1 1/4" chrome elbow? Any plumbers know if they exist?

We've just had a new bathroom put in and unfortunately the waste trap to the sink was faulty so we have had to send it back and order a new one...

The plumber put in a plaste trap etc for the time being but said that there are two plastic 1 1/4" elbows that he needed to put in... We have the chrome pipe to go in between but the plumber said he wasn't sure if you could get the elbows in chrome in that size??

I asked at the plumbing supplies shop that I bought the trap in and they didnt have any, I looked in B&Q and couldn't see any, I've now looked online but am starting to wonder if they do these in chrome at all??

Does anyone know if these exist and if so where I can get two? If not what can I do apart from having plastic pipes?? (the pipes are on show as the sink is wall mounted....

thanks in advance :)

    You might also find that the 1 1/4" trap you have is a (!!!!!! size) and not 35mm as all fitting are now.Had this problem a few times as they are imported traps,which you get with the sink.
    You might end up getting a new trap.
    Take the trap to a good plumbers merchant and ask them to try it on a piece of pipe.Not many merchants will stock crome 1 1/4" fitting you will have to order them.And dont forget to pick up your chin when you are informed of the price.
    Hope this helps.
