Any option other than to dismantle the tiled wall, sort the problem and rep lace? We have matching tiles available, so is it feasible to just remove a handful of tiles to access the area? Tiles are onto waterproof plasterboa rd, so there should in theory be no damage to them.
THanks!

I have the same problem - what you suggest seem to be the way to go

Indeed, yes - sorry, poor choice of words as plasterboard by definition isn't waterproof!!
This is why I always specify surface-mounted.

With exposed pipework? I'm thanking myself that I at least specified shut off valves accessible from a hatch in the partition wall between the ensuit e and our bedroom otherwise stopping the leak would have been a more destru ctive temporary job!

Actually, it is surface mounted (bar type) - but it seems that the plumbers have put some sort of extension as the screw mounts did not protrude enoug h when the wall was tiled.

Yes, if at all possible. Drop the pipes down from the ceiling.
