Movie Set Bathroom Rentals

The world of film production is a complex and high-pressure environment where every detail matters. While most people focus on the actors, directors, and breathtaking cinematography, an often-overlooked component plays a pivotal role in ensuring the comfort and success of a shoot: bathroom facilities. Enter The Lavatory, the premier provider of luxury bathroom rentals for movie sets across the Western United States. Our state-of-the-art restrooms offer the perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and style, meeting the high expectations of film crews, actors, and production teams alike.

With our first movie set rental on the 2007 film The Man in the Chair, The Lavatory has established itself as the go-to source for luxury restroom trailers on sets from Hollywood to Utah and beyond.

1. The Importance of Quality Bathrooms on Movie Sets

Movie sets can be located just about anywhere, from the bustling city streets of Los Angeles to the remote deserts of Arizona. In these unpredictable environments, it’s critical that crews have access to reliable, clean, and comfortable facilities. Restroom quality may not be the first thing that comes to mind when envisioning a movie set, but for the people working 12-16 hour days on location, they can make or break a shoot.

Comfort and Convenience: A well-equipped bathroom can help reduce downtime, keep the crew happy, and maintain the flow of production. This is especially important on large sets where traditional facilities are miles away.

Sanitation and Hygiene: On-location shoots often mean limited access to proper restrooms. Providing a clean, sanitary environment keeps everyone on set safe and healthy, reducing the risk of illness and other health concerns.

Luxury and Style: Many productions, especially those catering to A-list actors or high-profile filmmakers, demand more than just a functional restroom. The Lavatory’s high-end trailers come equipped with luxury amenities, ensuring that the cast and crew enjoy the comfort they deserve while working long hours in sometimes challenging environments.

2. A History of Excellence: The Lavatory's First Movie Set Rental

Our journey began with a pivotal project—The Man in the Chair, a 2007 drama starring Christopher Plummer and Michael Angarano. Set in California, the film required a portable restroom solution that could meet the needs of a large cast and crew, providing comfort during lengthy days on set. The Lavatory stepped up to the challenge, delivering a luxury restroom trailer that exceeded expectations in both functionality and aesthetics.

This experience set the foundation for our company’s commitment to excellence in service and top-tier amenities, which we’ve continued to provide for productions ever since. The success of our first rental solidified our reputation and helped establish relationships with filmmakers across the Western U.S.
