Hi babycakes, if you still have the old carpet, you could use it as a template.Draw round with a marker and cut a smidge bigger and try it.You can always trim bits off till it fits.

Lino is horrible to fit round toilets and corners unless you've got experience or lots of luck.

There is an easy way to lay lino round toilet pans but hellish to explain.

Get some paper - sorta A3 size or bigger and lay it close to the base.Gat a straight edge and scribe around the base - so it makes loads of straight lines that will intersect - giving you the exact shape.

Did that make sense?

Wow, wish I;d had time to check back here before we laid the lino together! It's not a perfect job but it's down, it fits well enough (and where it doesn't is covered by the mat thing hehehe) and most importantly I LOVE IT!!! )t'
Waiting to welcome Sunny Clucker to Northern Ireland!
