Replacement ToiletsWhen replacing a toilet, you should consider that toilet design can differ significantly, especially as far as the cistern is concerned. Most modern toilets follow a close-coupled design, where the cistern sits directly on top of the pan. This design is the easiest to fit and provides fewer complications than low-level or high-level toilets. A recent innovation in toilet design is a unit with a higher seat which is helpful for people with limited mobility. In some cases, if the toilet is old and in need of repairs, it can be much cheaper to install a new one. At times the toilet seat may have cracked and will need replacing. Replacement toilet seats will fit most standard toilet bowls.When installing a toilet to a new location problems can occur if soil pipes need lengthening or repositioning. You might have to extend supply and drain pipes - a job you may want to leave to a plumbing contractor. Tip from our plumber: Remember that certain continental toilet designs will not accept a standard replacement toilet seat as they have different hinge mechanisms. |
