Raising the height of the toilet may make it easier to manage. This section includes:

  • a range of raised toilet seats which fit on top of the toilet bowl and can be removed if not required
  • toilet plinths which fit between the floor and the toilet pedestal and raise the overall height of the toilet on a permanent basis.

Help and advice

If children are using the same toilet a raised toilet seat may make it too high for them to use and the extra height may be a safety hazard for them. If there are no other toilets in the house that they can use consider an easily removed raised toilet seat or a moveable platform in front of the toilet for them to step onto.1

Our advice page on Toilet Height provides further advice and information.

The ideal toilet height and equipment most suited to you will depend on your needs, and your personal measurements. For individual assessment and information contact your local social services and ask to arrange an assessment with an occupational therapist.
