Hi,
I'm looking to install a new bathroom in my flat and would like to change the layout, however I'm unclear as to how feasible this is. All of the existing pipework emerges from solid (i.e. not stud) walls.
My questions are:
- Is there a difference between the feeds to a bath vs. sink? Could the two be interchanged and hooked up to the pipework for the other? It seems that baths get a better flow rate than sinks when filling though maybe this is just because the taps are that little bit lower..? Are the pipes bigger or something?
- Is it possible to relocate a toilet at all when the waste pipe is built into a solid wall? Is it possible to extend the run from the back of the toilet in order to hook it up to the exiting waste outlet (then box it in)? I'm looking to move the toilet about 50 cm to the right.
All input most gratefully received.
James
