How to Convert Western Toilet to Indian?

My parents do not prefer the Western toilet so we had to come up with some plan on how to convert Western toilet to Indian without breaking. We therefore hired professional renovators for this work. Instead of breaking anything, they suggested we place a detachable Indian-style pan over the existing Western toilet, making sure it’s stable and aligned with the drainage. But if you want a permanent solution, you will need to replace the western toilet with an Indian toilet.

How to Change Western Toilet to Indian Toilet?

I have seen many people switch from a Western toilet to an Indian one for hygiene and health reasons. But let me tell you that if you want a permanent solution, you will need to hire professional renovators for it.

Our renovator suggested we opt for a permanent solution so here is a brief on how it can be done: 

1. The existing commode will be carefully detached after turning off the water supply and sealing the drainage.

2. The squat pan will then be placed, aligned with the drainage system, and fixed securely with cement.

3. The entire floor will be re-tiled, the flush system will be tested, and any necessary plumbing changes will be done.

So this is how to convert Western toilet to Indian style.

Who to Hire for Home Renovation?

My nephew insisted on having an Indian toilet installed since he found the western toilet uncomfortable. So, I decided to replace my Western-style toilet without damaging the entire alignment. I hired a plumber to complete the task because I was unaware of how to convert western toilet to Indian toilet on my own. 

He began by taking off the western toilet seat and then did the following processes, which I outlined below. However, I would suggest you have an expert change the toilet seat properly.

How to Change Western Toilet to Indian?

The primary distinction between the two types of toilets is the requirement to use an Indian-style toilet while squatting. I saw the following steps that the plumber performed to change my toilet from western to Indian:

• He started by taking out all the necessary components and unscrewing the bolts holding the Western toilet in place.

• After that, he fixed the required drainage.

• To provide sufficient space for the user to squat easily, he set up a raised platform. I didn’t know properly how he did that.

• Finally, he connected the squatting pan to the existing plumbing and tightened its fittings.

To be really honest, I'm not sure if you should try this or any procedure by yourself. You might destroy your space and toilet seat if you don't have proper knowledge and experience.

I would advise you to choose a professional plumber from NoBroker as their prices are far lower than those of other companies. They also complete the task more quickly, cleanly, and without difficulty. In the long term, it is a safer and more sustainable solution. I hope you found this answer helpful.
