I have to ask, the Hot and cold feeds coming from under the floor ... where do they come from? do they turn left or right under the floor somewhere? Or are they straight along to that right hand stud wall?
Isolation valves for basin and cistern

The original pipes were under the floor board and head straight towards the back wall. I assume they come from the kitchen and cloakroom. This is their final stop.
I’ve used the hep elbows on these and set out pipe work for the new bathroom accordingly

As it looks like 1500 or 1600 tub I think I would have had the valves 90° from where you have them, they'll be tight to the sloping bath end there if they ever need removing.
Just an observation, with valves one end an taps/waste the other, the front panel will need to be easily removable or two removable ends? also are supply pipes high in relation to bottom of taps making more difficult to get smooth run on flexible tails? Mind Im told Im fussy,something to do with being a Virgo
What waste are you going to use?

Thanks @lostinthelight. It's always helpful to have these suggestions as it means I can improve and progress
Here are pics with the bath in place.

Looking ok @Jupiter01 but to keep it looking good, isolate those feeds, take the flexi's apart and take the PTFE tape off of the threads. If using it at all, only around the olive
You are on mains hot and cold aren't you?

a thread sealing compound? Boss white or similar? If it's all new it doesn't need anything like that.
You only really need a thread compound if you are connecting male fittings into female fittings/tappings, where the seal is made at the threads. Like an outside tap into a wall plate.

Not problematic no, just not needed really and a bit of a mess if things need changed.
