High Level Toilets

Create a feeling of timelessness in your bathroom with our stunning range of traditional high level toilets. Here at Plumbworld, we know that modern toilets with advanced features can seem like the perfect addition to any bathroom, but we also know that classics can also create an iconic feel. If you’re looking for something a little different in your bathroom, something that will stand-out and make your guests talk (in a good way!) then shop our collection of gorgeous raised cistern toilets, designed to bring traditional charm into your bathroom. You can discover a collection of beautiful raised cistern toilets below, each exuding Victorian style and classic touches that will perfectly encapsulate traditional style. A high level toilet is uniquely designed to have the cistern fitted way up the wall with a classic pull chain to operate it, whereas a low level toilet still has the cistern raised but not as high, using a lever to operate the flush. Both are joined to the pan using gorgeous pipework and are key to creating the authentic look for traditional bathroom suites.

A raised cistern toilet (also known as a high level toilet) is often a traditionally styled toilet where the cistern is placed high above the toilet pan on the wall. These beautifully classic toilets offer an authentically classic feel, perfect for homes where modern minimalism is a no-go and traditional style triumphs. With toilets from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers, including Park Lane, you’re sure to find the perfect toilet for your home.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a touch of modern luxury from time to time, and that’s why these raised cistern toilets also indulge in a little extra, including soft close toilet seats for added comfort.

When you purchase one of our beautiful Traditional Raised Cistern Toilets, you’ll receive free delivery, along with a fantastic guarantee for some extra peace of mind.

What is the difference between a high level and a low level toilet, and which one will suit your bathroom style?

A high level toilet has the cistern mounted way up the wall and is operated by a classic pull chain, creating an iconic Victorian look, whereas a low level toilet still raises the cistern but closer to the pan and uses a lever. If you want an unmistakably traditional statement, a high level model will give you the authentic period feel; if you like a traditional vibe but need something less vertical, a low level gives a similar look with a subtler silhouette. Both styles are joined to the pan with exposed pipework to complete that vintage character.

What sizes do these raised cistern toilets come in and is there a taller "comfort" option?

Most of the range lists pan heights in the 301–400 mm bracket and a typical pan width of about 360 mm, so they fit much the same footprint as standard toilets while giving the high-cistern look. There is also a Comfort Height option in the Hudson Reed Richmond line if you prefer a slightly taller seat for easier use. If you need an exact measurement for a particular model, the product product information will show the pan height and width for that item.

Do these toilets come with soft-close seats and what colour options are available?

Yes, some models, such as the Hudson Reed Richmond range, include a soft‑close seat for quieter, gentler closing. RAK Ceramics’ Washington range offers several seat colour choices including black, greige, grey and white, while the Hudson Reed options include sand finishes, so you can either match or contrast the seat with the pan. a black seat on a white pan creates a striking period-meets-modern accent, whereas sand or greige blends with a warm, traditional palette.

Will a raised cistern toilet work with a modern bathroom design?

Absolutely, while these toilets are rooted in Victorian styling, they can act as a striking focal point in an eclectic or contemporary scheme, especially when paired with subtle modern touches like a soft‑close seat. The mix of classic exposed pipework and contemporary conveniences lets you keep traditional character without sacrificing comfort. If you want the authentic silhouette but not a full period restoration, pick a refined colour and modern seat to bridge the two styles.

Why do prices vary between models in this range and what are you paying for?

Price differences reflect brand, features and finish options, Hudson Reed Richmond models sit at a lower price point and include a soft‑close seat, while the RAK Ceramics Washington models are included in our range at a lower price point and offer multiple seat colour choices. You’re often paying more for premium ceramics, additional colour or seat options, and the specific design detailing that gives a model its finish. If budget matters, the Hudson Reed options give authentic looks with soft‑close comfort; if you want a particular colour finish or a higher‑spec ceramic, the higher price brackets cover those extras.
