Some seats, as well as the 3 points below allow you to adjust the hinges using a locking screw below the hinge, passing through 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. If there is no screw then adjustment needs to be made using one of the following methods if they exist. As 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. Depending on the style and longevity you are going for will depend on what type of seat material is best suited to your needs. There are numerous different types but most of the plastic ones simply push down into the hole in the same way a wall plug would go into a hole in the wall.As there are many different types of adjustable top fixing hinges you will need to refer to the manufacturers instructions included with the kit on how to adjust correctly. Sometimes you are lucky, as shown below and this is easy to get to, but in other case it can be very awkward to reach. Once the nuts holding the seat in place are removed you can simply lift it away and free from the pan. 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. The first job is to insert the top fixing plugs into the fixing holes on the back of the toilet pan.

Removing a toilet seat is a fairly straight forward and simple job, however depending on how long it’s been there and how often and thoroughly it’s cleaned it’s one that may not be that pleasant as you will probably need to get on the floor and up under the back.In pretty much all cases your toilet will be shaped to fit a particular type of seat so replacing a toilet seat will have to be done on a like-for-like basis so that you can be sure that it fits correctly.

Once it’s out of the way you can then thoroughly clean the whole area before refitting your new seat. 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.To identify how your toilet seat is fixed, simply look directly under the back of the hinge under the edge of the pan and if there is a bolt and nut then you have a bottom fixing. Get a good view of the studs while you work as it makes things easier and fit the washers and securing nut. If not tight this will work loose further and cause the seat to become loose and wobble and slide on top of the bowl, which is annoying. Over the years even the same shaped toilets have changed slightly in size so to allow for this and ensure that newer toilet seats will fit older toilets that may be slightly smaller, replacement toilet seat kits usually have adjustment to allow fitting to the older or non standard types as well.

Make sure that the nuts are secure but not overly tight, as the plastic screws will not take a lot of punishment before they give way and strip the threads or snap. The toilet is obviously a place that can harbour harmful germs and is a source of potential infection therefore precautions should be taken before starting the job. By know you should feel confident on removing a toilet seat and also how to adjust or fit a toilet seat. As we have said, the tricky part when it comes to adjustment is, especially with close-coupled suites, to ensure that the adjustment of the seat allows for both sections to be lifted and leant against the cistern whilst also allowing the seat to be supported at all contact points to the top rim of 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.
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.
