Not piped vertically from under the bath? Any isolators anywhere?
I'd dig into that plaster and see what the actual setup in there is
Grumpy_Git-
It's actually a sink not a bath. There is a mixer shower on the other side of the wall, so based on plaster/which tiles sound less solid behind them my presumption is something like this, with the hot and cold feed running inside the wall to both.
It’s a utility and will be used as such, so hoping to DIY it and get it usable rather than throw money at it, but looks like most of the tiles are at least going to have to come off. Probably a weekend job not a spur of the moment Monday evening one..
@Kurai has sent me an excellent diagram should this be the case.

What are my options for a 'normal' tap here? Current taps aren’t even at the same height, otherwise I’d have considered re-tiling and living with them.
Hack away (chisel?) plaster around current copper fittings/pipe, but then what? I've fitted taps to existing copper pipe behind sinks etc with tails, but what happens in a solid wall?
