Here’s what I’ve done in the past and will keep doing in the future. Since we’re already rebuilding everything anyway might as well just redo the entire floor.

Are PVC pipes like that common for water lines in the UK? In the US they’re illegal in some parts of the country and are typically seen as “not if but when” they’ll fail. I’ve seen them just randomly explode and dump full pressure water into somewhere.
Might be slightly different in the UK but the way they’re installed in the US is gluing the different CPVC pieces together. This is different than PEX which is the more modern method and is crimped water lines.

In the UK most/all kitchen and bathroom waste pipes are the white plastic. They have solvent weld and push fit options. 32 + 48 mm options (I think) Pressurised mains water is in copper or pex. The only law I remember is that you can’t put pex directly to your combi boiler - you have to have 6ft (?) of copper before any plastic push fit.

No water lines visible in the picture. Those are drain pipes and this is from Finland. Water lines are run with PEX inside the walls.
