    Could anybody please tell me where I could buy a chrome or any other attractive straight through trap to use with a wall mounted sink that I am installing. The only ones I have found are very ugly. Thank you very much.

    Hi Emma,ive just had a look on ebay and there's some chrome wastes on there under PLUMBING. I saw a bottle trap on there buy it now 6.50. This would be suitable for a basin. You may be able to find something there.

    Stay away from the sheds. Go to a proper plumbers merchant.

    Cheers

    Thanks for your reply I appreciate it but it is specifically a straight through trap that I require and I have only found plastic ones. The trap is to go down towards the floor rather than out through the wall as a bottle trap would. Cheers

    The seller on ebay i looked at is a proper plumbing merchant ( PLUMBWORLD UK ) Im not sure that rosebery should be jumping to conclusions about buying stuff from peoples sheds? He/she does have a point though there is some tat on there.

    "sheds" is colloqial for "large DIY stores".

    Errrm - I'm jumping to conclusions?

    OP will get what they want at a decent plumbers merchant. BTW the chrome waste pipe that should come with your chrome bottle trap isn't the same diameter as the plastic you'll be wanting connect it to so you'll need to use a compression fitting rather than pushfit.

    Cheers
