Need to find unusual toilet bowl

Big_Mac_TMMM

I have an unusual toilet. Instead of discharging out of the back, or out of the bottom, it is in two bits. There is a bit that you sit on, on top of a second bit, that is a u-bend. The u-bend is turned towards the front and is slightly off to the side.

The toilet u-bend has been damaged and we need to get a new toilet installed, but I can not find anything that looks like the toilet we have.

Putting in a different design, would involve digging up the entire floor (maybe even demolishing the small outbuilding at the back of the house that has a toilet in) and connecting down to the drain from a different angle. That would obviously cost thousands of pounds to do. :eek:

I don't want to have to pay for major works, so I need to find somewhere that sells these weird toilet bowls.

I have tried searching on Google, but I do not even know what this sort of two-part toilet bowl is called and am having problems seeing anything similar.

Can anyone help?

I think (after three days of not being able to work out the right words) I have found a name for this type of toilet. I think it is called Rotas or Volvia.

I see one from replacementbathrooms.co.uk called ROTAS 2 piece WC toilet pan and another one from H.M. James and Sons called REPLACEMENT ROTAS 2 PART S TRAP WC.

One is £295 and the other is £277. That seems to be three times the price of a normal toilet.

Can you not now put a new soil thru the wall and cap off the existing? Obviously needs connecting outside, but would save the upheaval inside....

Are you sure you couldn't get away with a more 'normal' toilet and one of these?

my thought.

If space in front build a false cabinet over the soil pipe and use a back to wall with suitable connector

would one of these not fit? http://www.replacementbathroom.co.uk/turned-trap-low-level-wc-toilet-pan-white-1192-p.asp

if the issue is that you don't want the upheaval of chaging the concreted in outlet I too would fit a normal bottom exit pan.

you may have to space the cistern of the wall, but this can make a handy shelf, alternatively fit a hidden cistern and cabinet.
