Double socket surround
6 Answers
Does anyone know where I can purchase a plastic surround for a double socket, similar to the finger plates available for light switches, but of course larger.
It's to cover cracks in a tile. Thanks.

I mentioned clear, since you could always paint the back of the plate to match your colour scheme.

Buildersmate, why fully remove a switch or socket? I'd always do it this way. (Scroll to bottom).
Hi Buildersmate, yes, I do remove the socket when decorating, but if these surrounds were used the socket would not need to be removed, nor would the paper cuts have to be neat. Just a loosening of the retaining screws (after turning off current of course), and tucking the paper behind the surround plate. Also useful when painting the wall. It'll hide a multitude of sins.
