Bidets
How to choose bidets
Format
First, decide between a wall hung or back to wall bidet, both found under Toilets & Bidets, based on wall structure.
Colour
Next, pick a colour: white suits classic baths, while matt greige or matt cappuccino suits modern schemes.
Material
Material matters: ceramic and porcelain are standard for the bidet body, but brass appears in Plumbing Fixtures and Hardware.
Scope
Consider whether you need a full bidet (Toilets & Bidets) or separate Plumbing, Plumbing Fixtures and Hardware items.
Finish matching
Match the finish across sub-types, as a matt black bidet with a brass tap changes the room feel.
What's good
- Wall hung bidets (a type in Toilets & Bidets) free up floor space and make cleaning the bathroom floor easier.
- Back to wall bidets hide the plumbing, leaving a plain front panel.
- Matt colour options like matt cappuccino or matt grey blend with contemporary suites better than plain white.
- Ceramic and porcelain bodies resist daily stains and are simple to wipe down.
- Brass fixtures (under Plumbing Fixtures or Hardware) let you match tapware to other bathroom brass.
Things to watch
- Wall hung bidets need a reinforced wall or frame, which adds install complexity.
- Back to wall models require accurate plumbing alignment, or the unit sits proud of the wall.
- Matt dark colours such as matt black or black show limescale from water deposits.
- Brass fittings need periodic polishing to keep their tone, unlike ceramic bodies.
- Porcelain and ceramic bidets are heavy, so moving them is a two person job.
Care & maintenance
Regular wipe
Wipe ceramic and porcelain surfaces with a soft cloth and neutral cleaner after use.
Matt care
Treat matt finishes with mild detergent only, as abrasives scratch the surface.
Brass upkeep
Polish brass fixtures occasionally to prevent tarnish.
Fixings check
Check hidden fixations on wall hung units every few months to ensure they stay secure.
