I agree with the above.The only way I think you could use those ones would be through some sort of shelf / plinth which will be somewhat tricky to make it not look rubbish with the resultant exposed pipe work.
Thinking outside the box you may be able to purchase alternative “legs” for those taps which might facilitate direct wall mounting, the key thing is having enough structural support so the taps are just hanging on the pipes.
Thanks. So the taps will be mounted on a stud wall...can I assume if they put a wooden support of some kind between the batons before they plaster board over it this will be sufficient for strength...?The big chrome nuts shown in the second picture are probably a standard thread size. If so you just need two straight pipes protruding horizontally from the wall and screwed onto your taps. They don't even have to be chrome - the nuts can be virtually flush with the wall so the pipes themselves are buried.
I'm sure I'd find something in my boxes of old pipes, dismantled taps etc if they were mine.
This all assumes that the wall is both solid enough to take the weight of someone occasionally hanging on the taps to heave themselves out of the bath, but also easy to hack a hole in so the pipes can be firmly embedded, with access to the back of the pipes of course for connection to the water feed pipes.
Yeah, when mounting on to a stud wall you'd either build a dedicated frame or install a noggin between the studs.Thanks.

I would agree, I would just get some free standing taps. I just got a new some wall mounted taps from plumbhq, if you do need to get some new ones!I think the parts on these taps are often interchangeable, I would rummage on FB marketplace for alternative wall mounted tails. You'll probably even find a proper wall mounted version for tuppence. My freestanding bath taps cost me £10, never used apparently.
