Product Information

The key parts of a toilet seat include the ring, lid, hinge, hinge plate and the seat fixing and are show in the diagram below. It is helpful to understand these parts and how they interact to keep the seat fixed on the toilet pan and stop it wobbling or sliding. One type of plastic toilet seat that deserves a special mention is the resin seat. This is due to the fact that they differ slightly in that resin is slightly tougher and harder wearing than standard plastic and, apart from a massive range of different colours and styles, they can also have images and objects inset into them. Pointed Nose: One of the most common types of toilet seat and used for more traditional toilets, they are comfortable to use but are slightly larger than rounded seats As plastic is a fairly tough, hardwearing and durable material they also last a good amount of time.

The fixing itself normally works in the same way as a wall plug. A plastic sleeve pushes down into the hole in the pan and then a screw or bolt screws down in. As it screws in the sleeve expands and grips tightly in the hole holding it firmly in place. Depending on the type of seat or seat fixings you’re using, tools may not be needed. However it’s a good idea to have a basic set to hand: Altering the location of the fixing bolt in the hinge plate can move the position of the hinge forwardAs we have mentioned the first job should be to have a clean around and wipe away any dirt and grime to make the working area safer and a bit more pleasant to be in. If your studs and wingnut or nut are plastic then, as we have said, don’t over tighten them as you can easily strip them. What “wrap over” actually means is that the lid of the seat wraps over and covers the actual seat all the way down to the top of the pan. This not only gives a more modern and minimal look but also helps to keep things more hygienic. Toilet seat fixings tend to be slightly different between manufacturers and due to this there are quite a few, however despite this they can all be broken into 2 different types; bottom fixing and top fixing.

Here you will find a range of both plastic and steel toilet seat hinges as well as various spares to fit various toilet seats. Rounded Nose: The traditional shape of toilet seat and due to this probably the most common, they are also smaller than other designs so ideal for smaller bathrooms The fixing bolt or washer has failed – this sometimes occurs with cheaper seats with plastic fixing bolts. They can be tightened but typically it will fail again. Best solution is to replace itIf you are thinking of changing your toilet from a close coupled to a low level toilet, take a look at the project we have on this, the old seat may not fit the new loo. These kits are even easier to fit as all you have to do is insert the fixing plugs into the pan, position the seat in place and ensure it’s uniform to the top of the pan and then insert the screws and screw them up and you’re finished. Tips for Fitting Non-Standard Toilet Seats However if the hinges you have feature adjustment then they will need to be positioned and adjusted correctly so the seat sits in exactly the right place on top the pan before the screws are tightened. Once finished you should also clean any and all tools that you have used. Tools Needed to Change a Toilet Seat Depending on the type of fixings your seat uses will depend on how they are removed. For top fixings, either remove the ring and lid (if you need to) or flip up the hinge plate cover to reveal the bolt or screw head. Using the correct tool, unscrew the bolt or screw and repeat for the other side.

Have some anti-bacterial cleaning spray to hand for cleaning the pan when the older seat is removed and before the new one goes on. The same cleaning agent can then be used when washing your hands after the job is done – assuming you are not sensitive to such cleaning chemicals. Always test for this, if you are not sure or have not used the product before. The first step is to screw the short studded sections into the base of the hinge plate. The one thing that you need to ensure is that if there are a range of different holes in the base, that you screw the stud into the right hole. Some manufacturers utilise a metal fixing that uses a barrel nut positioned under the pan and the bolt is screwed down from the top.The most common shapes of toilet seat – from left to right, round nose, traditional pointed nose, D-shaped and square
