I'm having a new bathroom and my girlfriends step-dad is helping me fit it all. He wants to build a stud wall to hide the hot and cold feeds for the mixer unit but I'd rather have those pipes in the existing brick wall to avoid the need for the stud wall. He says it can't be done because when the tiles are on the wall, there won't be enough depth to connect the pipes to the mixer... ? The wall is just brick and plaster, I don't understand why it can't be chiseled out to house the pipes.
His explanation doesn't make sense to me so I hope someone here can shed some light on it.
