• anyone ITT have strong opinions about hidden hardware for bathrooms? By this, I mean a built out section so just the tap/shower head etc are visible with piping etc neatly hidden.

    Obviously it looks great but is it awful for other reasons? Opinions wanted.

  • Obviously it looks great

    But then I specced tiles flush with the finished wall as I find the edge trims visually offensive, so my tastes are probably extreme.

  • I think it's a case of when, not if, things leak, so all pipes, connections etc should be accessible.

    But if you replace the bathroom before it leaks, then I guess it's irrelevant :)

    Edit: I don't consider myself In The Know so probably shouldn't have said anything.

  • like the idea myself but its no different to having pipes in the wall for CH (rads) etc- probably check the pipework and replace where needed
    consider access points - so if wall is studded out - little hatch and tile to look seamless
