Collection: Toilet Accessories

Which type of toilet is best?

The best toilet depends on your space, style, and priorities:

• 
  Close-coupled toilets – The most common and cost-effective option. Easy to install and maintain, available in a wide range of styles.
  
• 
  Wall-hung toilets – Sleek, modern, and space-saving. Ideal for smaller bathrooms, with the cistern hidden in the wall.
  
• 
  Back-to-wall toilets – Conceal the cistern for a clean, minimalist look without fully wall-mounting.
  
• 
  Rimless toilets – Designed for hygiene, with no hidden rim for bacteria to collect.
  
• 
  Traditional high or low-level toilets – Perfect for period homes or bathrooms styled with a vintage touch.
  

How much should I budget for a toilet?

Toilets range widely in price depending on design and features:

• 
  Entry-level close-coupled toilets – from under £100.
  
• 
  Premium designs (e.g. wall-hung, rimless, designer brands) – up to £600 or more.
  

Don’t forget installation costs: typically £100–£400 depending on plumbing complexity. Unexpected adjustments to existing pipework can add to the total.

How easy is it to install a new toilet?

For straightforward replacements, confident DIYers may manage with the right tools. The basic steps include:

1. 
   Shutting off the water supply.
   
2. 
   Removing the old toilet and sealing the waste pipe.
   
3. 
   Positioning and securing the new toilet.
   
4. 
   Connecting water supply, cistern, and sealing around the base.
   

Professional installation usually takes 1–4 hours and costs from £80–£160. For new layouts, hidden cisterns, or wall-hung designs, we always recommend using a qualified fitter to ensure a safe, watertight finish.
