poundesville 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2012 i see your drawing, i do not think u can hack a hold thru the glass base..it wil definitely damage or shatter the glass panel.you could be right. but the drawing is not too scale and i don't know how "deep" the glass is inside the base. Moreover the water pipe is pretty small. Nonetheless, if contractor says can't, then i'll go the vertical route. It's not too pretty but it could work.Otherwise, hack the fake wall .... I guess what I need now is some good plumber/contractor to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best is to either remove the wall or just like you mentioned do the vertical way. Is this an air con drainage piping ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this an air con drainage piping ?One contractor that saw this few years back (when the leak was so small) is the one propose to drill into the based of that glass wall. He believes the issue is on the ceramic that will be cracked and I don't have the original one to replace them.And this is water pipe.. the pipe leads into my water heater and then to shower head.

poundesville 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Since Pipe is exposed, why don't lay them on top [not on the floor]I'm not exactly following your suggestion, but thanks. Actually there is another alternative. I just realize it after getting feedback here that it's risky to drill at the bottom of the glass panel. The path gets longer and the pipe is exposed more (it's uglier) to the naked eyes.I need some contractor to quote me a reasonable price for this - then I believe he/she could assess it better than my drawing ..
