However it’s a good idea to have a basic set to hand: For most top fixing toilet seats, the seat and hinges are supplied separately and fitted as described above, however with a few kits, the hinges come fitted to the seat. Plastic toilet seats also come in a massive range of styles and designs so there is sure to be an option that suits your particular needs.

Plastic seats are more common. They are cheaper, more malleable and easy to clean. The main types of plastic used are Thermoplastic and Thermoset, although plastic resin is another option. Thermoset is slightly more expensive as it’s more scratch resistant, but all three types are durable. Resin toilet seats can be made in any colour, and items or pictures can be embedded into the surface of the seat. This makes them great in a kid’s bathroom. The main issue with plastic seats is they can get cold in winter - not something you should have to endure first thing in the morning! Wooden Toilet Seats The method is to fit the rubber grommet into the pan holes and tighten the screw that engages with the nut and as one tightens, the nut is drawn up by the screwing action that expands the rubber grommet, making it tighten within the hole in the pan. 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. 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 it’s out of the way you can then thoroughly clean the whole area before refitting your new 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. There are 4 standard types of toilet seat currently available and these are pointed nose, rounded nose, D-shape and square and depending on the type and age of toilet you have will depend on the type of seat that’s used. 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.
