Can landlord use this against me?

Please help, I am a bit anxious.

I am in my second month of Takeover tenancy in England. The bathroom has plumbing issues with shower and washbasin. The landlord and plumber visited twice and did some superficial stuff but it didn't solve, so they recently decided to do an inspection on last Friday, asking me suitable time in email, to which I replied saying after 5 pm. But they came in the morning and at that time my washbasin wasn't clean (because of the plumbing issues it is not being flush and I clean it once a week). He said this is not normal and took a pic.

Later I explained him the situation and cleaned it quickly, and told him I had to do this every 3-4 days as I can't do it everyday. Then later they understood the plumbing for washbasin and shower is very bad and they decided to replace the whole bathroom and said I'll be put in a hotel for a few days (as there'll be no bathroom).

My question is that those pics are useless now as they are changing the whole bathroom, right? Also as this is an issue since before I am here, they won't attempt to deduct anything from the deposit I hope? Please help me.

To add to this, I am actually considering to break the tenancy (agreement is until September 12th, but the RRA allows me to give a notice on May 12 and I can leave on July 12). I haven't told the landlord yet, but I am actually now considering to ask for an early exit saying I'd leave in a week-ish and he can later remodel the bathroom and rent it for a bit higher later, so that it sounds mutually beneficial (I guess). What do people think about the chances? Has anyone been in this situation? (Rent is 700 pcm + council tax is 100pcm).
