replacing toilet and resiting?

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

We have an old 60's style toilet. Its the type where a pipe comes from the cistern then into the toilet. We would like to remove and replace with a closed coupled toilet against the wall. Problem is the exisiting toilet waste pipe goes directly into the ground rather than through a wall. Is it possible to move the toilet back to accomodate the new closed coupled one.

Depending on many factures that you haven't told us.
either alter the waste in the floor closer to the wall, try a swan neck pan connector depending on the measurements of the waste pipe to the new cc wc outlet, or build a false wall to bring wc foreward to locate wc outlet to waste pipe, or just battern behind cistern to bring whole wc foreward to align with waste.

give us some pics.

Thats quite a distance.
i'd go for a false wall up to the height of the cistern top and enough depth to align the wc to waste outlet.

How about a back to wall pan with enclosed cistern.

Ideally we wanted to move the toilet back to gain more space. Is this not possible?

Only by moving the waste in the floor.
whats the floor solid screed etc ?

 

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

yeah its solid. The inlet that takes the waste pipe from the pan looks like terracotta!

Then it would be the floor up to reposition the waste pipe.

is that a big job or a diy?
