Inaccessible plumbing

[Goldspoon]

Fitting a bath into a space where three sides of the bath and the front panel are walled in followed by tiling (large expensive). Taps are going in the middle of the length (rather than width). This means that, after tiling, the taps will be inaccessible for any maintenance from below the bath without removing many tiles and also removing the bath. I realise one can use soldered copper throughout for piece of mind but a tap connector might fail (washer...). Anyone brave enough to use push-fit around the back of the bath?

This is also a whirlpool bath so a leak could theoretically spring from one of the inaccessible bubble holes...

I wondered what you guys think about such inaccessibility?

Buying wet plumbing items which cannot be accessed when the inevitable leak occurs is a backward step in human development.
