Valve Cover

Right this is going to sound odd but bear with me.

Is there a cover you can get to cover over the 'nipple' if you remove the plastic control? Ideally a metal screw on one.

The reason for this convoluted question is we have a towel rail with a huge control on it and it's always set to fully open anyway so we remove it as we keep hitting off the bloody thing. The 'nipple' is a bit unsightly without the plastic control knob.

Thanks for reading this ridiculous OP, thanks again for any pointers towards the required cover.
