    Hi all,
    I would like to fit a bath tub to a bathroom that currently only has a shower. The supply to the shower, basin and toilet cistern is all 1/2 piping.
    Can I tap into the 1/2 inch pipes to supply the bath?
    TIA.

    Yes, it not a problem, except that it will take slightly longer to fill the bath.
    If there was a bath in place before the shower, have a look under the floorboards, the 3/4" supplies may still be nearby that you could reconnect to them.

    Great, thanks for the prompt reply.
    Unfortunately it is a disabled bathroom built in an extension for my parents, never had a bath so no 3/4 inch supply.
    Don't mind waiting a bit longer for the bath to fill!
