ugly pipe box to be covered

ali-t

I have two pipe boxes in my cloakroom that are just thin wood (plywood?) and look awful. There are tiles on the floor so I can get rid of the box as the floor would need retiled but I would like to cover them up so they look nicer.

I don't really want to tile them unless it was on a frame or another panel that could be lifted off for any maintenance work. Any ideas some an inexpensive easy solution that I could do.

I was thinking of getting a joiner in to make the equivalent of radiator covers for them if I can't find any MSE suggestions.

cover the plywood in tiles and fix the panel with screws.
use cups/caps to cover the screws.

Good idea. I am not diy minded at all so would that work best with the tiles that come on mesh so I don't have to cut any tiles but could just cut the joining bits with scissors?

aye the small tiles (mosaic) on a mesh backing are very easy to cut and fix.
give it a go. nice little job for a learner.

Thanks, sounds like an almost manageable plan. My next post will be "I have totally !!!!ed up a simple basic idiot proof diy job, how can I fix it?"
