Changing bath tap ends

[doinmybest]

Hi,

Just a quick one, I'm going to replace my bath and I want to put in one of the P shaped shower baths. In order to fit that in, the taps will need to be at the other end of the bath from where they are now. Am I ok to just run the hot/cold water and waste pipes under the length of the bath? it seems simplest because the bath side will hide and the floor is massive sheets of chipboard which aren't too easy to lift. Thanks in advance for your advice!!

The waste needs a fall of a couple of inches really.

And obviously room under the plugole for the trap. If necessary make a hole in the chipper. If there's a joist there you can use a trap with a joint in the middle, like at the yellow bit, so you gan go sideways.
The one on the right is a HepVo trap (and its special elbow) , which can get you out of trouble.

Water pipes can go where you like. 15 mm if off a combi. Plastic is easiest for this sort of application.
