Not happy with new bathroom installation. Plumber left basin pipes exposed....

[Juicyfrooty]

Just looking for some opinions and any advice how to overcome this issue.

We have been having a complete bathroom refurb over the past 2 weeks, everything was going well until yesterday when the basin was installed. It is a wall hung basin but the plumber hasn't chased the pipes into the wall (it's an external brick wall on a 1930's house which apparently they can't bury pipes in) he has left the pipework exposed and it looks terrible.

I'm so disappointed with how it looks, is there any way around this?

Thanks

The wall was already tiled so how did you think the plumber was going to track the pipes into the wall?
But a vanity would look great, it doesn’t matter if they’re not exactly a match we have a large vanity in the downstairs toilet and the toilet isn’t from the same range but as they’re all just plain white it doesn’t make any difference no one notices.
There’s some lovely ones out there now.

That's not correct. The OP says on page 2 that the bathroom was completely gutted and taken back to brick so that it could be done

I think chrome clips, covers for the bottom exposed copper and some discs for the floor will look better than replacing with a different unit or trying to hide with a pedestal.

What did you do in the end juicyfrooty? I'm thinking of having a hanging cabinet fitted to replace the current one which comes right down to the floor, but will have the same problem as pipes come out of floor and will be visible when old cabinet is removed.

I'm confused (sorry if I've missed the explanation in an earlier post) but if the wall was taken back to brick, why were the pipes not chased into it then? Why and who made the decision not to do this? Or is it the case that you had the tiler/plasterer complete their work ahead of when the plumber began theirs?

But she clearly got the wall plastered and tiled before it was. Which is odd, if she wanted the pipes chased in

I think the more you try to hide it the more prominent they'll be. It will be less noticeable when the trap (a nice chrome one I presume) is in place.
I had a similar thing, moved the clips and painted pipes white.

The plumber also put a plastic J bend under my lovely little cloakroom sink. DH and the plumber were like - it's just a functional downstairs loo - what do you mean? Took me ages to get a decent chrome trap put on instead!
