You could fit a 4" Bung bought from any drainage centre or screwfix or stuff a rubble bag inside tape over it

Hi Karen, if this is a temp measure, scrunch up some newspapers and insert at the pipe entrance (do not push it all the way in) and tape a bag over the pipe. If its not a temp measure, your plumber should be able to cap this off for you.
