By Renewable Partners B.V. · Published and updated:
A second floor-standing toilet in a separate toilet room earns 3 WWS points (2 in a bathroom). A second bathroom with shower and washbasin earns 4 + 1 = 5 points, plus any toilet. Each facility counts separately.
The valuations
Under the verified 2026 WWS rules: shower 4 points, bath 6, bath/shower combination 7, floor-standing toilet 3 (separate) or 2 (in bathroom), wall-hung toilet 3.75 or 2.75, and a washbasin in the bathroom 1 point.
- Separate floor-standing toilet: 3
- Shower: 4
- Washbasin in bathroom: 1
- Bath: 6
Worked example (fictitious)
A fictitious family home gets a second attic bathroom with shower, washbasin and wall-hung toilet: 4 + 1 + 2.75 = 7.75 points.
If the toilet is placed in a separate room next to the bathroom, it counts 3.75 instead of 2.75: 8.75 points in total.
What this means for you
Bathroom facilities are one of the few categories you can improve with a targeted intervention. Compare the cost with the points and your home’s segment threshold.
