Some more stupid questions.
I'm thinking about different ideas for a bathroom remodel and I want to swap the taps to the other end of the bath and mount them and the shower on the wall. My idea is to box in the area from the top of the bath to the ceiling to put the plumbing in, because the existing wall isn't hollow. I'd also like to move the condensate drain from the boiler into this boxing, as it currently runs through a pipe on the wall behind the bedroom door.
Would 6cm or so be enough clearance to mount the taps etc. there in the first place? If not I would have to change to having a 1500mm bath instead of the 1600mm, unless I can find one in an in-between size. The current one is 1575mm but so far the only ones I've found in that length are the L-shaped shower baths, which I don't think will work unless we move the radiator.
My husband is worried that my boxing idea would put the plumbing too close to the electrical stuff on the other side of the walls. There is some surface mounted conduit and a light switch on the wall in the hallway, and a wall-mounted outlet near the floor in the bedroom on the other. I made a quick scaled drawing to show my idea. The distance between the approximate place where the plumbing would go and the conduit is 22cm, and to the outlet is 27cm. The existing wall between the bath and the outlet is approximately 10cm thick.
Is this whole idea totally stupid or pointlessly complicated? Does the location of the existing drain and electrical stuff make this a non-starter? Or can you have the drain and the taps at opposite ends?
