I am looking to purchase this small townhouse but am bothered by the only toilet being downstairs. Will be redoing the bathroom completely and not fussed in keeping the bath so there is a spot for the toilet BUT how much would I be looking at from a plumbing point of view. Any ideas of costs? Is it even possible?
Hello @1602kira
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about adding another toilet to your bathroom.
I propose engaging the services of a plumber and asking them for a quote on the installation of a new toilet. It's possible that the plumber will install a Saniflo Sanitop Domestic Macerator Pump. This will allow the plumber to use smaller pipework and connect to your existing sewer pipe downstairs. It will greatly reduce the profile of the pipework to be connected and can be covered with a bulkhead cover keeping your first-floor ceiling neat and tidy. This quote can then be added to your bathroom renovation cost.
I can't give you a fixed amount on the toilet installation, but it will be worth paying for the plumbers site visit as it will give you a fixed cost to the toilet installation. Once you've made contact with a plumber ask them if they provide a free quote or if the quote service needs to be paid if it is a site visit.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
