The toilet bowl in one bathroom broke, a heavy item smashed it.
It is a traditional Trent brand. The separate cistern is fine, the sea is fine too, I just need the bowl.
I have looked around a bit but has not found this specific model.
Any idea where I can find it? Either new or a clean old one.
I just need the same item so the installation is easy.
Thanks,
Antoni

If the cistern is separate i.e. there is some sort of pipe between the cistern and bowl then a generic bowl (from £25) will fix things.
If you meant it is separate in the sense of it's a separate piece of ceramic-ware then things are more difficult.
Option 1) replace cistern and bowl from around (£75 up). 2) Go to a real Plumbing shop get out the trent catalogue see if you can identify the model. You may find the model/style/type number on the inside of the lid and/or the underside of the bowl. You _may_ be able to order the bowl separately. 3) Carefully note the coupling method of the parts. Commonly two bolts holding elongated diamond shaped plate sealed by a rubber doughnut or small quoit. Note the distance from the flush inlet centre to the rear wall. Choose a new pan from a catalogue that shows all the sizes. 4) If the bowl is coloured... as above but 10x the hassle.

There are a lot of 'retro' styles about so just because it looks old, doesn't mean it is old.
Thank you for your detailed explanation.
It is separate cistern but attached to the pan, your option 2.
Fortunately it is white.
I am in contact with Trent Bathrooms and hopefully I will be able t find the right bowl.
Thank you for pointing out the coupling method, I will find ou dimensions and shape and will make sure.
Regards,
Antoni

Expect to have to renew the coupling and doughnut as a matter of course.
Friday night vindaloo?
