Hello everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the right forum category, or if it would be better under “Heating” or even “Do-it-yourself.”
We have purchased a newly built single-family house, and there are a few points where we are unsure whether they fall under “poor workmanship but functional and therefore acceptable” or if they should be considered actual defects.
One of these issues is the connections of the bathroom radiator (see photos). Is this still acceptable as it is? Or does anyone know if it can be easily fixed by ourselves? Would Moltofill filler be sufficient for that?

Instead of getting frustrated for weeks over uncooperative behavior from the builder, it’s better to fix small issues yourself with some filler. You likely already have some at home anyway.
If he doesn’t know what to use for his own plastering, he will probably also struggle with how to apply it properly (this is not a criticism). I wonder, as in other threads here, why so many people give advice like “just do it yourself quickly,” “it’s not worth the hassle,” etc.
It looks sloppy.
This is a new build, and it should be treated accordingly: NEW, and therefore done professionally and according to recognized technical standards.
Notify, have it corrected, inspect, and done. All of this BEFORE making any payment.
If no money arrives, someone will act quickly. If you have already paid the full amount, you will only be laughed at and fooled.
This is all unfortunate, but I did not make these rules.
