Second Hand toilet cistern?

WhatsGoingOn · 09-05-2006 11:17AM #1

Hi,

The toilet cistern is very badly cracked in my parents house. The house was built in 1980, so the clour of the bathroom suite is greeny/brown. They don't want to replace the whole bathroom suite because of a cracked cistern, so I was wondering if it would be possible to get a second hand one anywhere?

Thanks.

Looks like a wash hand basin to me.

However you could try Coloured sanitaryware

Depending where you are, but l think that there is someone opposite Dundalk Institute of Technology that does S/h sanitaryware.

Looks like avocado. I know a plumber who spent months trying to find an avocado basin after he cracked one while changing the taps to adapt-a-tap. The woman wouldn't accept a white basin instead so he had to change the whole bathroom set, including the bath at his own expense.
The point is he combed the whole city, had ads in buy and sell, did the salvage yards, but to no avail. It's all white sano going in these days.

It is a wash hand basin! But the cistern was covered in glue/sealent etc, so just took a picture of the sink to show the colour.
That crowd in the UK do avocado, so I just sent them a mail asking if they ship to Ireland.
Thanks for the link.

I was thinking it mightn't be possible, but said I'd try anyway.
Thanks.
