (18mm plywood or similar) under that existing flooring, wide enough to be 75mm under existing and 75mm on show, and screw / glue it by fixing down through the chipboard into the plywood to form a connecting ‘tongue’ of plywood. 
 

Then your new flooring will sit on that, which you then glue and screw down into, and job done.

Thanks Nick, I thought I'd be looking at doing that sort of arrangement. Would you take the full board out or do the same along the opposite side?

Same if the existing boards are ok. 
 

Maybe use the opportunity to put some fresh acoustic insulation in there. 
 

For my SiL’s house I put plywood inside the metal webs of the MF tracks to beef up the walls before plaster boarding.

 

Made the wall much stronger.
