    Build a box or replace toilet?

    I replaced my bathroom floor and in the process, broke my 20+ year old toilet. I've fit the pictured toilet but it's a 17-18cm gap to the wall, and causing the cistern to lean forward.

    Boxing in waste/copper pipes - is there a modular option?

    It's been many years since I last sorted a bathroom but, sadly, the bullet must be bitten. Obviously, in the interim it's been realised that the faffing about with custom built boxing-in option is laughable, and a versatile off-the-shelf modular option for hiding the pipework away has become...
