    Reconfigure bathroom plumbing
    I am about to completely renovate my bathroom, and I want to create a better flow by moving the tub, toilet, and sink. How do I go about moving the plumbing to make my bathroom feel less blotchy and more cohesive.:confused:

    Hi Nicole,

    First you must remove all the drainage and water pipes and take them back to the mains leaving enough stub-outs to couple to. You may then lay out the fixture positions and design the drainage. This is major surgery and you will need plumbing skills and tools to do the work. My advice would be to call in outside help unless you have the necessary skills and knowledge.
    Good luck, Tom
