I need a plumber to give me directions for the layout of an ensuite, I work at a hardware store so can supply all fittings pipes etc , I was hoping to do most of the ground work and have everything in place so that it could then get connected by a qualified plumber, I'm in no hurry and can supply pictures and Measurements Bottom line is to do it as cheap as possible but happy to pay for the consult and finish I have no idea what sort of price for this situation If you are a plumber and this is something that you could do let me know what you think The basic floorplan would be a toilet with a shower next to it on a 1.75m wall and a vanity on a 2.8m wall, there is about 16m for the toilet waste to have to run to connect to an existing toilet . We have a patio next to our bedroom and it has the house roof covering it sa was just going to turn that into the onsuite
