Coloured and replacement bathrooms to order
Your Guide
We want to provide you with the correct replacement sanitaryware. To do that we need the right information from you. Please take a look at our brief guides below, and contact us with your requirements.
Colours
With over 130 colours to identify, many of which are quite similar, the make of the sanitaryware eliminates most of the possible mismatches as each manufacturer produces a limited number of colours.
If the official sanitaryware colour is not known, the make, age, and a general description of the colour should allow us to narrow down the colour and send some samples for confirmation.
A digital photo of the basin and toilet is always useful as although the exact colour reproduction is not reliable, we can identify the make and an indication of the colour enough to send a few samples for final confirmation.
Toilets
Cisterns
Please give as much of the following information as possible:
- A photo.
- The make.
- Close-coupled or low-level.
- Side-supply or bottom-supply.
- If close-coupled, how many bolts fix the cistern to the pan?
- A rough guide to the age of the suite.
- Any names or numbers under cistern lid.
- Front or side-lever.
- Measure dimensions A, B, C, & D as indicated in the sketch for the basin you require.
- Note if there are 1, 2, or 3 tap-holes.
Pans
Indicate type of pan from diagrams.
The simplest method of differentiating between washdown and siphonic pans is to estimate the distance between the bottom of the 'U' bend and the floor. In a washdown pan it will be 25mm, and in a siphonic pan it will be 100mm.
If close coupled how many bolts fixing cistern to pan and how many fixing holes in the pan: 2,4 or 6.
Pan Outlets
Indicate the pan outlet from the diagrams.
Seats
The majority of seats are standard and have a standard oval seat with approximately 170mm hinge fixing centres.
If your seat has wider fixing centres, a very wide back or a more rectangular form, it will be necessary to establish the toilet make/model. To do this send a photo or template of the seat to us, together with such colour information that you have.
Basins

- A photo.
- The make.
- An estimate of the item's age.
