Double pipe cover?

[Madrab]

That's a case of, all too tight to run it all downwards by the looks of it, chap thought .... hmmm can I get the bits and try to drill the composite and then crack it, erm, nope ... that would be nightmare replacement costs, explanations to the boss, much hand wringing ensues, etc.etc.etc.

'fraid that one comes down to the hubby saying, "yeah fire away" .... "just do it that way" ... "it'll look fine" and then "oh pants, how do I explain that one"

Shame either a spirit level wasnt used, or at least line em up to the tile line. Ps be it granite or composite, both can be drilled. Im guessing the install wasn't cheap feel for you.

Installer fancied his pipe bending skills over his drilling skills and hubby was all to keen to listen to the bullshit reasons not to drill through the worktop

Anyway... back to your current dilemma... as said, Talon do a conduit cover/shielding that clips directly onto their pipe clips.

Thanks everyone. Looks like it's going to be a case of covering the pipes and learning to live with it.

You could always get a bit creative and paint them to match and blend into the mosaics!
Get hubby to do it

If it's good enough for the man of the house.....

Like you I'd have real trouble living with that. I'd even be tempted to see if you can find those types of tiles, disconnect the pipework, cut 3 lines of tiles out, chase the wall and bury them and then re-tile back on top.
A plumber could do the re-pipe for not a huge sum of money and a good DIY'er could deal with the the rest of it.

Electric co. You wouldn't have had that with a well known national Gas co.
