Accessible Plumbing Solutions for Raised Toilets & Bidets
Accessible Toilet and Bidet Installation in Melbourne
For many people, standard toilets and bidets are simply too low to use comfortably and safely. For taller people, people with mobility requirements, and anyone needing an ambulant toilet or bidet, the correct installation height can make a significant difference to everyday independence.
Our accessible plumbing solutions allow toilets and bidets to be raised to a more suitable height without necessarily requiring extensive alterations to existing plumbing.
A custom-made raised plinth, called The PZee, can be installed beneath your chosen toilet or bidet, creating a stronger, more practical and compliant alternative to makeshift solutions such as MDF.
The right height for your toilet or bidet
Not every bathroom is designed around the user's accessibility requirements. Standard toilet suites and bidets can leave people struggling with sitting down, standing up and transferring safely.
A professionally installed raised toilet or bidet can help provide:
A more suitable seating height for taller users
Improved accessibility and ease of transfer
An ambulant toilet or bidet installation
A practical solution when existing plumbing is difficult to relocate
A purpose-built alternative to MDF or other unsuitable materials
A customised installation to suit your chosen bathroom fixture or toilet
Accessible Bidet Plumbing & Installation
We can work with a wide range of toilets and bidets, including products supplied by The Bidet Shop.
Whether you're looking at a Throne Prince or Throne King, another bidet toilet from The Bidet Shop's range, or a conventional toilet or bidet, we can assess the installation and determine the best way to achieve the required height.
This means you don't necessarily have to compromise on the toilet or bidet you want simply because it sits too low for your needs.
Working with existing toilet wastes
Raising a toilet or bidet can also be a practical way to work with an existing toilet waste position. Rather than automatically modifying or relocating plumbing pipes, a raised installation can sometimes provide the additional height required while retaining the existing waste connection.
Every bathroom is different, so we assess the toilet, bidet, waste position, floor and required finished height before recommending the appropriate solution.
A Better Alternative to Concrete Toilet Risers
MDF is sometimes used by plumbers as a simple way to raise a toilet. However, MDF is not an ideal material for a wet-area bathroom application. It can absorb moisture, swell and deteriorate over time.
A purpose-built raised plinth is designed specifically for bathroom conditions. The material used is non-porous, antibacterial and antifungal, providing a durable foundation beneath the toilet or bidet.
When correctly installed, it is designed to provide a stable, long-lasting solution without the cracking issues that can occur with porcelain.
Custom-Made in Melbourne, Victoria
Every accessible toilet and bidet installation is different. That's why raised plinths are custom made in Melbourne, Victoria, to suit the specific toilet or bidet being installed and the height required.
From conventional toilets through to modern bidet toilets and products such as the Throne Prince from The Bidet Shop, we can help you determine the most appropriate accessible plumbing solution for your bathroom.
We can ship the raised plinth anywhere in Australia.
