Toilet Drainage/Soil Pipe help?

Options
Hi,

This is a eyesore in the bathroom shown below:

So I bought this 110mm to try conceal the exposure:

However the problem is that the collar that I ordered is big and hence wont fit properly.

Is there anything else that I can buy to conceal it?

Thanks,

    Should there at least but putty round the bottom where the pipes goes in?


    Anyhow...


    My downstairs loo is that sort of fitting. I replaced it with one like this...

    But you could just build a fake wall with a shelf to hide it if you like.

    Not if the bit we can see is the flared end of a 110mm pipe which will have a rubber ring sealing the connection inside. I'm guessing because it's flared the collar didn't fit.


    Not what I would do, but probably not worth stressing over either, and as the other pipe work isn't in any way 'attractive,' I'd box it all in leaving the top removable for inspection/access.

    Ok is there a Pipe Collar that I can buy that is smaller than 110mm? I believe a smaller size will fit perfectly.

    I like to stick to collars as I don't feel confident disconnect the drainage from the ground.

    Do you know where I can buy collars less than 110mm in size?

    For heaven's sake, it's behind the toilet with lots of untidy pipes about.
    A. Box it all in.
    B. Paint the orange pipe white.
    C. Buy the flange, cut in half put around the pipe & glue back together.
    D. (My favourite) Stop worrying about it, it's fine.

    Do not think anyone has a split 90mm collar.

    If you not confident of pulling off the push fit connection then do as Essex exile states. Get someone to saw in half and then reglue.

    Can you not use your 110 glue it down even space all round fill gap and paint.
