Hi guys,

 

just a quick question,

 

I would like to replace both covers, do I just need to unscrew it and replace it with a new cover? Would that be fine?

 

thanks

Kind of a Big Deal

Re: sewage trap cover

Hi @porropie 

 

 

Those covers are in perfect shape

 

Just paint them  masking the  lawn  paint  them   greeen

 

Or better yet  use left over grass and cut out  round shapes and glue it on to the covers. just avoid glue onto the outer screw holee so the  egde of the lawn  can be lifted and access the screws at need.

Re: sewage trap cover

Hi @porropie,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

 

As @Jewelleryrescue has said, functionally there is nothing wrong with them, but if you'd like them to look nicer there's no reason you can't replace them.

 

You can unscrew and replace the cap as long as the screw holes line up. The only issue with this is you will have a nice-looking cap with a worn ring around the outside. If you are fine with this, there is nothing stopping you.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Jacob

 

Re: sewage trap cover

Thanks for the reply

 

i want to change the cover as they are cracked, so thought it would be better if I change them

Thanks for the advice

All good @porropie 

 

 

The cracks   where not apparent to us in photos  so we didnt suggest replacements right away.  

 

But your golden  now.  I still like the the cap cover up solution  for my place.  :smile:
