Wash And Dry Toilets | Design & Fit Across Yorkshire

What Is A Wash And Dry Toilet?

A wash and dry toilet is a combined WC, bidet and dryer in a single unit. Remote-controlled air and water temperature gently wash and dry the user after use, removing the need for toilet paper and reducing reliance on carers.

Wash and dry toilets are commonly recommended for people living with conditions such as arthritis, Parkinson’s, MS or reduced mobility.

Unlike a standard toilet or separate bidet, everything is integrated into one unit, making it safer, more comfortable and easier to use independently.

Designed For Independent Living

For many people, using the bathroom can become one of the most challenging daily tasks. A wash and dry toilet helps remove that difficulty, supporting safer and more dignified personal care.

These systems are particularly beneficial for:

> Wheelchair users

> People with reduced mobility or balance issues

> Individuals with arthritis or limited hand movement

> Those recovering from surgery or illness

You can explore more options on the disabled toilets page, including solutions designed specifically to support independent living.

Wash & Dry Toilets As Part Of A Disabled Bathroom

A wash and dry toilet is often installed as part of a wider disabled bathroom adaptation, ensuring the entire space works safely and effectively for the user.

> Transfer method (wheelchair, assisted or independent use)

> Toilet height and seat comfort

> Positioning of controls

> Douche functionality and adjustability

> Future-proofing for changing needs

Wash & Dry Toilet FAQ's

How much does a wash and dry toilet cost in the UK?

Wash and dry toilets typically cost between £2,500 and £6,000 for the unit, plus installation. The total cost depends on the specification, bathroom layout and any additional work required. Qualifying users may be eligible for VAT exemption.

Can I claim VAT exemption on a wash and dry toilet?

Yes. VAT exemption is available for users with a chronic illness or disability, including arthritis, Parkinson’s, MS and mobility-limiting conditions. Our team handles the VAT exemption declaration as part of your installation.

Do wash and dry toilets need a special electrical supply?

Yes. A wash and dry toilet requires a dedicated 230v electrical supply with a fused spur and RCD protection. Our installation team carries out all electrical work in line with current regulations.

What’s the difference between a wash and dry toilet and a bidet?

A bidet is a separate fixture. A wash and dry toilet combines the WC, bidet and dryer into a single unit, removing the need to transfer between fixtures – which is particularly important for users with limited mobility.

Can wash and dry toilets be fitted in any bathroom?

In most cases yes, provided there is sufficient space, electrical supply and plumbing. Our designers confirm feasibility during your free home survey.

How do you clean and maintain a wash and dry toilet?

Most wash and dry toilets feature self-cleaning functions, with douche arms that rinse automatically after each use. Routine maintenance includes descaling and occasional filter changes, which we explain fully during handover, and some models may also require commissioning and periodic servicing by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Are wash and dry toilets covered by a warranty?

Yes. All wash and dry toilets supplied by More Ability come with a manufacturer’s warranty (typically 2–5 years depending on the model), along with our installation guarantee, and we will also advise on any servicing requirements needed to maintain the warranty and ensure the product continues to perform as intended.
