Basin Trap Conundrum

[Kohaashi]

So I’m currently having the bathroom completely refurbished, but the plumber appears to have installed the basin waste pipe too low to be concealed by the wall hung vanity unit/basin.

What would you suggest in this scenario?

Try and find a different wall hung vanity unit/basin that will cover the pipe and trap?

Use two elbow bends on the pipe to have it come out and up closer to the wall? This would conceal most of it except the first elbow bend from the wall. But is this ok to do?

Rip off the tiles and backer board and install at a higher position?

A picture might help

Have you discussed this with the plumber? It sounds like it would be easy for him to fix.

Chrome trap will sort it no problem/look nice.

This is the vanity unit.

If the top of the basin is placed at 90cm from the floor (waist height) then the pipe and trap will be visible in the lower cage section of the vanity.

I could lower the basin a bit and hide some of the pipe but the trap will still be visible.

I’ve looked at taller wall hung vanity units and these seem no better as the bottom draws seems to have no cutout for the trap/ with the intention that the trap is located higher and closer to the sink. So the options may only be use two elbow bends or to replace the pipe in the wall.

I’ll discuss with the plumber on Monday but was just curious what others would do.

Can you not show us a pic of the actual installation so far? Would be much easier to advise.

Should have probably been chased into the wall from the get go but if its an internal wall thats brick thats not easy to do as it could possibly damage the wall the other side. You could either box it in or if its on show get some chrome 32mm waste pipe.
