The key to achieving the perfect back to wall look in your bathroom suite installation is in fitting the right back to wall toilet.
Most back to wall toilets are minimal in their design and will complement a modern bathroom. When buying your WC, make sure that you check whether your toilet cistern is included in the pack. Often, because the cistern is a standard item, you will need to buy the two separately. You don’t want to hire a contractor to install your bathroom and find that something as essential as a toilet cistern is missing, so do double check if you’re not sure. You’ll need a wall mounting support for your toilet cistern, too; again, this may come with the concealed cistern or may be sold separately.
Remember as well that taps and wastes are not generally included as part of your basin purchase. Again, to prevent any hitches on installation day, make sure you choose taps and a waste which will complement your basin practically as well as aesthetically. The basin may be predrilled for taps: check whether there is one hole or two, and buy your taps accordingly. Check, too, whether your basin has an overflow slot: if it does, you’ll need a slotted waste and if not, you’ll need an unslotted variety.
When it comes to installation, first think about the positioning of your toilet. Your WC soil pipe is a nuisance to move, and moving it will be considerably more expensive than leaving it in situ. If you can, then, maintain the existing position of the toilet in your new bathroom layout to keep costs and plumbing work to a minimum.
A back to wall WC is more directly related to the close coupled design of toilet than a wall hung toilet is, as it still sits on the floor and has a cistern above and behind the bowl. This cistern is hidden, but it’s there. Whether you are building a false wall to conceal your new cistern, then, or buying a piece of bathroom furniture to do this for you, if you’re replacing a close coupled toilet and keeping the position of your old toilet, you will simply need to consider the ‘rough in’ (check with your bathroom supplier if you’re unsure) when you make your WC purchase, to ensure that you’ll be able to use your current pipework.
Your toilet can be combined with either a pedestal, semi-pedestal or wall hung basin, or an inset or countertop basin on a fitted vanity unit. Again, think about positioning to keep plumbing costs down. It’s less tricky to re-route the water supply and waste pipes for a basin than to move a toilet soil pipe, but if your existing basin is in a sensible position, retain that position and spend the resulting savings elsewhere.
