If you’re upgrading your bathroom, choosing the right basin and toilet comes down to space, style, and ease of cleaning. Here’s a simple guide to help you decide.

1) Toilet types: close-coupled vs back-to-wall

  • Close-coupled: popular, easy to fit, cistern visible

  • Back-to-wall: cleaner look, hides pipework, great for modern bathrooms

2) What is a rimless toilet?

Rimless toilets are designed to be easier to clean because there’s no rim for dirt to collect under. Many homeowners choose them for hygiene and a modern finish.

3) Basin styles: what suits your space?

  • Pedestal basins: classic look, good for smaller spaces

  • Countertop basins: modern style, works well with vanity units

  • Wall-hung basins: space-saving and easy to clean underneath

4) Quick tip: toilet seats

Toilet seats vary by shape and fixing position. If you’re replacing a seat, measure the pan length/width and the distance between fixing holes for the best fit.
