How to paint/cover a waste pipe

[Katie Jeffries]

I have just moved into a flat and the water waste pipe from the flat above goes through our bathroom. Whoever lived here before had painted it but I’m guessing with normal paint and the paint is flaking off, presumably due to water heat. The pipe is about 7ft tall and about 15cm wide. Would it be best to sand and repaint or could I cover it with something?
