Default Raised Toilet

The message
from Peter Parry contains these words:

My parents are considering a new bathroom and my mother would benefit

something like 50 or 100mm.


I suggest you avoid Dolphin like the plague. Their reputation
precedes them and remains afterwards rotting in their vastly
overpriced tat. Most other "specialist" firms in this area are
similarly the spawn of a failed double glazing salesthing and her
horse trader spouse conceived on a mercury contaminated moor lit by a
radioactive lantern and fed on Pot Noodles from birth.


Is anyone aware of a toilet manufacturer that offers these as an
accessory to
their toilets or a firm that supplies spacers suitable for toilets in
general?


There is a pretty standard clip on adapter for any toilet bowl, a bit
like a standard seat but about 4" deep, to raise the seat position.
Your ;local Social Services Dept should have a catalogue of such
things - if you have no luck get back to me and I'll find you the
manufacturer.


That type of clip on makes it rather difficult to clean the toilet. There
is also a removable frame with an incorporated "riser" which is light and
very easy to move, which I think would be preferable.
