Squatting pan would be cheap and good. [thumbsup] One size fits all. [scholar] Assist every detox execise with natural muscular movement. [laugh]

this is really true, but squatting pan is not user-friendly to disabled or physically weak body.... :)

I had removed our toilet bowl, to clear a "coconut brush" jammed in the downpipe. And reinstall the toilet bowl.

Quite straight forward : disconnect hose, dismantle water tank [optional], remove the 2 floor mounting screws [which secure the toilet bowl to the floor], remove the sealant [silicone or plaster] at the base of the toilet bowl, pull up the toilet bowl.

Unlikely that the wall/floor tiles need to be hacked.

u r quite a DIY person....with proper tool and skill.... :)

most toilets are sitting type now. You can improvise by doing half squat like practicing taiji. Just need to calibrate your zeroing. If bobo, be nice and clean them up.

They break down and remove the old one then fix in a new one with 2 hours? 

Then how long have to wait before can start using?  The cement need to cure right?

I replaced one of mind last year ,  bought it from balastier, I think around $400, labor about $150? Cant remember exactly the figure. Replacement about  2 hours, but I was told not to use it  for a day to allow the cement to settle.

So find one within my budget then pay $150 for labor to remove and install.🤗

Your hdb plumber should be able to do the job. I was loosely quoted 300+ I believe.

My father in law's toilet bowl cracked  2 years ago, I called my regular plumber to simply go replace it, he charged me $350 for the entire job  that I didnt even see the model or whatsoever. If you like to have certain model and design, then pay a bit more to go see what you like.

Ya...he text me say reach 2pm+. Then 4pm text me job done with WA pics. He sourced the toilet bowl for me, soft close lid, not bad.

I wasn't there, and my parents also never say whether need to wait b4 use, so can't comment on whether needs curing.

This is not likely the case, your plumber should be able to find a diameter that will fit your existing one,  there are displacement drain pipe to cater for  drainage hole alignment. If you are determined to replace it with a different brand  or model, my suggestion is for you to go talk to toilet bowl shop, they will be able to give you advice.

Just some general remarks. Cost depend very much on the bowl you select. Do be careful because the outlet distance to wall can be different for difficult bowl. They may have to add collar and fitting. Some imported bowl are not meant for water saving. Due to local code, they modify and flushing may not be ideal.
