ᐅ Water Connection Installed Incorrectly – Is There a Right to Rectification from the General Contractor?

Hello dear building experts,
we are currently building our house with a general contractor. Now, the plumbing subcontractor did not install the pipes according to our bathroom plan; specifically, they are not centered for a 60 cm (24 inch) washbasin. The problem is that I specifically bought a designer trap, which now cannot be installed. Instead, an unattractive and also crooked trap was used. Since the tiling is already done, correcting this would be a major effort.
What is my legal position here? Can I demand remediation from the general contractor because the shop drawings clearly show a 60 cm (24 inch) washbasin, or can the general contractor claim that the effort required would be disproportionately high, meaning I have to accept it as is?
Many thanks in advance!

It doesn’t matter. Even with a warranty, this visual flaw is unfortunately not worth much. Are you talking about the sink? Even a nice trap can’t fix the sink anymore.

Bookstar is the height of arrogance. Such a sink is installed in millions of apartments.
I find the showing off by some members in this forum disgusting. Poorly raised, the saying about old and new money still holds true. Come on, you can only see the underside anyway. Relax, Karsten. It’s just a sink, just like the trap.
I don’t understand why some spend 20, 30, 40 thousand euros on bathrooms. To me, the bathroom is just as important as my guest room in the basement.
