Elegant compact design
The primary benefit of a combined WC toilet and basin unit is its space-saving design. Traditional bathrooms often have a separate toilet and basin, which can take up valuable space, especially in smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms.
A WC toilet and basin unit combines a number of benefits into one single piece of bathroom furniture. These kind of units feature toilet, basin and storage providing a clean, clutter-free look that is particularly well-suited to small bathrooms.
The combined unit optimises space by integrating these essential fixtures into a single, cohesive unit, making it an ideal choice for compact living spaces. As a result, this type of bathroom furniture represent a wise investment for homeowners considering a bathroom rennovation.

Which spaces are they most suitable for?
Incorporating combination units into smaller bathrooms is a smart space-saving choice, as these units boast remarkable compactness, a valuable advantage for creating your dream bathroom if space is at a premium. Their space-efficient design helps transform cramped spaces into functional and stylish bathrooms, enhancing the overall living experience.
Moreover, the basin unit's placement can be easily customised on either side of the toilet, with left and right hand options available in ranges offered by most online bathroom suppliers allowing for diverse bathroom configurations.

This setup eliminates the need for a separate handwashing station, freeing up more space for other bathroom essentials or creative design options.
But you don’t have to be short on space to add WC toilet and basin units to your shopping shortlist. These products offer more than just a space-saving solution. Also available in larger sizes, these versatile units can be used to just as good effect in bathrooms with ample space, presenting a practical and elegant choice for such settings.

The benefits of built-in concealed storage
The beauty of a combined WC toilet and basin is that you get the benefit of additional storage to keep your bathrooms essentials in easy reach, but out of sight with convenient concealed storage.
A combined WC toilet and basin vanity fitted unit is an excellent investment for maximising space and functionality in your bathroom. By measuring your bathroom space accurately, prioritising quality materials and considering water efficiency, you can make an informed decision when selecting the ideal bathroom furniture that combines the best of design and aesthetics with functionality and storage. Choose wisely, and transform your bathroom into a stylish and efficient space that meets all your needs while adding value to your home.
A clean bathroom look that is easy to keep clean
The clean look of a combined toilet WC and basin vanity unit is not just an aesthetic choice: they also make cleaning a breeze. Because the fixtures are integrated, there are fewer crevices and joints where dirt and grime can accumulate, so it takes minimal effort to keep your bathroom looking pristine.
How a toilet and basin combo can reduce water bills
Choose a combined unit with a dual-flush system to promote water conservation. The option for a full flush and reduced flush enables efficient water usage, benefiting both the environment and your utility bills. Look for units with water-saving certifications to guarantee maximum efficiency.
Buying your WC toilet and basin unit
The combined unit should seamlessly blend with your bathroom's existing décor and design theme. Explore various styles, finishes, and colours to find a unit that complements your space and enhances its overall aesthetics. Sleek and contemporary designs can add a touch of modernity to any bathroom.
To help you to find a unit that will fit with the colour and style of your bathroom, there’s a range of looks and finishes available, including white gloss and white matt, anthracite gloss, grey gloss, onyx grey gloss, graphite grey, indigo blue, oak effect, and many more…so you can match your WC toilet and basin unit to the rest of your bathroom to create your dream look.
Ensure that the basin is large enough for comfortable handwashing and that the unit's overall design fits your daily needs.
The durability and longevity of the combined WC toilet and basin unit are also essential factors to consider. Opt for high-quality materials that are resistant to stains, scratches, and water damage. A sturdy construction ensures that the unit can remain in great condition, even in the busiest of family bathrooms and ensuite spaces.

Measure your bathroom space
Before making any purchase, remember to accurately measure your bathroom space to determine the available dimensions for the combined unit. If you already have space for a separate toilet and basin, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be space for a combined toilet and basin unit. Even so, it is important to consider the width, height, and depth of the area where you plan to install the unit, allowing space for doors or drawers to open if you want to have storage space. Ensuring a proper fit is crucial for creating a seamless and clutter-free bathroom layout.
Deliver items to your home or Click and Collect?
Once you have purchased your items, you can then choose the delivery option that best suits your busy life. Most online bathroom suppliers, including The Bath House, offer free nationwide delivery to your home. Not online bathroom retailers offers a Click & Collect service, however, so if that is something that you are looking for, it is important to check before you order.
For example, VictoriaPlum.com is an online only retailer, and therefore does not offer this service. Whereas The Bath House has a Leicester bathroom showroom, enabling homeowners in Leicester and Leicestershire (and within driving distance of the city) to pick up their orders from the showroom. Learn more about our fast, efficient, hassle-free nationwide delivery service.
If you choose to have your bathroom products delivered to your home address, always remember to unpack and check all your products as soon as they are delivered. On the odd occasion that some items may be missing or damaged en route to you, it is easier to get issues resolved sooner rather than later.
