Bao Toilet Suites
2 products
Bao toilet suites are a range of wall-faced and back-to-wall ceramic suites designed for Australian bathrooms where clean lines and practical function are the priority. The range focuses on rimless bowl technology, dual-flush cisterns, and soft-close seats as standard inclusions, removing the need to source components separately.
What Bao is known for
Bao produces a compact range of toilet suites built around a single design principle: a fully rimless bowl paired with a slim-profile cistern. Rimless construction eliminates the ledge inside the bowl where bacteria accumulate, making cleaning faster and more thorough. The suites ship with a soft-close quick-release seat, which simplifies hygiene maintenance and seat replacement without tools.
Key suite in the range
The Bao Elegant Universal Rimless Toilet Suite is the signature model. It is a wall-faced close-coupled suite with a concealed S-trap or P-trap rough-in, making it compatible with most existing Australian waste configurations without alteration. The pan measures approximately 680mm in length, suited to standard bathroom rough-in distances of 140mm to 200mm from the wall.
Flush performance and water ratings
Bao toilet suites use a dual-flush cistern rated to WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) requirements. The full flush typically delivers 4.5 litres and the half flush 3 litres, qualifying for a WELS 4-star rating. Over a year of average household use, a 4-star suite uses roughly 40% less water than an unrated cistern from the 1990s.
Finish and colour options
The current Bao range is available in a gloss white vitreous china finish. Vitreous china is fired at high temperature, producing a non-porous surface that resists staining and crazing over time. The gloss white finish coordinates with most Australian bathroom colour schemes and is compatible with chrome, brushed nickel, and matte black tapware. There is no matt or coloured finish in the current Bao offering.
Where Bao suites work well
Bao toilet suites are well-matched to renovation budgets where a clean, contemporary look is required without a high price point. The wall-faced profile conceals pipework behind the pan, which gives a neater finish than exposed-trap models without the cost of a full in-wall cistern installation. The compact pan length also suits bathrooms under 1500mm in depth where space is constrained.
Installation requirements
Installation requires a licensed plumber in all Australian states. The suite connects via a standard floor waste with an adjustable trap adaptor covering S-trap and P-trap rough-ins. The cistern is bottom-inlet fed. Rough-in distance should be confirmed before ordering: measure from the finished wall to the centre of the floor waste outlet. The Bao Elegant suite covers a rough-in range of 140mm to 200mm, which covers the majority of Australian new builds and renovations.
Comparing Bao to other toilet suite options at The Blue Space
Bao sits at the entry-to-mid price tier. For a broader range of sizes, flush ratings, and finish options, the full toilet suites collection includes options from Caroma, Fienza, and other brands with extended warranty coverage and a wider trap range. If you are planning a full bathroom renovation, the bathroom vanities collection and tapware range stock finishes that coordinate with the Bao white suite. For complete bathroom planning, see the bathroom mirrors collection to complete the space.
Frequently Asked Questions
What rough-in distance does the Bao Elegant Universal Rimless Toilet Suite suit?
The Bao Elegant suite covers a rough-in range of 140mm to 200mm from the finished wall to the centre of the floor waste outlet. This range covers most Australian new builds and renovation projects. Both S-trap and P-trap configurations are supported via the included adjustable trap adaptor, so no special floor modification is required.
Is the Bao toilet suite rimless and what does that mean for cleaning?
Yes, the Bao Elegant suite uses a fully rimless bowl design. Without the inner rim ledge found on traditional toilets, there is no hidden surface for bacteria or scale to accumulate. The entire inner bowl surface is reachable with a standard toilet brush, which reduces cleaning time and the need for strong chemical cleaners.
What WELS star rating do Bao toilet suites carry?
Bao toilet suites are rated to 4 stars under the Australian WELS scheme. The dual-flush cistern delivers a 4.5-litre full flush and a 3-litre half flush. A 4-star rating is one step below the maximum 6-star rating and represents a practical balance between flush power and water efficiency for residential use.
Does the Bao toilet suite include a seat, or is it sold separately?
The Bao Elegant Universal Rimless Toilet Suite includes a soft-close quick-release seat as a standard inclusion. The quick-release mechanism allows the seat to be removed without tools for thorough cleaning around the hinge area. No additional seat purchase is required, which is worth confirming when comparing prices across retailers.
What is the pan length of the Bao Elegant toilet suite and will it fit a small bathroom?
The Bao Elegant pan is approximately 680mm in length from the wall to the front of the bowl. This is within the compact range for close-coupled suites and is suited to bathrooms with a floor-to-opposite-wall or obstacle clearance of at least 900mm, which is the minimum recommended by the Australian standard HB 72 for accessible toilet layout.
