Why Choose a Small Toilet?
Small toilets are designed to maximise usable floor space in smaller rooms, making them a practical choice for cloakrooms, en-suites and compact bathrooms where every centimetre counts.
Many models in this range have a reduced projection from the wall, meaning they extend less into the room than a standard toilet, leaving more space for movement, doors to open freely and other fixtures to fit comfortably alongside.
Smaller doesn't mean lower quality. The toilets in this collection are made by leading manufacturers using full-size flushing mechanisms and durable ceramics, so you get the same long-term performance as a larger model in a more space-efficient design
Types of Small Toilets
The range covers several space-saving formats to suit different layouts.
Compact close-coupled toilets keep the familiar look of a traditional cistern-and-pan design but in a smaller overall size, making them an easy direct replacement in a small bathroom.
Back-to-wall toilets sit flush against the wall or against a furniture unit, hiding pipework and giving a cleaner finish in tighter spaces. Wall-hung toilets are mounted to the wall with the cistern concealed behind it, freeing up floor space entirely and making the room feel more open. Short-projection toilets are designed specifically for cloakrooms and narrow rooms, with a pan that extends less from the wall than standard models.
If you're going with a wall-hung or back-to-wall model, you'll also need a concealed cistern or WC frame to complete the installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is considered a small toilet?
Small toilets typically have a projection from the wall of around 600mm or less, compared to a standard projection of 650 to 720mm. Width is also reduced on some models, making them well suited to cloakrooms and tight spaces.
Will a small toilet still flush properly?
Yes. Small toilets use the same flushing systems as full-size models, including dual-flush options for water efficiency. The reduced size refers to the external footprint, not the internal mechanism.
What's the smallest toilet you can buy?
The smallest models in the range have projections from around 480mm to 550mm and widths from around 320mm to 360mm. These are designed for very compact cloakrooms where standard toilets won't fit.
Can a wall-hung toilet be fitted in any bathroom?
Wall-hung toilets need a solid wall or a supporting frame to take the weight of the pan and cistern. In stud walls, a concealed WC frame is fitted to provide the structural support.
Do small toilets cost more than standard ones?
Pricing varies by brand, format and finish rather than size alone. Some compact designs are at the more affordable end of the range, while wall-hung and rimless models tend to sit at a higher price point because of the cistern frame and ceramic detailing involved.
