Plumber or electrician?

chompers

I am wanting to replace my bath and electric shower and OH will be doing as much of it as he can but.....

the current electric shower was fitted some time after what is still the original bath and the pipe which supplies water to the shower just runs out from under the bath and up the wall.

when the new shower is fitted i would like this pipe to be hidden? i am not sure if it can be inside the wall or would need to be boxed in somehow?

would this be a job for a plumber or is there an easy way that i haven't thought of?

If the wall is stud wall possibly run it inside. Consider running it down from the rising main, prob in the loft. Hard to say without more info.

You need a plumber with a Part P certificate!

If any fixed electrical is being replaced with like for like in a Special Location there is no need for Part P and notification to the BCO. A sparks will look at you very askance if you ask him to reinstall the plumbing arrangements.

Incorrect.

You do not need Part P to replace an electric shower unless the OP increases the KWs in which case the wiring will have to be checked or replaced.
