get a rasied loo seat or a good builder christine

I'm in the process of having our bathroom re-done and asked the plumber about a higher loo.

The existing seat raiser is a horrible plastic one which I can't unscrew to remove to clean the loo. I can't put the lid down either. He suggested raising the existing loo up on a plinth, but instead he's found a 500mm high (to seat) loo for about £375 plus VAT. Actually thinking about it, I didn't ought to pay VAT on it, or maybe they would argue its not specifically for a disbaled person? The other option he put to me was one of those loos that hang off the wall, similar to a basin? You can put those at whatever height you like.

I remember seeing the photos when you put them up for us, Jenni. Do you have one showing the plinth, so Lynn can see how good it looks? It sounds very much like Gwenda's.
