Bath taps wall advice

[pgtips]

Hi,

Needing a steer please. Hose and taps on external wall side bath hose leaking, badly, taps ok but hose needs replacing.
Side taps and hose integrated, they look good but inaccessible to service/repair.

So what's the best route, bath out, replace with new bath with end taps, knock hole in external wall to get access or anything else anyone had success with,?

Wall is cavity as well.

Thanks in advance, always appreciate the help

Bath out

Unless it backs onto a cupboard where taking a section of a false wall wouldn't cause any problem then as suggested, it's bath out time.

I've actually done several of these on to external walls by cutting a 9in square hole out.
Needs someone inside as well but easy enough.
Rather than brick back up have filled inside leaf with a spare of kingspan then fitted a square aluminium soot door to give future access.
