I recently fitted my en-suite and fitted a concealed Grohe 3000 Cosmopolitan thermostat, I backed it onto the airing cuboard so I have rear access to maintain and tighten all the connections if necessary.
I'm now fitting out the bathroom, however can't back this onto another room or airing cupboard, instead there is boxing in which the soil pipe and stack runs across the back wall from the toilet and floor to ceiling for the stack at the tap end of the bath. Would be perfect for boxing in the Grohe Cosmo thermostat and hiding it away, however once I've tiled it over the only access I can get is from the side, with a removable access panel.
Concerned that access will be very difficult even from the right hand side of the thermostat boxing, as its only about 20cm deep.
Below is the photo of the boxing to which I want to install the thermostat behind:

Any advice how I could improve access to shower thermostat when it doesn't back onto another room and access is restricted from the side, is there any specialist product out there to help me out which I don't know about?
