Hi - I have a small downstairs cloakroom and would like to know what is the best way to attach the toilet and the basin.
The basin will be fixed to a blockwork wall and it came with some screws and a fitting plate (Roca basin). However, my brother says that some threaded rod and a chemical cement (Chemset ?) will make a better join and be a better job.
What would you do ?
Also have a toilet to fit.
Have the waste pipe and cold water input in place. Just need to fix it to the floor and wall.
The wall is studwork and I have a noggin in the right place behind all the plasterboard etc. I was going to use stainless steel screws through the cistern back (there are holes in the ceramic for that I guess).
For fixing it to the tiled floor (then screed - about 80mm) I was going to drill a 6mm hole and use the mm floor bolts that come with the toilet but again my brother said that most people just put down a bed of silicon and squidge it down.
What is the better way or a combination of both ?
Thanks,
Ed
