Toilet Options for Your Bathroom Remodel:
Kohler, Gerber, American Standard, and TOTO
Choosing a toilet is about more than finding one that fits the room. You want a seat that feels right, a style that works with your bathroom, and a model that fits your budget. A simple two-piece toilet may be all you need. A one-piece or skirted toilet can give the room a cleaner look and make the outside easier to wipe down.
At JS Bath & Remodeling, we help you choose a toilet that works with your room, your needs, and your budget. Below, we cover Kohler, Gerber, American Standard, and TOTO, in that order, moving from our lower-cost starting choices toward more premium options. Prices for individual models can overlap between brands.
Each toilet is labeled on a scale from $ to $$$$, and the options within each brand run from the lowest to the highest price tier.
- $ — Budget: Our lowest price tier.
- $$ — Mid-range: A step up in price, with more design choices.
- $$$ — Premium: Higher-priced options with added style or design features.
- $$$$ — Top tier: The highest price tier among the toilets listed here.
These labels help you compare costs. They are not fixed prices and do not include installation. Not every brand shown has an option in all four tiers.
Kohler Toilet Options
Kohler is a good place to start when you want a range of looks within one brand. The Kingston and Highline keep the design simple at the $ tier. At $$, the Santa Rosa offers a joined tank and bowl, while the Memoirs Stately adds a classic look. The $$$ Corbelle brings a smooth skirted base into the mix.
That range lets you choose based on the room you want to build. A plain toilet can blend in and let your tile or vanity stand out. A more detailed model can help tie a classic bathroom together. For a room with clean lines, a smooth base may be the better match. Our team can help you weigh those choices against your full remodel budget.
Kohler Kingston — $
The Kingston is a simple choice for a homeowner who wants to keep costs down. Its plain look works well when you want the vanity, tile, or shower to stand out. Confirm the bowl shape and height of the exact model before ordering.
Kohler Highline — $
The Highline is another starting option for a straightforward bathroom remodel. It has a familiar look that fits many rooms. This is worth comparing with the Kingston when you want a basic toilet and would rather put more of the budget into other finishes.
Kohler Santa Rosa
One-Piece — $$
The Santa Rosa joins the tank and bowl in one piece. That removes the joint between them and gives the toilet a more flowing shape. It is a good option to consider when you want a simpler-looking fixture without moving into the highest price tier.
Kohler Memoirs Stately
Two-Piece — $$
The Memoirs Stately has more detail around the tank and base. Its classic shape pairs well with framed mirrors, detailed trim, and furniture-style vanities. It is a useful choice when you want the toilet to match a traditional bathroom design.
Kohler Corbelle
Skirted Toilet — $$$
The Corbelle has a smooth skirt around the base. This covers the shaped drain path you see on many standard toilets, leaving fewer outside curves to clean. Consider it if a neat, finished look is high on your list.
Gerber Toilet Options
At JS Bath & Remodeling, we offer Gerber choices from $ through $$$$, covering all four price tiers shown here. The Maxwell Choice and Viper Edge give you two starting options. The $$ tier adds the Avalanche two-piece and the skirted, one-piece Sedria. Higher tiers include the Wicker Park designs and Avalanche CT.
This makes Gerber worth a look when you want to compare several styles at different price points. You do not have to reach the top tier to get a one-piece toilet or a smooth base. The Sedria, for example, offers both at $$. We help you decide which features will make a real difference in daily use, then compare the models that meet those needs.
Gerber Maxwell Choice
Two-Piece — $
The Maxwell Choice is a basic option for a simple bathroom update. Its tank and bowl are separate pieces. Start here if you want a familiar toilet shape and a lower price tier.
Gerber Viper Edge
Two-Piece — $
The Viper Edge is another entry-level choice among the options we offer. Compare its shape and exact dimensions with the Maxwell Choice rather than choosing by price alone. The right fit and seat height matter each time you use the bathroom.
Gerber Avalanche
Two-Piece — $$
The Avalanche moves into the next price tier while keeping a two-piece design. It gives you another option to compare before paying more for a one-piece or covered-base toilet. Check the exact version for height, bowl shape, and included seat.
Gerber Wicker Park
Two-Piece — $$$
The Wicker Park two-piece is a step up among the options we offer. It suits homeowners who want to give the toilet more attention as part of the room’s design. Compare it with the one-piece Wicker Park to decide which look you prefer.
Gerber Avalanche CT One-Piece Concealed Trapway — $$$
This Avalanche CT has a one-piece tank-and-bowl design and a covered drain path. That gives it a smoother outside shape than a toilet with an exposed trapway. It is another way to get a finished look without choosing the highest tier.
Gerber Wicker Park
One-Piece — $$$$
The Wicker Park one-piece is our highest-priced Gerber choice shown here. Consider it if you prefer its full shape and want a one-piece toilet. The extra cost should buy a look or feature you value, rather than simply a higher rating.
American Standard Toilet Options
American Standard gives you several ways to move from a basic toilet to a more finished look. We start with the $ Cadet and Champion 4 two-piece models. At $$, you can choose a skirted Cadet 3, a one-piece Loft, or a one-piece Champion 4. The $$$ Town Square adds a more detailed style.
You also have the chance to compare the Champion 4 in both two-piece and one-piece forms. You can weigh the shape and price of each before choosing. The Loft and Town Square also give you different style paths: one suits a simple, modern room, while the other fits a more classic design. We match the exact model to your space and goals.
American Standard
Cadet Two-Piece — $
The Cadet two-piece is a simple starting point for a bathroom remodel. It is worth considering when you want a plain fixture that blends into the room. Check the model number, since the Cadet name covers several versions.
