What is a Close Coupled Toilet?
A toilet with the cistern (the water tank) sitting directly on the back of the bowl forms one compact unit. This smart design helps to save space and hides plumbing connections, giving the bathroom a neat and tidy look. It was created to offer a more practical and stylish solution compared to older, bulkier toilet designs, making bathrooms easier to clean and more modern in appearance. Because this type is simple to fit and comes in many different styles, it has become a popular choice for homeowners, builders, and anyone updating a bathroom.

Key Features to Look For
Our collection is carefully curated to offer models with thoughtful features designed to enhance daily comfort, efficiency, and hygiene.
Dual Flush Mechanisms
Introduced to promote greater water conservation, dual flush technology gives you the choice between a full or half flush, depending on the amount of water needed. This not only helps to reduce household water bills but also supports more sustainable living by conserving a precious natural resource.
Soft-Close Seats
Developed to solve the common issue of heavy, noisy toilet seat slamming, the soft-close mechanism brings a quieter, more comfortable experience to your bathroom. It helps prevent accidental damage to both the seat and the toilet pan, extending the lifespan of your fittings. Many models in our collection also feature a UF (Urea-Formaldehyde) seat cover, crafted from a durable, scratch-resistant material that maintains its smooth, clean look over time. This combination not only adds a sense of everyday luxury but also ensures lasting quality and ease of maintenance.
Rimless Technology
Traditional toilets with rims often made thorough cleaning difficult, with hidden spaces where dirt and bacteria could accumulate. A rimless close coupled toilet is designed to eliminate these hard-to-reach areas, offering a far more hygienic solution. With smoother surfaces and direct-flush technology, rimless toilets make cleaning quicker, easier, and more effective — ideal for maintaining a fresher, healthier bathroom with minimal effort.
Back to Wall Options
Some of our toilets come in back to wall designs, where the toilet is positioned flush against the wall to conceal pipework and create a sleek, modern look. A back to wall close coupled toilet is perfect for achieving a minimalist aesthetic while also making the bathroom easier to clean and maintain, thanks to fewer exposed surfaces and hard-to-reach gaps.

Premium Material and Finishes
Our toilets are crafted from robust, high-grade ceramic, chosen for its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to everyday use. To achieve a flawless final look, each piece is finished with a smooth layer of Vitreous China, renowned for its brilliant white shine and easy-to-clean properties. This high-gloss surface is not only visually appealing but also non-porous, helping to maintain hygiene and prevent staining over time. The combination of these superior materials ensures that every toilet offers both long-lasting performance and a polished, elegant appearance, making it a perfect addition to any modern or traditional bathroom setting.
Cistern Options for Greater Flexibility
Many of our close coupled toilets come complete with a cistern featuring a dual flush system, allowing you to manage water usage more efficiently. Dual flush cisterns offer two options: a lower-volume flush for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste, helping you conserve water and lower utility bills.
Some models, however, are supplied without a cistern, giving you the flexibility to pair the toilet pan with a compatible cistern of your choice. This is ideal if you prefer to match specific features, select a certain style of flush mechanism, or maintain consistent aesthetics across your bathroom suite.
Versatile Design Options to Suit Every Bathroom
Traditional Styles: Classic designs are ideal for period properties or those who favour a timeless look. A traditional close coupled toilet often features gently curved edges, rounded bowls, lever flush handles, and decorative cisterns that sit beautifully within more traditional interiors, offering both elegance and dependable function.
Contemporary Styles: Sleek, angular designs with minimalist push-button flush plates complement modern bathrooms, where clean lines and subtle sophistication are key. These toilets offer a streamlined appearance without compromising on comfort or efficiency.
Cloakroom Toilets: For particularly compact spaces, close coupled toilets provide a smart solution, offering a space-saving design without compromising on comfort. Perfect for cloakrooms or smaller bathrooms, they allow you to maximise your available floor space while maintaining a stylish, functional look.
Installation and Care Tips
- Professional Installation: Although installation is straightforward, we recommend hiring a qualified plumber for perfect fitting and optimal performance.
- Routine Cleaning: Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to maintain the glossy surface without damaging the glaze.
- Check Flush Settings: Adjust the flush mechanism if necessary to ensure maximum water efficiency.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between a close coupled toilet and a back-to-wall toilet?
A close coupled toilet features the cistern mounted directly onto the back of the pan, forming one compact unit that’s easy to install and maintain. In contrast, a back-to-wall toilet has the pan positioned flush against the wall, with the cistern concealed inside the wall or a furniture unit. This creates a cleaner, more minimalist look by hiding pipework, but may require more involved installation.
2. Do close coupled toilets come with a soft-close seat?
Many of our close coupled toilets come complete with a soft-close seat, offering a quieter, more comfortable experience while also helping to protect the seat and pan from damage. Product details will clearly state whether a soft-close seat is included.
3. How much space does a close coupled toilet require?
Close coupled toilets are designed to be space-efficient. On average, you’ll need a projection of around 600–700mm from the wall to the front of the pan. However, if you're working with limited space, we also offer compact models with shorter projections that are ideal for cloakrooms or smaller bathrooms.
4. How much water does a close coupled toilet use per flush?
Most modern close coupled toilets come equipped with a dual flush system. This typically uses around 6 litres for a full flush and approximately 3–4 litres for a half flush, helping to conserve water while maintaining effective performance.
5. What water pressure is required for a close coupled toilet to function effectively?
Close coupled toilets generally work well with low to medium water pressure systems. A minimum pressure of 0.5 bar is usually sufficient for standard operation, but some dual flush systems may benefit from slightly higher pressure for optimal performance. If you're unsure, it's always best to check the specific product requirements or consult a professional plumber.
