I hate my toilet! Help with up cycling.

My toilet has and old black cistern and a white bowl. I hate it, the colour scheme in my washroom is Blue, green with white and chrome decor the black cistern has purple paint all over it from last owners... It's just so ugly and out of place. I have been considering spray painting the cistern gloss white? Any suggestions? Of course I would love to just buy a new one but funds are tight and plumbers are expensive!

    You can buy a used toilet and it is easy to install yourself . Some times you can even get a free one just for picking it up.

    I agree w Connie. Also, you might be able to find just the cistern part of a white toilet somewhere (junkyard, resale shop, yard sale). I've seen toilets under $50 in the big box stores, and yes, they're pretty easy to install.

    You can buy a brand new toilet, the entire thing, for under $100 at Lowes and Home Depot. Don't paint it, it won't look right unless you epoxy it. Hope this helps.

    Being in the United Kingdom the suggestion of Lowes or Home Depot really wouldn't work. Is any recycling centers in your area. You can check there or pass the word around to everyone you know and someone may know of someone remodeling and you may get it for free