American Standard
Champion 4 Two-Piece — $
The Champion 4 two-piece is another lower-tier option among the options we offer. Compare the exact model with the Cadet for size, seat height, and flushing details. Those points are more useful than judging only from a showroom photo.
American Standard Cadet 3 Skirted Two-Piece — $$
This Cadet 3 adds a smooth skirted base while keeping the tank and bowl as two pieces. It suits homeowners who want fewer outside grooves to wipe down but still prefer a two-piece toilet.
American Standard
Loft One-Piece — $$
The Loft has a one-piece design with a more modern feel. Consider it for a bathroom with simple tile, clean lines, and a sleek vanity. Its joined tank and bowl also remove the seam between those parts.
American Standard
Champion 4 One-Piece — $$
This option gives you the Champion 4 in a one-piece form. Compare it with the two-piece version if you like the line but want a smoother tank-and-bowl shape. Confirm the exact model’s size and features before making the choice.
American Standard Town
Square Two-Piece — $$$
The Town Square has a more defined, detailed style. It can work well with a classic vanity or a bathroom with strong square shapes. Check the exact Town Square version, since the collection includes different designs.
TOTO Toilet Options
At JS Bath & Remodeling, we offer the following TOTO options from $ to \(. The Entrada gives you a basic two-piece starting point. The $$ Aquia IV adds a skirted base and two flush choices. At\), the Ultramax II, Nexus, and Carlyle II offer one-piece designs, with skirted bases on the listed Nexus and Carlyle II models.
These choices are worth comparing when a smooth shape and easy outside cleaning are high on your list. Start with the Entrada if you want the lowest-priced TOTO option shown here. Move up only when the shape or added features suit your needs. If a bidet seat is part of your plan, we also check the seat fit and power needs early so they can be part of the room’s design.
TOTO Entrada Two-Piece — $
The Entrada is the starting TOTO option among the options we offer. It offers a simple two-piece shape for homeowners who want to consider the brand while staying near its entry price point. Check the bowl shape and seat height that fit your room.
TOTO Aquia IV
Dual Flush Skirted — $$
The Aquia IV has a smooth skirted base and two flush choices. It is worth comparing if you like a clean look and want dual-flush controls. Confirm the exact version and what comes with it, including the seat.
TOTO Ultramax II
One-Piece — $$$
The Ultramax II has a one-piece tank and bowl. It gives you a flowing shape without the tank-to-bowl seam of a two-piece toilet. Compare it with the skirted TOTO options if outside cleaning is one of your main goals.
TOTO Nexus
One-Piece Skirted — $$$
The Nexus we list here combines a one-piece design with a skirted base. It is a strong style choice for a clean, modern bathroom. Specify the one-piece version when ordering, because collection names alone do not identify every feature.
TOTO Carlyle II
One-Piece Skirted — $$$
The Carlyle II is another one-piece, skirted choice. Compare its shape and footprint with the Nexus to see which works best in your bathroom. If you want a bidet seat, check seat fit and power needs before the remodel begins.
Which Toilet Should You Choose?
The best toilet for your bathroom remodel is one that fits your space, feels good to use, and works with your budget. Start with the $ choices if you want to keep the fixture cost low. A simple toilet can still look right in a well-planned room. That may leave more room in the budget for the shower, vanity, or tile you want.
If you want fewer outside seams, compare the one-piece models. If you want fewer grooves around the base to wipe down, look at the skirted and covered-base choices. Those features can be worth paying for when they solve a daily need. A higher price alone does not tell us which toilet is best for your home.
For style, Kohler gives you choices from plain to classic. Gerber covers all four price tiers shown here. American Standard offers several one-piece and skirted choices at $$. TOTO gives you a basic starting model, a dual-flush option, and several one-piece designs. Each brand has a place on our list. We narrow the choices based on what matters to you.
Before we order, we check the room size, bowl shape, seat height, and rough-in—the distance from the finished wall to the drain connection. We also check door and drawer space, confirm whether a seat is included, and review the exact model’s flush features. If you want a bidet seat, we plan for its fit and any power needs. These small checks help avoid a fixture that looks good in a photo but does not work well in your room.
Our advice is to pick two or three models in your price range and compare them side by side. Think about comfort first, then cleaning and style. Our team can explain what changes when you move up a tier and help you choose features you will use. We also confirm current pricing before you make the final choice.
At JS Bath & Remodeling, we help homeowners in Somerville and across Somerset, Morris, and Hunterdon counties bring these choices into one bathroom design plan. From the toilet to the shower and vanity, we help the parts of the room work together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the dollar signs mean?
At JS Bath & Remodeling, we use them to show price tiers. More dollar signs mean a higher tier. They do not include installation or guarantee a fixed price.
Is a one-piece toilet better than a two-piece?
It depends on your needs. A one-piece has no joint between the tank and bowl. A two-piece may cost less. Compare the exact features and size of each model.
What is a skirted toilet?
It has a smooth cover around the base. This hides the shaped drain path and gives you fewer outside grooves to clean.
Does a more expensive toilet flush better?
Not always. Price can reflect the shape, finish, or added features. Compare flushing details for the exact models you are considering.
Should we choose a round or elongated bowl?
A round bowl may help in a tight room. An elongated bowl provides more front-to-back seat space. We check clearances before choosing.
Is a taller toilet best for everyone?
No. Some people find a taller seat easier to use, while others prefer a lower one. Choose a height that feels right for your household.
Can we add a bidet seat later?
Often, but fit depends on the toilet and seat. An electric seat also needs suitable power nearby. Plan for it early if it is on your wish list.
Is the toilet seat always included?
No. Some toilets include a seat and others do not. Check the exact package before ordering.
