Can anyone answer this plumbing related Q please?

[GeneralChaos1]

Can a shower like this be changed with minimal disruption or does the wall need to come down? Ours needs replacing but would be good if we could just get a new one and get a plumber to swap it over rather than anything too invasive!!

Yes it can be changed without removing the wall 👍

Minimal disruption (assuming no leaks). The water pipes stick out a bit from the wall and the plumber (or even you!) can attach a new shower riser.

The only potential difficulty would be if the new shower riser doesn't match the exact same dimensions of the existing ones, so you'd have to choose carefully.

Yep, you can do this

Thanks for the replies - that’s great news 👍🏻
