Also remember you do need one of those pipe finder devices as Spanish plumbing is nothing like UK, in UK you would expect pipes to go vertical from the floor to the appliance, in Spain they can go at all and any angles, and change mid wall, we had A leak in the wall, and the plumber had to search for the pipe to find the leak, so there was a fair amount of replastering as the leak wasn't at the point water was coming through the wall it was some feet away.

Thanks everyone one full the great advice
