olive green exposed cistern?

[mutley racers]

Hi chaps, I need to find one of the above for an old lady. She fell on old one and cracked it but, she cannot afford a whole new one

 

[Plumbing Tiler]

Try brokenbog.com, they have lots of old coloured stuff, send em a pic and they try to match it up, not cheap though, probably be cheaper to fit a new complete cheap one instead!

 

[johnnyplumb]

try this Discontinued Colour Info

 

[Mike Jackson]

Is she insured? I've generally found it's cheaper to but a complete suite than a discontinued colour.

Used to know a place in london but cost was very high, and insurance Co dont like paying for them, want you to put in white, Have a look round local tips etc might get luck'y When you say green do you mean avocado ?

 

[mutley racers]

Yes avocado. Wow, ok I shall have to ask her about a new suite then. Thanks fellers

 

[mutley racers]

Will i be able to fit a new 6 ltr external cistern to the old flush pipe or are they different sizes

 

[PlumbBobBob]

should be the same size. you could get a new flush pipe a well to make sure.

 

[jtsplumbing]

You can but may not get right flush pattern for pan, was told you need to replace the complete suite as they are designs'd to work togeather , as B4 have a look round local tip etc may pick one up for a couple of £ even try ebay !

Well I put a cheap plastic one in for now and told them they will need to update bathroom as all parts for old sanware is really expensive. They said they would like a new bathroom in September. Bingo! Also, the toilet seemed to work fine I could not check with my stools as the client was there but, I wacked a load of toilet paper in and it cleared it fine.

Thanks for the advice guys
