VitrA V-Care 3 Smart Toilet Range | Now Available in the UK
3/5/2026Your Home Got Smart. One Room Missed the Memo.
Smart lighting, smart heating, smart appliances — and then there is the toilet, which has not changed meaningfully since your parents bought theirs. The VitrA V-Care 3 is the architectural product that closes that gap: a complete wall-hung smart toilet system, engineered precisely for UK bathrooms, now available in Base and Core configurations from stock.
What the V-Care 3 Actually Is
An Integrated System, Not a Seat Retrofit
The V-Care 3 is not a bidet seat. That distinction matters: it is a complete ceramic WC pan with the smart seat integrated natively from the factory — no visible join, no afterthought add-on, no clumsy bracket system clamped to a standard toilet. The ceramic and smart module are designed and manufactured as a single object, ensuring unparalleled long-term performance and aesthetic perfection.
It is manufactured by VitrA — a global ceramics powerhouse that has invested heavily in smart toilet engineering over the past decade. The V-Care 3 is their flagship result.
- Water supply: Cold only — the unit heats water internally, instantly on demand.
- Power: Standard 230V UK socket compatibility.
- Frame: Concealed WC frame, 3/6L dual flush highly recommended.
- Compliance: EN 1717 — meets strict UK mains backflow prevention standards.
- No hot water supply needed — at all.
The sleek, ergonomic remote — included with all V-Care 3 models.
Silent Vortex Flush & Family Modes
The Silent Vortex flush is significantly quieter than a conventional UK cistern — an audible difference, not a marginal one. Combined with a dedicated Silent Mode that reduces wash and dry operation noise, the V-Care 3 is perfectly suited to open-plan homes or en-suites adjacent to bedrooms.
Child Mode provides gentler spray settings and reduced pressure for younger users, making the V-Care 3 a whole-household upgrade rather than a luxury item for adults only.
Each household member can save their own preferred pressure, temperature, and spray settings via the V-Care mobile app. Profiles load instantly.
Engineered for Hard Water
For buyers in London, the South East, or East Anglia, this is the practical question that matters most: does a smart toilet survive UK water hardness?
VitrA Clean technology actively inhibits limescale formation on the ceramic surface. Furthermore, the built-in automated descaling programme keeps the internal water paths entirely clear and functional.
VitrA sells the V-Care 3 across southern Europe where water hardness matches or exceeds London levels. The system is engineered for hard water from the outset.
Three Tiers. One Honest Guide.

The Case for the Base
The V-Care 3 Base includes the entire hygiene platform — front and rear washing, the stainless nozzle, instant water heating, adjustable wash parameters, Silent Vortex, VitrA Hygiene glaze, and VitrA Clean descaling. None of what it omits affects the fundamental experience of why people buy a smart toilet.
A heated seat is genuinely comfortable. A warm air dryer eliminates toilet paper entirely. But neither is a prerequisite for water-based personal hygiene. For a guest WC or a buyer working within a considered budget, the Base is not a compromise — it is a highly precise choice.

Shop V-Care 3 BaseWhy the Core Is the Superior Choice
The Core adds seven distinct features over the Base, and two of them change daily behaviour entirely: the heated seat and the warm air dryer. The warm air dryer renders toilet paper genuinely optional — it is frequently the feature buyers wish they had prioritised at the start.
The Microbubble Wash mode is also worth noting. Extremely fine air-infused droplets increase surface contact over a standard spray — delivering a deeper clean at lower pressure, particularly valuable for users with sensitive skin.

Shop V-Care 3 CoreAbout the Prime — and Why It Is Worth Knowing Now
The V-Care 3 Prime adds automatic lid open/close, UV-C sanitisation of both the bowl and nozzle, and auto-flush functionality. For users who want a genuinely hands-free system — the lid opens as you approach, the toilet flushes as you stand, and UV-C light sanitises between uses — the Prime is the ultimate specification.
The electrical socket, cold water stub, and concealed frame are first-fix items. All three V-Care 3 tiers have the exact same installation requirements — so the frame and services you put in today will support any tier, including the Prime, without modification. Specify the frame now; order the toilet when you are ready. Contact us to discuss your project timeline.

Yes. The V-Care 3 range is fully EN 1717 compliant, meeting rigorous European standards for backflow prevention and making it perfectly safe for connection to the UK mains supply. It is compatible with standard UK water pressure and does not require a pressure regulator in most residential installations.
No. Only a standard cold water supply is required. The V-Care 3 heats water internally, instantly on demand—there is no connection to a hot water cylinder or combi boiler. This significantly simplifies installation and removes a common barrier for UK bathroom renovations.
No. The V-Care 3 is a fully integrated system and must be installed with its compatible VitrA ceramic bowl and a concealed frame. It is not an add-on seat. If you are looking for a retrofit solution, please view our electric bidet seat range.
A qualified plumber or bathroom installer is required. The room needs: a concealed WC frame (3/6L dual flush recommended), a cold water supply stub, and a fused 230V socket within reach (typically positioned behind or beside the unit during first fix). All smart functions are pre-configured at the factory and ready to use once connected.
The automated descaling programme is activated from the remote control and should be run every 2–3 months—more frequently in high-hardness areas such as London, the South East, and East Anglia. It safely cleans the internal water paths without any need to disassemble the unit. The removable stainless nozzle tip can also be detached and cleaned by hand.
