Bao Toilet Suites

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.
