Tips for replacing bathroom fixtures
- Choose a wall-hung toilet during a renovation — easier to clean; flush mechanism concealed in wall is low maintenance
- Check drain pipe diameter — Dutch standard: 90 mm for toilet, 40–50 mm for bath/shower
- Use a certified plumber — only KW-certified or approved installers may connect drinking water installations
- Choose anti-limescale taps in hard water areas — Randstad and central NL have hard water; thermostatic mixer with anti-limescale is worth the premium
- Combine tiling and fixtures in one job — doing both simultaneously saves mobilisation costs and reduces disruption days
