    Hello @Indbeyaz0

    What a pain! I'm sorry the changes to your bathroom don't quite meet your needs. Can you get in touch with the people who installed it or arranged for the installation as they should be able to make adjustments. It might be as simple as adding a grab bar near the toilet for extra stability and support. 

    Hopefully they'll be able to sort this out quickly for you.

It's disturbing, I don't know what I should do, will they change it when I tell them, I don't know what I should say.

    Hi @lndbeyaz0, there's no harm in asking :) 

    If you explain to them that the toilet setup they've put in isn't safe for you to use and is causing you problems, hopefully they can find a better solution for you.
