Plastic beads to close gap behind a wash basin

[a.c.c.]

Hello
I replaced two basins/cabinets (cloakroom and bathroom) which each have a gap behind the basin ( 25 mm depth another one with 50 mm) due of pipes running behind the cabinets. As I will refurbish the bathroom in a couple of months, I do not want to cut the cabinets as the piping will have to change too.

Are there white plastic beads / strips available that could be drilled to the wall to temporarily close this gaps and seal the back of the basin?
The dimensions I am looking for are:
- 60mm deep x 60mm or more high x 500mm or more long
- 25mm deep x 25mm or more high x 400mm or more long


Thanks for your feedback.
Best regards


A.C.C.

Hello acc,:welcome:

not quite certain of what you are trying to do?
is this just a tempory visual thing or are you trying to seal open ends on pipes?
maybe a photo/drawing would help.

are you just wanting to cover the gap behind the unit as a tempory measure?
why not just use a bit of wood?

I use 40mm white Upvc cladding strips available from Wickes for packing and for the bottom of plastic bath panels, when the bath has to be raised making the plastic panel too short. About £12 for 3 x 3m lengths.They readily adhere to anything with a little silicon or gripfill. On a bath panel, it is fixed with chrome dome headed mirror screws and looks really impressive.

The Upvc strips are available in a range of different widths too.

Hi Simon F
Thanks for your response. Here's one o the basins (with the 60mm gap).
I was thinking about plastic as I recon wood being affected by the water.
What would be the best way to treat wood so that it is serving this purpose?
Many thanks.

virtually anything used to make up a gap like that is a bodge either scribe the cupboards or build a boxing and tile

Why have you got such a big gap?
