Used toilet and shower blocks for sale
Site WC and shower units, single or multi-cubicle, mains fed or tank fed. Including container-based blocks where security matters.
Second hand toilet blocks and used shower units for construction sites, events and yards. Portable toilets in the site sense — plumbed units in a cabin shell, not single chemical cubicles.

Services first, unit second
With almost every other type of cabin you can decide on the unit and work out the services afterwards. Toilet blocks are the exception. Whether you have a water supply and a drain within reach determines what you can buy, and it is worth establishing before anything else.
If services are available, a mains fed unit is far less trouble. Connect it once and the only ongoing job is cleaning. If they are not, a tank fed unit works perfectly well but brings a servicing schedule and a running cost that people routinely underestimate, particularly on a busy site.

Formats
What comes up on the used market
| Format | Typical contents | Services needed |
|---|---|---|
| Single WC cabin | One cubicle, small wash basin | Tank or mains |
| 2 – 4 cubicle block | Cubicles plus wash trough | Mains preferred |
| Combined WC and shower | Cubicles, showers, changing area | Mains water, drainage, decent hot water capacity |
| Container conversion | Steel shell, fitted cubicles | As above; very secure, needs insulation checking |
| Welfare unit with WC | Canteen, drying and WC combined | See welfare units |
Water damage is the main reason these units come to the end of their life. A cheap unit with a soft floor around the cubicles is rarely the bargain it appears to be.
No catalogue — a conversation

Used stock turns over too fast for a price list to be honest for long. Give us the shape of what you need and we will tell you what we can put our hands on, what condition it is in and what it costs, with the transport priced separately.
If you have a unit to trade in against it, tick the box — part exchange usually improves the number in both directions.
- We will say if we cannot source it, rather than string you along
- Cabin and transport priced separately, so you can see both figures
- Refurbishment to your spec is usually possible before delivery
Questions about toilet and shower units
What is the difference between mains fed and tank fed?
A mains fed unit connects to a water supply and a drain, and once connected it looks after itself. A tank fed unit carries fresh water in and waste water out in tanks, which means no plumbing but regular servicing. Which is right depends entirely on whether services are available where the unit will stand.
How many cubicles do I need?
Site welfare guidance relates facilities to the number of people on site, and it changes with the type of work and whether there are separate facilities for men and women. Check the current requirement for your site rather than working from a rule of thumb — we can tell you what a unit contains, but we cannot tell you what your site needs.
Do you get shower units as well as toilets?
Yes. Combined units with WCs at one end and showers at the other are common, and are usually what larger or longer-running compounds want. Shower units place a much heavier demand on hot water and drainage than WCs alone.
What about container-based toilet units?
Converted shipping containers fitted out as WC blocks come up regularly and are worth considering. They are extremely robust and secure, though they can be colder and need the same water and waste arrangements as any other unit.
What should I check on a used WC unit?
Everything to do with water. Look for staining around cubicle bases, check the floor for softness, run every tap and flush every WC, and look under the unit for signs of leaks and frost damage to pipework. Water damage is what ends the life of these units.
Toilet blocks to move on?
We take these in regularly. Be straight with us about any water damage — it affects the price but it rarely stops us buying.
