Toilet Bowl Bidet Attachment | Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment | Bidet Attachment For The Toilet
Fits under the seat you already have
A bidet attachment is a thin panel that sits between your toilet pan and your existing seat. Turn the dial and a nozzle swings out under the bowl; turn it off and the nozzle retracts.
It is the middle option. A hand held sprayer is cheaper and more flexible, but you aim it. A powered bidet seat does more, including warm water and drying, but it replaces your seat and needs a socket beside the toilet, which most European bathrooms do not have.
What it is made of
This category is full of products that are moulded plastic end to end, so the specification is worth reading. Ours has an ABS housing, a brass T-adapter, a braided steel hose, and valve cores in metal and ceramic.
Ceramic discs are what modern taps use, and they are the reason a tap still shuts off cleanly after years rather than weeping. On a fitting that holds mains pressure permanently, that is the difference between one that lasts and one that drips into the pan.
Fitting it
Unbolt your existing seat, lay the panel on the pan, and bolt the seat back on top. The water side is the same in-line T-adapter used by our hand held sprayers: isolator closed, T between the flexible supply and the cistern inlet, hose along to the panel. Allow half an hour.
Nothing is cut and nothing is permanent, so it all comes off again if you move.
The water is cold
Worth saying plainly rather than leaving you to discover it. The feed that fills your cistern is the only water at a toilet. Most people stop noticing within a week, and if warm water is what you actually want, the product for that is a powered bidet seat.
