New Bathroom Floor
Page 1 of 1
I have a crack in my first floor shower recess floor. Am looking to have the entire floor redone, finally getting rid of the horrible existing tiles.
I have never attempted a bathroom reno. Though not an entire reno, am looking at not only the floor but shower recess, vanity and toilet. Any tips or hints? Anyone had something like this before? Does someone co-ordinate everything (tiler, plumber etc)?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
The toilet I have at the moment is the standard type and I was wanting to replace it with a toilet that is flush with the wall. The above quote is for changing the plumbing to accommodate this new toilet. Is this a big job to change the plumbing for this type of toilet? Or should I just go with a new standard type of loo? Someone told me that some toilets are bolted to the floor and that I should ensure I get one that is concreted to the floor. Whats the difference? Are some loos only meant to be bolted down? Do I need to ask how it is fixed before I buy one?
Would appreciate any help or advice on this matter.

By the time you remove and refit the vanity and toilet, you may as well get a new vanity and toilet. It will only add $1,000 to the price if you don't move the plumbing.. i.e. full renovation.
Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself later.
stratastruggler- it is a big job to replace the toilet to a wall hung toilet.
Or did Stratastruggler mean the newer streamlined style that sits on the floor up against the wall (easier to clean around
For a start you have to waterproof 150mm up from the floor at least which means cutting into the tiles and sheeting on the walls.
I'd hate for you to do all this work only to have the walls look decidedly ordinary compared to the rest of the bathroom once you have finished.

Have seen some bathrooms done in this way with the border tiles and they look good. Providing you pick the right colour floor tiles I would think. Thanks again for your feedback. At least it confirms for me that this guy really does know what he is talking about!
