Swap shower cubicle with bath-shower

[Chrisl645]

Hi all.

I've just moved house and want to take out the corner shower cubicle and change to a bath with overhead shower, just wondering how much of a pain is it? I would assume there has been a bath in there at some point as its not a new build, I guess I'd have to take off tiles along the shower line to find where the bath taps used to be? My plan is to then use the plastic wall panels all round so not too concerned about ruining tiles and replace sink and toilet the room is only 2m x 1.7 but the wife need a bath
Thanks

Do what i did.
I left the thermostatic bar where it was and fitted a bath with no holes.
Was taking the boss a whole 3 minutes extra to fill the bath but that was the compromise.
When kids grew up we didn't need the bath anymore, so i removed it, cleaned the tiles of the silicone and fitted a shower tray.
No work on the pipes.
