Extend bath tap and install wall-mounted tap

Klaudia the problem with the loose taps is because the bath is plastic! The best solution is to replace it with a steel bath and then the existing taps will be secured solidly. Your plans for relocating the pipes up the wall is too much work especially for the small budget.

@Pavel D. I’ve looked more closely and confirmed that the wall behind the tiles is concrete, so it should be able to support an externally mounted faucet securely. The photo also shows that the wooden support under the bathtub is rotten, which explains why the current faucet is tilting forward — so simply fixing or sealing the existing setup won’t be reliable long-term. What I’m thinking is a practical solution using the existing pipes under the bathtub: Extend the pipes upward from under the tub Bring them out through drilled tile holes Secure the faucet directly to the concrete wall Keep the exposed connections neat and fully sealed (with proper covers/escutcheons) I understand this would be an external installation rather than a fully concealed wall-mounted system, and I’m fine with that. My priority is a solid, safe fixing to the wall and a tidy appearance, without removing tiles or rebuilding the wall. From your experience, does this sound like a feasible and reliable approach given the current condition?

@Klaudia B. The solution you are describing would not be reliable. It is technically possible to raise the faucet, but it is very complex because it requires changing the bathtub and plumbing configuration. If you are looking for a budget-friendly option, the most practical solution is to properly secure the existing faucet, seal all openings with bathroom-grade silicone, and make sure everything is firmly fixed and watertight. I can do this and make it much more reliable than it is now. Converting this setup to a wall-mounted faucet requires permanently closing the holes in the bathtub and properly anchoring the plumbing inside the wall. The main challenge is not closing the holes, but ensuring the faucet is securely fixed to the wall to withstand regular use. Without proper wall anchoring, the fixture will eventually loosen, break, and cause leaks. To do this correctly, the tiles must be removed, the water outlets fixed inside the wall with mortar, and only then a new wall-mounted faucet can be installed. There is no safe alternative without doing this work. You are welcome to choose the option that works best for you. I am happy to help by properly fixing and sealing the existing setup so it works well and does not leak. Other options would involve a significantly higher budget and no guarantee of long-term reliability.

@Pavel D. I have placed additional photo, please take a look, I want have it a bit more pretty when it comes out of the bath if possible

@Pavel D. yup, what u said is actually exactly what i want. Not even planning to drill through the wall ;)

@Klaudia B. Before confirming the job, I’d like to better understand your expectations. Could you please send more photos, especially of the pipes under the bathtub and the area where you want the tap to be mounted on the wall? I also want to understand how you imagine the wall outlet being done. To do this properly and according to standard practice, the wall tiles would need to be partially removed, the bathtub likely taken out, the pipes extended and fixed inside the wall, and then the wall and tiles restored before installing the tap. This is a much larger scope of work than just drilling tiles. For the budget mentioned, that full solution would unfortunately not be possible. There is an alternative option: using the existing pipes under the bath, extending them with proper connectors, bringing them out through drilled tile holes, mounting the tap on the wall, and covering the exposed connections with a small protective cover, fully sealed with silicone. This avoids removing tiles, but it is more of a practical workaround rather than a perfect long-term solution. Once I see the photos, I can advise what option makes the most sense, or whether reinforcing the existing setup might be a better idea. I speak Polish well, so if you are from Poland, we can most likely come to an agreement. Let me know ????

@Pavel D. sure,we could preorder it online too. I think sometimes it is diffucult to buy those exact things in stores

@Pavel D. Hi, have u done thisbbrfore? Do you have the parts we need?
