Default who does them wall socket surrounds?

you know the ones i mean, they go under the plug or light switches to cover any ugly marks and sit about an inch further out that the wall socket/switch?

we've got a few but i can't remember what they are called so i can't find out if they are available for double plug sockets or not

mine are on a few light switches in the other house to make it look tidy, so any ideas?

They look bloody awful imo, normally rip them out in old houses!! Splash of paint round the switches would look far better surely!

some of the tiling is a bit suspect so the gaps around the edges are cheaper to fix with some of them than retiling the whole kitchen

thanks guys

You do know that tiles come in 1's and not big sheets? Therefore you can replace just the one after cutting it out!
