Get the cap. I've just finished mopping up the water in the living room - the
radiator's off in the bathroom and the TRV wasn't as turned off as it
should have
been.


No decorators cap, but I did get a pair of half inch black iron ones.

Following up on John Stumble's suggestion I looked at putting a coin in.
Unfortunately, the hole is way too small, but I did get a bit of
cardboard in, which did the job. Once the rad was off, I fitted the
blanking caps to each valve, so if they do decide to leak, I don't get a
soggy floor.

CARDBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
