[mickd83]

Hi there looking for some help.I am going to be tiling my bathroom floor.I need to raise toilet and sink up about 10-15mm.what would be the best way to do this and what would I need.I was thinking that I would need to cut copper pipe and put on a bit of flexi pipe.I have attached some photos 1 going into cistern other going into sink.Think they might be upside down.

New tap connectors with a slightly longer pipe into the service valves.

Thanks a lot mate.Is it easy enough to fit.

A doddle. You can do it with push fit if you're not comfortable with soldering.

there may be enought play in the pipes to acomidate the 10mm rise if they are loose under the floor

Thanks a lot for your help.There doesnt seem to be much play with pipes it is into a concrete floor

you have got the isolation valves so its easy enough to close them of take out basin and wc then get on with the tiling.
when it comes to refitting you will then know exactly what space you need to make up.
you could as you say cut lower and fit flexis. or the suggestions already given
or possibly a tap extension

TAP EXTENSION - BRASS (VARIOUS SIZES) on eBay!

just use tap extenders which screw onto the tap tail and a trap extender for the trap you can use two if one isnt enough

The harder one will be the soil pipe from the toilet!
