I recently had a bathroom makeover. While I spent hours picking out the perfect tiles and a stylish vanity, I completely underestimated the importance of toilet accessories. Accidentally slamming the toilet lid at 2 a.m. (waking up the entire household) and the wobbly paper toilet paper holder made me realize how much these small details matter. That’s when I started exploring toilet accessories.
In this blog, I will discuss different toilets and accessories you need to enhance the bathroom experience.
Best Toilet Accessories in the UK
Here is a list of essential toilet accessories in the UK.
1. Toilet Paper Holders
A toilet paper holder is an essential toilet accessory, but it does not have to be boring. Why not turn it into a decorative element? Simply choose the modern design that comes in a variety of finishes such as brushed nickel, matte black, or gold to match your bathroom décor. You may consider a freestanding holder for a minimalist look or a wall-mounted option for a space saving in a small bathroom or a cloakroom.
2. Toilet Brushes and Holders
A toilet brush is a necessity for maintaining hygiene, but it doesn’t have to be an eyesore. There are a variety of design and styles of toilet brush set with matching holders available that can enhance the overall look and feel of the bathroom. You can also look for the options with antimicrobial properties or easy-to-clean materials to ensure long lasting freshness.
3. Bidet Attachments
Bidets are gaining popularity worldwide for their hygiene and environmental benefits. Installing a bidet attachment or seat is a game-changer for your toilet experience. There are plenty of bidet options available in the UK, ranging from basic cold water models to high-tech options that come with heated seats, adjustable water pressure, and air dryness. You can choose the one according to your budget and personal preference.
4. Toilet Seat Covers
Toilet seats can create annoying sounds when closing the lid. Why not upgrade your toilet with a soft close lid? It prevents slamming by closing slowly. You may also look for heated toilet seats that can enhance comfort in colder months. We suggest choosing the polypropylene toilet seat material for easier cleaning and maintenance.
5. Toilet Tank Shelves
If you have a small bathroom or short on storage, a toilet tank shelf is a clever solution. These shelves sit on top of your toilet tank and provide a convenient spot for storing extra toilet paper, candles, or decorative items. You may also use it for other bathroom essentials. They’re perfect for the spaces where every inch of space counts.
6. Air Fresheners
No one wants a smelly bathroom! Toilet air fresheners come in various forms, from automatic sprayers to decorative diffusers. We suggest choosing a scent that complements your bathroom’s ambiance. Your options could be whether fresh linen, lavender, or citrus. For a more natural option, consider essential oil diffusers or bamboo charcoal bags.
7. Decorative Toilet Mats and Covers
Stylish toilet mats or covers can add a pop of colours and texture to your space. These accessories not only protect your floor but also tie the room’s design together. We suggest machine-washable options for easy cleaning and durability.
10. Toilet Pan Waste Connector
The toilet pan waste connector is a critical component for ensuring a leak-free connection between your toilet and the waste pipe. They are purely functional pieces and are available in a variety of sizes and materials to fit your requirements. PVC or flexible rubber toilet waste connectors are a common choice due to their durability. A high-quality waste connector ensures proper drainage and prevents unpleasant odors from escaping into your bathroom.
11. WC Push Button
If your WC push button is not working, then a replacement dual flush WC push button can be a stylish and practical choice. You may also need them along with a new back-to-wall toilet as a toilet accessory. They are available in variety of colours and finishes to match with your existing WC unit.
12. Wall-Hung Toilet Frame
Usually sold as a part of wall mounted toilet, wall hung toilet frame with a concealed cistern is an essential part of your toilet system. It is designed to fit within the wall, freeing up floor space and making cleaning easier. The dual flush mechanism promotes water efficiency, while the sturdy frame ensures durability. Pair it with a square plate for a polished, high-end finish.
13. Pan Fixing Kit
You will need to order a pan-fixing kit with a toilet to securely install the pan to the floor or wall. These kits include a variety of items, such as bolts, washers, and caps to help you complete the toilet installation quickly and efficiently. Proper toilet installation using the pan-fixing kit will prevent wobbling, leaks, and damage over time.
Ending Thoughts
Never underestimate the power of small upgrades, as they can transform your ordinary bathrooms into extraordinary ones. Take your time exploring a variety of toilet accessories available in the market and turn your bathroom into a more comfortable and stylish space.
