cheapest?

Hi, where would the cheapest place to buy a new toilet from? Just Reeces or bunnies cheaper? It is only my cistern that is nackered but reading some of your threads they say to buy the whole new unit (pan/cistern)......? cheers in advance

Definitely not Reece...

caroma uniset was $139 from bunnings, I needed a narrow cistern for narrow set out so I bought the slimline cistern. Reece bundled it with their Posh pan. Together it was about $200. When I got home I realised there was no seat, $50 later for a caroma seat, there was no cover for the pipe, linking between the pan and cistern.

Buy from Bunnings and if you need a seat, but a $10 generic one.

Hi Mako

There is a place called Swan Street Auctions in Richmond (up in Melb) that has all sorts of bathroom, plumbing and office furniture supplies. You don't pay for a sparkly showroom! We got a whole house of plumbing supplies there, and they seemed reasonably priced. What was helpful was that lots of their staff are plumbers so they can answer some of the tricky questions.
Cheers, Justine

The Caroma Uniset (in white) is now $149 from Bunnies and is the cheaper way to go over just replacing the cistern, but requires a bit more skill plus. The package comes with an S trap pan suitable for a 6/3L flush, cistern, seat and skirt that links the pan to cistern (flush pipe cover)

Provided your setout is no more than 210mm to the centre and your water point (stopcock) is a bit lower that the top of the pan, if not it will clash with the cistern, it should all fit. You may need to replace/alter the copper connector to the cistern, with a flexi connector.

I also replace the rubber in the pan collar which has usually perished and will allow the sewer smell to escape, I dont think Bunnies stock these, try a plumbing supplier
