Wall Faucets In Order To Replace Bathtub Faucets (due To A Leak), Do You Have To Remove The Wall Behind The Faucet?

In most cases, no. You should be able to live only in a new Foucet and shower. The only reason for the wall will leave if this loss is not damaged.
To replace the unit completely to the fittings, a wall must be opened either before or behind the pipe. In most cases you can replace a portion of a water tap, and nothing but controls. It is cheaper and easier to make.
If you do not know where the leak, you better call a plumber and pay them to diagnose the problem, to begin dismantling walls. Especially if you do not know what you are doing, of course.
How useful are you? Can you solder? Moen sold replacement chrome 14 "oval plate, hiding its current 3-handle faucet can and should be installed with single lever faucet models.

If you are replacing the entire device, unless it is an access panel, a part of the wall behind the shower / toilet removed. If you have a wardrobe that's ok to do on a small cupboard, shelves, not to do so. I am surprised at this time of advanced construction techniques and models, many of the houses that a new bathroom / shower facility must be found, they have no other choice than the existing plaster wall to get a break sometimes, to the plumbing. If no panel is now constructing a time to get back together. You will not regret it.
If the leak through the nozzle and shower head, then you have a valve problem, which can probably be fixed without tearing out the wall. Most valves are available with seals or parts that are easily replaced by removing the valve.
If the leak is located behind the wall, then you probably have to shoot at the wall and replace everything. I live in a house in 1950. Most of us have private facilities which are adjacent to the wall of the housing area, and most of use have been withdrawn behind drywall to plumbing and put in door panels, so that we have access to sanitary facilities. It's better than beating the tiles on the bathroom side.
Good luck.

If I do understand your question, all you need to do is make a hole in the wall behind the faucet, but big enough to do the job.
You can to Home Depot and Lowe's or one of the centers of origin and access to a group of about 16 x 16 cm up after work, we can proceed to install access whenever necessary. Even if you buy the cover before opening the wall, you have a good idea of how big to make the opening. You have to do is behind the nozzle or shower head, if you want to change the height of the shower. The shower head is a standard feature, so that everything you do is unscrew the old, ask the new Teflon and the screws of the old days. For the tap, if you know how to solder, if you know what to do if you do not believe that a plumber. Or give him a chance is not so difficult to weld pipes. If you CPVC easier.
