Anyone know where can I buy a large pipe collar for a waste to cover a wide gap?

[Gromit1]

I have a problem with an old tiling job, done before I moved in. There is a basin waste pipe in the wall with a collar around it (forgive me if I am not using the right terminology) and the problem is that the hole for the pipe was not cut evenly so there is a gap one side of the collar of perhaps 1cm.

I haven't been able to track down the same tiles, it'd look terrible to fill with grout or silicone, so I am wondering if there is a large version of a chrome radiator pipe collar on the market?

Have a look here mate although I cant visualise what you need. I use them all the time.

You may be able to enlargen the hole on a standard chrome radiator pipe collar. The overall diameter of those are about 58- 60mm.

Thank you Mr Diamond - On the site I can see something called a "wall flange". It is a chrome trim which goes around the chrome pipe which comes out the wall and is connected to the basin waste. The problem is that the hole in the tile is so big that even the flange doesn't cover it, so I am after something like a bigger version of the plastic chrome coloured trims which you can buy which go over pipes which go into radiators and towel rails - called pipe collars.

Thanks Sir R. A usual pipe collar won't be big enough. I could always post a photo of the problem.

What about a big round dinner plate? cut a hole in it and spray it silver.

Thank you everyone, especially Sir R with all the attachments - this is why I like forums - the amount of accessible knowledge for a novice is incredible and it always amazes me how professionals are so generous with their knowledge. Anyway here is the photo.
