I'm planning to build an ensuite out of a dressing room next to my bedroom later in the year.

I'll get a builder to do the macerator thing (it's not going into a soil waste) and maybe a sparky if nec (changing only switch in that area of room, other area becoming a cupboard so will need extra light & switch), will do the plumbing myself.

Anything in particular out look out for? Will have a bath, shower over, wee sink and bog. May also put a glass/perspex panel in partition wall along with a lcd telly in the bedroom so I can pivot that round and watch Homes under the Hammer from the bath.

Ohh, and if you are fitting a bog, there won't be a need for a wee sink - a traditional hand basin will suffice 😉

I hope you're not referring to the "ensuite" I shall be buying in the next couple of weeks....

Really OMITN, that is a very special feature.

But back to the OP - really look into whether you can get a full-sized soil pipe - those macerators are useless, prone to failing and can be expensive to fix. IMO they should only be fitted if it is impossible to get a soil in.

Avoid going down the macerator route if you can. Think about what it does and what it will be full of when it goes wrong.

Thanks guys, I don't think I have the option of non-maceration, unless I just get a urinal?

OMITN my title was in reference/deference to your thread...
