Bidet Buying Guide

A bidet can be added as a spray, a toilet-seat attachment or a separate ceramic fixture. Start with the installation you already have, then check water, power and space before choosing a format.

Choose the right type

• Bidet sprays are compact, but the hose, holder, isolation point and suitable backflow protection must be planned.
• Bidet toilet seats must match the toilet-pan shape and fixing points. Powered models also need a suitable electrical connection.
• Ceramic bidets need dedicated floor space, plumbing and a compatible mixer or tap set.

Measure before you order

Record the finished dimensions and compare them with the product drawing. Check:

• Available space beside or around the toilet
• Toilet-pan shape, length and fixing-hole spacing
• Water connection position and pressure
• Access to a suitable power point if the model requires electricity

Check compatibility and inclusions

• Confirm the bidet format suits the existing toilet or planned suite
• Check included hoses, valves, brackets and fixings
• Ask a licensed plumber to confirm plumbing and backflow requirements
• Use a licensed electrician for any required electrical work

Product inclusions and installation requirements vary. Use the individual product page and supplied documentation as the final reference. If information is missing, contact our team before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and follow the product instructions for nozzles, filters and hoses. Inspect flexible connections regularly and replace worn parts promptly.

Frequently asked questions

Will every bidet seat fit every toilet?

No. Pan shape, seat length and fixing-hole spacing vary, so compare the product dimensions before ordering.

Can I install a bidet spray myself?

Plumbing and backflow requirements vary. Confirm the proposed setup with a licensed plumber before installation.

Do all bidets need power?

No. Basic sprays and many ceramic bidets do not, while heated or electronically controlled seats usually do.
