Prices JUST UPDATED. Ballpark figures, rounded, excluding VAT. They reflect typical South African toilet, shower and sanitation hire rates. They are not our prices or quotations, and no provider is bound by them. Confirm what each quotation includes, such as delivery and collection, how often the unit is serviced, consumables and the minimum hire period.
What a Stand Includes
- One or two basins. Two sided units serve twice as many people in the same footprint.
- A fresh water tank. Usually 50 to 100 litres, which is a few hundred uses.
- A foot pump. No power needed, and nothing to touch with wet hands.
- Soap and paper towel. Dispensers mounted on the unit, restocked on the service visit.
- A waste water tank. Collects the grey water, emptied on service.
- A bin. For the towel, which is otherwise on the ground within an hour.
Where They Are Needed
- Beside the toilets. The obvious one, and the ratio most people get wrong.
- At food stalls and caterers. Where health inspectors look first at any market or festival.
- On construction sites. Beside the units, and the part of the facility an inspection asks about.
- At entrances. Common at public events and schools.
- In food production and agriculture. Packhouses, harvest crews and seasonal operations.
How Many to Order
- One per two or three toilet units. The usual event ratio, and more where food is served.
- One per food stall. Many municipalities expect this at a market and some require it.
- One per toilet cluster on site. Rather than one for the whole site at the far end.
- Spare capacity for a hot day. Water use rises sharply and tanks empty faster.
- Sanitiser points as well. Cheap, and they take pressure off the basins at peak.

Get the Best QuoteWhat Affects the Price
- How many stands. They are light, so several on one delivery costs little more than one.
- Single or double sided. A double basin unit is the better value at any volume.
- The hire period. An event day, a weekend or a standing monthly hire.
- Refills. A busy day empties a 50 litre tank, and the refill visit is charged.
- Consumables. Soap and towel are bundled in some quotes and itemised in others.
- Distance. Transport, as on every unit, and usually bundled with the toilets.
What to Include in Your Request
- How many stands. And whether single or double sided.
- What they are for. Toilets, food stalls, site use or an entrance.
- The dates. A day, a weekend or a monthly hire.
- Expected numbers. Which decides how many refills you will need.
- Where they will stand. And whether a vehicle can reach them to refill.
- The address. Suburb and town.
Before You Order Wash Stands
- Order them with the toilets. One delivery, one supplier, and usually a better price than hiring separately.
- Ask the tank size. 50 litres is a few hundred uses, which a busy market gets through by lunchtime.
- Confirm who refills. And what a mid-event refill costs.
- Check that consumables are included. Soap and paper towel are small money and a large annoyance when missing.
- Put one at every food point. It is often a condition of the event permit.
- Ask where the grey water goes. A tank the supplier empties, or a drain on site.
Hand Wash Station Hire FAQs
How many hand wash stands do I need?
A common event ratio is one stand for every two or three toilet units, and one at every food stall on top of that. On a construction site, one beside each cluster of units. The mistake is to order one for the whole site, which means nobody walks to it.
Do they need water or power?
Neither. The stand carries its own fresh water tank and works off a foot pump, which is why it can go anywhere. It needs refilling, and the used water collects in a tank that is emptied on the service visit.
How long does a tank last?
A 50 litre tank is roughly 250 to 400 hand washes. At a busy market or a hot day event that is a morning. If the event runs all day, order a refill visit rather than hoping, or take double sided units with larger tanks.
Is sanitiser enough instead?
Not where food is handled, and not after toilet use. Sanitiser is a useful supplement at peak and a poor substitute: it does nothing for visible soiling and it is not what a health inspector is looking for at a market.
Are they required at a market or festival?
Many municipalities require hand washing at food points as a condition of the event permit, and the detail varies by metro. Check the permit conditions, because it is one of the cheapest things on the quote and one of the easiest to be stopped over.
Can I hire one without toilets?
Yes. Packhouses, harvest crews, schools and food production sites hire them on their own, usually monthly. The rate is low and the main cost is the delivery, so a single stand on its own delivery is worth comparing against a monthly standing hire.
Wash stands are hired alongside almost every unit the suppliers on Toilet Rental South Africa quote for, and they cost very little to add.
