We finish all bathrooms to a very high standard. All pipe work is hidden, however some pipe work must be on display or it may not be possible to hide it in the wall or in the floor. The heating pipes to a radiator or towel warmer are on show between the floor / wall and the radiator.
Whenever we fit a bathroom, we change all of the heating pipes to copper pipes chrome plated where they on display within the bathroom. Other pipes if they cannot be hidden in the wall o in the floor, and these can be water feeds, bath, shower or basin wastes and the toilet soil pipe, we box and tile over.
