Piglet John! I need you! Something to cover radiator pipes behind towel rail

We have a towel rail in the bathroom. You can see the hole where the plastic central heating pipes come through the wall. It's not pretty.

What's the best way to cover it/ make it look ok?
Is there some sort of panel or plate that I can fit over the pipe's entry point from the wall?

Thanks! :)

Not PigletJohn I am afraid, but do you mean something like this?

Suddengeekgirl · 09/10/2014 20:33

No, but thanks for looking! :)

It's a modern house so we have plastic pipes which go through the walls, rather than coming up through the floor like copper pipes.

eeek ok, you can still use these, if you have 15mm pipes. We have a new build but have cooper pipes that come out of the wall, have used the collars along with these pipe sleeves

if it's the hole in the wall you want to cover, you can get round white plastic covers (usually used for pipes that come up through the floor). They can be painted (preferably before fitting). You might have to fix them to the wall with blu tak silicone as they rely on gravity on floors.

I don't know if they have a special name.

here are some wooden ones Look on the flooring shelves if not found in plumbing.

they're called pipe collars
