Hello All,
Was looking for some innovative ideas from you all.😊
I’m renovating a bathroom in a flat.
The soil, hot & cold water pipe runs stops me from butting the new toilet cisten flush to the wall. I was hoping to use a flexible waste to help me get closer but the pipes stop this option. The only thing I can think of is to make a 10cm gap a bit of a feature using extra long screws housed in chrome piping to bridge the gap between the cistern and the wall. Any other ideas would be much appreciated. Just to say moving the pipes in a flat would be very difficult and not something the customer wants.
 
Make a box out of 4x2 the shape of the cistern-20mm etc and paint it in with the wall ?
 
Buy a concealed cistern cabinet and cut it down to 100mm or whatever the gap is,
