How do you fit wall mounted bathroom taps?? We plan to tile the wall they go onto as well?

Read the instructions carefully

And i presume your doing it onto a stud wall, otherwise your going to have some fun

Yep - stud wall, so I'm confident of connecting water supply but how do they stay on the wall? If like standard bath taps they screw from underneath... do wall mounted screw from wall side??

I built an 18mm playwood box frame that the pipes etc go in and then used 15mm copper screw on straps to hold the pipes in place.

When I came to do the tiling I wrapped the tiles in cling film before sticking them to the wall with tile adhesive and then once the tile adhesive was dry the tiles where then removed, cling film removed and then fixed to the wall just using the tile grout. This gave me a solid back thats exactly the right distance away from the wall to support the tile.

I used this on my Crosswater BASIN 3 HOLE SET as per:

So in future if I ever need to gain access I only need to worry about removing the tile grout.

Looks a very neat job !
