If I change a section a copper to pex then my fixtures on the pex system will not be grounded?  Is that a problem .  Is there an electrical code covering that

Most houses today are plumbed with PEX.  Theoretically there could be an issue but only if a copper plumbing fixture AFTER the PEX connection is contacted by an electrical wire and it shorts.  Since the plumbing is probably quite isolated in a bath, I don't think you have a potential, or at least not much.  Many houses today are not grounded through the plumbing at all but through buried Rebar encased in concrete and subsequent ground contact.  Good intuitive thinking!
