Question about studded walls in bathrooms
Studded walls in bathrooms-
Just working out whether to stud out the external wall on the bathroom. Otherwise on our single brick wall will be mounted a vanity, a cabinet with LED lights? And a shower where I have to find a tap for the bath and a pipe leading up to the shower from it and wall mount it. My partner doesn’t seem to want to lose the space – the wall will only take out a few inches from a custom cupboard at the other end of the bath. Is it just a good idea overall to stud for not only the fittings, but also for insulation?

My shower head is on external wall, – mixer (which needs a bit more space) is at the other end of the bath so it’s just one skinny pipe that runs up to the shower head and fits in the depth of standard dot&dab plasterboard. Did not need any building out of the wall.
Bath uses an overflow filler (on same controls as the shower) so no bath taps cluttering things
The need to build out the wall will depend on what type of shower mixer you want. Careful consideration and parts selection can avoid it, but maybe bring a different set of compromises.
I wanted easy access to the shower mixer without leaning around shower screen, so have this at head of the bath, mixed water then goes to the shower head and/or bath overflow filler.

Oh that’s cool, when we last installed the shower we got a digital shower that has controls outside the shower for the same reason..only the shower has broken a couple of times and not really worth it!! Can you tell me the brand of shower you are using?
