This guide to toilet installation cost covers what you can expect to pay when adding a new toilet to an existing or new bathroom.
Kitchen and bathroom remodel costs depend on your project and location. Check with a local pro for your specific job.
Bidet toilet seats cost $400 to $1,500 while stand-alone bidet units range from $500 to $1,500 for your bathroom upgrade.
Your bidet type determines the plumbing work required, with attachments needing only a water supply connection and stand-alone models requiring dedicated plumbing lines.
You should budget for plumber labor fees between $150 and $600 for bidet installation, based on time and access.
Hiring a local toilet professional ensures your bidet connects properly to existing water lines and prevents leaks that damage floors or walls.
In 2026, the national average cost for a bidet is $640, with most homeowners spending between $400 and $1,500. The spread depends on the type of bidet you choose, the complexity of plumbing required, and labor rates in your area.

The type of bidet you choose is the single biggest factor in determining your total project cost, with prices ranging from $40 for a basic handheld spray nozzle up to $2,000 for a full bidet toilet. Beyond the unit itself, installation complexity, plumbing requirements, and the need for electrical upgrades will shape your final budget.
Choosing among the variety of bidets available is the most significant cost factor for your installation, with options ranging from simple attachments to full toilet replacements. Entry-level handheld spray nozzles and bidet attachments sit at the affordable end, while bidet toilet seats and stand-alone units occupy the mid-range, and full bidet toilets represent the highest investment. The table below breaks down the average cost of different types of bidets:
| Bidet Type | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Stand-alone | $500–$1,500 |
| Bidet toilet | $1,200–$2,000 |
| Bidet toilet seat | $170–$650 |
| Bidet attachment | $80–$120 |
| Handheld spray nozzle | $40–$120 |
A stand-alone bidet is the original bidet style, resembling a standard toilet without a lid or tank, and is typically made of ceramic to sit adjacent to your toilet. Unit costs range from $500 to$1,500, plus around $220 for installation and plumbing materials. Because stand-alone bidets require dedicated plumbing lines separate from the toilet, you should also budget around $1,180 for that additional plumbing work, making this one of the more expensive bidet options overall.
A bidet toilet combines toilet and bidet functions in one unit, saving space and eliminating the need for dedicated plumbing lines, with prices ranging from $1,200 to $2,000 depending on features and materials. Basic models sit at the lower end of that range, while feature-rich units that help create a home spa bathroom—with built-in deodorizers, night lights, dryers, oscillating massage jets, and Bluetooth speakers—tend to push toward the top.
A bidet toilet seat fits like a standard seat but includes a wand and nozzles, making it easier to install and more affordable than a stand-alone bidet or a full bidet toilet combo. Prices range from $170 to $650. Basic models cost only a few hundred dollars, while feature-rich seats with oscillating nozzles, heated seats, night lights, water temperature controls, and pressure adjustment can exceed $600.
A bidet attachment is the most budget-friendly way to add bidet functionality to your bathroom, costing $80 to $120 and installing easily under the underside of a standard toilet seat, with a connection to the toilet's fresh water supply line. It requires no batteries or electrical connection, and some models also support warm water hookup for added comfort.
A handheld spray nozzle is one of the most affordable bidet options, priced at $40 to $120, consisting of a sprayer and a hose that attaches to the toilet's supply line and mounts to the side of the tank. It gives you direct control over the water stream and is easy to install, though it can be awkward to use for those with limited mobility.
Bidets come in two standard seat sizes: round seats at 17 inches or less and elongated seats at 17 inches or more, each designed to fit different toilet models. While you may occasionally see slightly higher prices for the elongated size, most manufacturers offer both styles at the same price point.
Brand name can signal quality materials, but features and customer reviews are more reliable guides when choosing a bidet. Prioritizing the specific features you want, such as water temperature settings or remote control, will point you toward the best fit more reliably than brand recognition alone.
Installation costs for a bidet depend on the type of unit you've chosen and whether your bathroom already has a GFCI outlet. Understanding these variables upfront helps you build a complete and accurate budget before work begins.
When you hire a plumber for bidet installation, expect to pay $45 to $200 per hour, depending on their experience. Most installations take 2 to 3 hours, putting total labor costs in the range of $90 to $600.
Most bidet types connect to your existing plumbing without requiring upgrades, using a T-valve or Y-valve to connect to the existing water supply line. This straightforward connection helps keep installation costs lower for most bidet models.
Bidets with electrical features such as instant hot water or a heated seat require a GFCI-protected outlet near the toilet to prevent electric shock if the outlet is exposed to water. If your bathroom doesn't already have one (identifiable by its "Reset" and "Test" buttons), installing a GFCI electrical outlet costs $130 to $300 and requires a licensed electrician.
Hiring a local plumber costs more upfront, but you benefit from faster results, less risk of leaks, and a professional finish. Pros bring specialized equipment and experience, making the process smoother and often saving you money in the long run.
Installing a bidet requires access to pipes and water, which can be costly to repair or replace if the bidet is installed improperly. Here are some of the top reasons to work with a pro:
Plumbers ensure toilets, pipes, walls, and floors aren’t damaged in the installation process.
They have the tools and materials needed to install the bidet safely and effectively.
Working with a pro ensures your bidet is installed accurately and without the need for adjustments or fixes down the line.
Bundling bidet installation with other bathroom services, such as toilet or shower head installation, can save on overall project costs.
If you want to take on some aspects of the project yourself, here are a few DIY tasks that can help save time and labor costs:
Remove furniture and decorations from the bathroom, including artwork and storage systems, before removal begins.
Turn off your water to make it easier for the pro to start working without having to do prep prior to installation.
Remove any old bidets or toilet accessories from the toilet prior to installation beginning.
Ask your pro to measure the space around your toilet and ensure there’s enough room for the bidet seat or attachment and its mounting bolts.
Decide between a bidet attachment, which fits under your existing seat, or a full bidet toilet seat.
Consider the cost of the bidet itself, plus the plumber’s labor fees, which vary depending on the project’s complexity.
Confirm the plumber can connect the bidet to your existing water line using a T-valve.
