How much do you need a removable box for pipes in the bathroom?

Good day! We make repairs in the bathroom, the house is old, the bathroom is combined. Opinions were divided - some say that because the house is old and if pipes leak and it is necessary to change something, then they will force me to remove all the tiles to give access to the pipes. Another opinion is that through a hatch of 250 × 300 and raised tiles below 200 × 600, everything can be replaced and eliminated (for example, a water leak). Tell me which is better?

I enclose the photo, put the hatch at the moment, but also not right - it does not open.

    Good afternoon, Alexandra.

    As far as I can tell from the photograph, the pipes were replaced with ecoplast, so the chance of leakage is almost zero. To do at this stage the dismantling of the entire tile will result in quite a lot of money, I see no reason to consider such an option. Access to the meter is open, if the dimensions of the hatch allow it to be removed for periodic verification, then it makes no sense to expand, to put it mildly. If the opposite is impossible to remove, it is better to expand now.

    Bottom of the photo, two tiles are dismantled one above the other in size 200 * 200. Practicality in this solution is not observed. What's the point of this? The lowest opens a view of the turn of 90 degrees. You see it, and what's next? To dismantle and re-solder in case of leakage that does not occur, still does not work with such a small hole. Feel free to close the tiles and forget. The next hole from the bottom 200 * 200, also will not allow repairs, which again is unlikely. Cover the hole with tiles.

    Now we approach the non-opening hatch. Judging by the fact that it is open, I suppose it meant that it does not close as we would like. Based on how the tile was laid on the left, it was not originally planned otherwise there would be no 60 * 200 trimmings. That is the problem. Opening hatches should be planned at the stage of installation of the profile and plastering.

    You can get out of the situation with the least financial loss by using blinds or blinds. For clarity, how it looks in practice, two photos. If you decide to install the blinds as guides, use a cut cable channel. The color shades of the blinds are at least 50 pieces. You can easily choose harmoniously combined with your tile: ivory or milk, which is more suitable.It will cost 200-400 rubles.
