The Fix
A Toto Washlet bidet seat sounds like a plumbing job, but it's really closer to swapping a toilet seat — it bolts to the same two mounting holes every standard toilet already has.
What the Install Actually Needs
A nearby outlet (most Washlet models are electric, with heated seats and dryers), the included T-valve that splits the existing water supply line, and about 15 minutes. No new plumbing lines, no cutting into walls.
Where People Get Stuck
Getting the mounting plate square before tightening it down — if it's crooked, the seat won't sit flush later. Loosely place the plate, set the seat on it to check alignment, then tighten.
Is It Worth It?
For the labor a plumber or contractor would charge to "install a bidet," doing it yourself in 15 minutes is one of the best time-to-savings ratios on the whole channel.
