    sometimes you see these renovation shows that show old houses still having the pink bath and bathroom sink and pink toilet

    Anyone know where i can buy these from ?

    Not WELS approved & can't be installed by a licensed plumber. Better off getting a new toot to your liking and getting a mob to spray it and the cistern in your favourite colour.

    @pinkboy May have some textas he could lend you as well.

    Car bodyworks would have the equipment and expertise to spray paint.

    Went to a open inspection. Poo brown toilet and matching basin. And not man made. Its up there with copper range hoods and orange or red laminex benches on a dark stained timber kitchen with slate floors.

    Just awful. Worse (just) than pink.

    Its why people renovate. Have NEVER seen a reno show where they put old 1930s period pieces into a modern reno. Mixing period pieces is dangerous.

    I can say that I've been to 5 of these, know of 2 of the others and have a few more up my sleeve.

    The one in Rockadale has some great stuff but no staff.

    Look I could have thrown in a pink bath too, and some funky patterned veneer cabinetry!
