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.

 

[jtsplumbing]

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

How is this old dear anyway?

You say she fell on the cistern and cracked it?

In Alan Partridge he tests the functionality of a caravan loo by putting half a pound of mashed up dundee cake in it.

Could be your trademark after working on a loo.

CAUTION: This test involves nuts and could bring on heavy flushes!


Did the elderly lady survive?

She must have given it a right whack to crack one of those old cisterns?

Was she by any chance carrying a lump hammer at the time?

Perhaps she'd just had enough of the colour ... dark green sounds a bit ... you know!

Insurance upgrade maybe?

 

[AWheating]

avo green suits........ brings back memories. I wonder if we will ever go back to coloured suits as the norm again? they do say trends cycle?

tho in this instance i hope not

i used to love those brown and maroon ideal standard suites but the real crackers were the two tone numbers in purple and pinkwhere the colors merged usually with gold taps
