Try to install your toilet bowl towards the end of the reno
You won’t be the first person to use your new toilet bowl.
Watch our tiktok video on this if you lazy to read.
When you first purchase your toilet bowl, you would have spent a fair bit of time at the shop, sitting on each toilet bowl, seeing how it fits your ass, before landing on the perfect toilet bowl.
Guess what, if you install it too early, you won’t be the first person to use it.
It will be the contractors (eg plumber/painter/tiler etc.) who enter your house to renovate your house, who will use it before you.
Now, this is fine, but the problem is that more often than not, they will pee and not flush, leaving yellow stains around the toilet bowl before closing the seat to “hide it”.
Imagine the horror when many homeowners proceed to check out their toilet bowl, only to open the seat and find out that their precious toilet bowl has not been taken care of.
This has happened way too often, to utter disgust from homeowners, which is why we decided to pen this down.
Despite multiple reminders from many IDs and main contractors, the issue still persists, which is why it might be easier to just install the toilet bowl towards the later end of the renovation.
There are a few other workarounds as well
Taping the toilet bowl seat to prevent them from using
Only installing in the common bathroom but not the master
Manually make a note on-site to remind the contractors to flush after doing their business
Do whichever that you think fit best, but hopefully with more awareness, we won’t have to face such problems in the future!
