Wall-Hung or Floor-Mounted: Determine whether a sleek wall-hung toilet or a traditional floor-mounted one suits your bathroom’s aesthetics and structural possibilities.

Amara Helmsley Rimless Open Back Close Coupled Toilet

2. Outlet Configuration

Vertical or Horizontal: Consider the outlet direction that aligns with your plumbing setup for optimal functionality. Almost all toilets have a horizontal drain pipe these days but it is always best to double check to avoid unnecessary plumbing costs.

3. Water Efficiency

The lower the gallons per flush rating the less water will be consumed, and don’t be fooled even the slightest difference can make a huge saving to the amount of water used. Look for a toilet that uses least amount of water but produces a powerful flush.

4. Height Options

Classic, Comfort-Height, or Short: Tailor the height of your toilet to your comfort level and the needs of your household.

7. Shape

D-Shaped, Square, or Round: Choose a toilet shape that complements your bathroom design and personal taste. Many of our customers buy matching sanitaryware so that colour and shape co-ordinate.

Black, White or Coloured; Matt or Gloss: Personalize your space by selecting the perfect colour and finish that suits your overall bathroom theme.

9. Toilet Seat Features

10. Accessibility

If you need to make your toilet more accessible for you or a family member with changing needs, consider a taller toiler for ease of use, add grab bars to left or right if toilet if possible and think about the flushing mechanism, a lever mechanism on the front may be better or a push button on the top depending on needs.

With so many types of toilets, so many options, it could be pretty confusing when you are buying a toilet. Therefore, here is a simple toilet buying guide that will go through different types of toilets to give you a bit more direction.

Before you start

Have a good idea of your plumbing before you choose your new toilet. Especially the connection between your soil pipe and spigot. If your soil pipe and spigot are different heights, use a flexible pan connector to join them!

Note: The spigot is the spherical pipe at the end of your toilet pan that joins it to the soil pipe. All British toilets include spigots that are parallel to the floor. Depending on the toilet, this can either be connected to the soil pipe vertically or to the left or right.

Types of Toilets

A toilet is definitely essential for any bathroom, no matter it is big or small. Fortunately, nowadays a toilet can look stylish and be a design statement for your bathroom as well as perform their functional purpose.

Close Coupled Toilets

Vitra Essentials S50 Comfort Raised Height Toilet

These type of toilets comes with a cistern that fits on top of the pan. It usually has a dual flush button on the top, or you can choose to go with a lever handle. UK Bathrooms also offer options where you can adjust the flow of water. The main benefits of close coupled toilets are that it is normally much affordable and easier to install compared to other types of toilets.

Low-Level Toilets

Burlington Slimline Low-Level WC (440mm)

The cistern is mounted on the wall and connected to the pan via an exposed metal flush pipe. If you are creating a traditional or Victorian style bathroom, this will be your top choice.  Burlington Bathrooms and Imperial Bathrooms offer a wide range of traditional style toilets. In addition, you can choose the toilet seat colour to match your bathroom colour scheme.

High-Level Toilets

Imperial Radcliffe High-Level WC

High-Level toilets are similar to low-level toilets, but with the cistern sitting high up on the wall and with a very long exposed metal flush pipe. You can achieve an iconic periodic look effortlessly with high-level toilets. Furthermore, we offer matching basin and furniture pieces for your high-level toilets.

Wall Hung Toilets

Bauhaus Pier Short Projection Wall Hung Toilet

Wall hung toilets are a clever creation which is efficient to install. They help you get a clean and clutter free bathroom space. It doesn’t touch the floor, therefore, it gives the illusion of more space. This also makes your cleaning process much easier.  A wall hung toilet requires a wall mounting frame. This can deliver the best comfort as it allows you to hang the pan at your desired height (within reason). There is no worry of aftercare, as you can reach the cistern through the flush plate after the toilet is installed.

Back to Wall Toilets

Britton Cube Floor Standing Toilet

Back to wall toilets are visually minimal and modern. This type of toilets is a standard toilet pan that stands on the floor, with a hidden cistern in the wall or furniture unit. They are a great compromise for those who may not be able to install a wall hung pan, but still prefer the invisible cistern.
