Re: How to replace a toilet?

Hello @dekeykunsang 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your toilet.

 

The evekare Raised Height Rimless Back To Wall Toilet Suite WELS 4 Star 4.7L/Full has a set out range of 90mm to 180mm which means that it will work with your current pan set out in your home. However, the evekare pan is 365mm wide which means that the back of the pans skirt will hit the cistern tap. I suggest getting a plumber to move the cistern tap for you so that it is out of the way. But if you are after a common linked toilet suite there is the Stylus Allegro Link Toilet Suite WELS 3 Star 6L/Full. Please note that this toilet suite is not as tall as the evekare as it is not designed for special needs.

 

I also recommend checking out the stores Toilet Installation Service for convenience. Please make sure to give all the details of your current toilet setup before booking the service. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Re: How to replace a toilet?

Hi Eric, 

will the Bunnings plumber will move the tap for me for extra cost. Or do I need to hire outside plumber to move and then for installation I should book from Bunnings? 
and what’s the normal price range to move the water tap?

Hello @dekeykunsang 

 

You'll need to discuss it with the stores plumber and see if they are willing to add this job to the service. If not, you'll need to hire an outside plumber to do this for you. I suggest posting the tap moving job on Hipages or Airtasker and asking for a quote to see what the going rate is in your area.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
