Macerator advice for newbie

[Lucy387]

Wow, really kind of you all, thanks.
Well, I would love to get a bathroom designer, but am on a very tight budget (first home etc) and all the quotes I received were way above my price range.
So I've had some advice from the bathroom fitter, who said that the main problem is the distance that I want to move the toilet. He said that I wouldn't get the fall on the soil pipe and that a macerator would be the best option.
I have attached a drawing (not to scale but dimensions of the room included).
I have the new bath suite, so am fairly fixed on the smaller, deeper tub and corner toilet.
Would also have to be an internal soil pipe otherwise it would run across the front of my house. Plumber said there would be room for it, the only issue is creating the fall.

I’m just inquisitive, why all the moving? Any reason why (I’ve attached amended drawing) toilet can’t go where I’ve highlighted blue, the soaking tub/shower go where green,and sink in one of the yellows?

Unfortunately, the tub is too wide to go there. It would leave me with barely a foot at the side to walk through to reach the toilet. It’s bad enough now with a 680mm wide bath. Soaking tub is 900 x 1150. Opted for a shorter, deeper bath so it could go in the alcove where the existing toilet is.

Which way do your joists run and are any of the walls of the bathroom outside wallS

Looks like joists run same way as bath, nails on photo give an indication.

Would that boxing in have to go when new bath installed? If not, why not run soil pipe through that? I don’t see how fall is much of an issue.

Mountains and molehills spring to mind.
Cbw don’t have to look for nails, just perpendicular to the floorboards! (I know they can be double boarded but hey c’mon guys )

I wasn’t trying to be nasty or make a mountain out of a molehill.

Yes, the joists run in the same direction as the bath. The sink and the toilet are on the outside walls. The sink wall is the front of the house and the toilet wall is the side of the house.

No, sorry cbw I didn’t mean you.
I just meant however advised the op that she had to have a macerator.
Like you I can see other solutions.
