wall mounted bath taps

[mr blue]

I want to buy some wall mounted bath taps including shower attachment. Is there any guidance as to the type and is there a problem in building the pipework into the brick wall?

I just had one fitted in my new bathroom.I had brought it back from the mainland. Looks neat. I saw that they are actually sold on Ebay for approx £30.00. The plumber who fitted mine just had to cut out the wall a bit deeper and mounted the tap on two specialwhatsits which I had to buy seperately. Pipes went in underneath and job done.

These things (backplate elbows) come in handy, but it's often not a nice job trying to get a fixing in broken brickwork!

Could you tell me or describe what the speacialwhatsits were because I am having difficulty holding up the wall mounted taps scecurly.
