I have a horrible downstairs tiny loo. In order to make it look nicer, bigger and more modern I would like to get rid of tge pedestal sink and haveca corner floating sink.

What I need to know is, is it a big job to move the pips as the currenty come up through the floor?
Thanks

All depends on how it was plumbed. Are they in a slab, through a concrete floor or underneath accessible?

Im not sure I am sure it is just floor boards underneath.

If you can get to the underside of the floor, you will be able to reroute the plumbing to the location you want to put the new sink in.

If it is a wood floor, you can cut access panels and relocate the supply lines. Drain lines may be a bit trickier but not impossible.

the currenty come up through the floor sure sounds like an "S" trap to me. At the same time you move the drainage you should also vent the system. Good luck, Tom
