wondered if someone could give me some advice on the bathroom

hole from old cistern overflow waste pipe which the plasterer informed
me i no longer needed, after plastering the walls! the hole goes right
through to a cupboard, how best to fill this??

currently just have toilet basin, removed sink and cistern, bath and
shower still in place and in use
the various pipes some i have cut off and fitted iso valves to, new
suite will be in the same position, is there anything i should do with
the pipe work before trying to fit *a new suite? *any ideas on boxing
in the piping? i looked into cupboards under the sink and a boxed in
toilet but the price is a lot more than a standard £200 suite.

removed old radiator, plan to get a towel rad, so the pipes will need
to be closer together, is this something i can do quite easily?

thanks for all comments


This looks similar to my bathroom.
I have boxed in the pipes up to the height of the bath - so there is a
narrow ledge about 3" wide which runs from the bath along to the
toilet, under the sink (and behind the sink pedestal). When it comes
along to meet the toilet, I profiled the woodwork to fit nicley around
the cistern. The whole lot was then tiled over using the same tiles I
have on the walls.

The ledge is handy for storing things on, and shaft of the shut-off
valves prortudes from the boxed-in part a few inches from the floor.
