Hi all,

I have an issue in a bedroom where one of the radiators has slanting pipes coming up from the floor. These are the chrome pipes attached to the radiator valves.

I have attached some pictures to this so hopefully you can see what the issue is. It obviously looks unsightly. Is there a bendable chrome pipe or pipe connectors that can make this look a little less ugly?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

No, there aren't any flexible chrome pipes. You'd need to use a proper pipe bender to sort that out
 
.... and get those ISO valves swapped out while you're at it, they're not designed for use on central heating and will leak eventually

I was wondering if they were Ts or isos.
OP there's no easy way to make that pretty, whoever put the pipework in cocked up (or the walls have been insulated or drylined after the system was installed).
If you can lift the carpet and floorboards fairly easily then do it and have a look at the pipework underneath- you might get lucky, it might be placcie or maybe long runs of copper with some wiggle room.
If you don't fancy doing that its elbows and new rear entry valves.
