Bathroom Fitting

Replacing wall hung toilet

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.18 PM

Hi there, I am in the process of ordering my new bathroom, in particular a toilet. I currently have wall hung toilet and want to replace it with a new wall hung toilet. Will I need to replace the cistern too, or can I just attach a new toilet to the existing cistern? Many thanks!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi there and i hope I can answer this question for you without seeing whats going on so I've made some assumptions I'd always change the cistern for a modern unit with new parts and efficiency scoring . In my experience any new cistern installation would be the quicker more efficient solution providing access us sufficient if course.
