I have recently employed a plumber to replace a radiator with a towel rail in my bathroom. The connecting pipes were about 10cm too wide for the new towel rail hence some adjustment was required.
I had 10mm pipe coming out of the wall so expected this is to be adjusted. Instead the plumber knocked 2 holes in the wall to reveal the pipes in the wall and then, grabbed the pipes and using his hand bent the 10mm copper pipe to meet the towel rail adjustments.
He left telling me I could just tile over it, however the gap is at least 10cm wide so I am concerned tiles wont effectively cover the gap although I am mid tiling the bathroom so can do it. Would this support the pipe?
I was slightly concerned about this, however, the plumber pointed out that he doesn't come to my work and tell me what to do...
Is this normal and should I be satisfied by this workmanship. I can email a photo is it helps explain things.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
