Smaller toilet (and waste pipe?)?

Hopefuly somebody can advise....

I'm currently tiling a small bathroom downstaris and wouldn't you know it... the toilet is wonky on the wall, which will no doubt make thhe tiles look silly as (surprise surrise) they are not wonky

Now I know I could straighten it up, but the toilet has been problematic for ages, so maybe this is the push we need to sort it. The issue with the toilet is that there is not enough space in the room to turn around etc, so a shorter toilet would create more room

From the wall that the waste pipe is on to the outside lip of the toilet bowl is approx 67-68cm. Thhe soil pipe is approx 8" long at the point where the join between thhe toilet and pipe is

Is there a solution that would reduce toilet size so far as how far it protrudes out from the wall? Shorter waste pipe or smaller toilet bowl etc?

Thanks in advance for any help provided

    You need a "close coupled suite", the standard today, that way the pan goes back closer to the wall.

    PS, you could possibly shorten the cistern to pan connection pipe and move the pan back a couple of inches
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
