Fitting a toilet seat using top fixings is fairly similar to a bottom fix seat, with the difference of exactly where the fixings are located. Follow the steps below to fit one: Step 1 – Insert Top Fixing Plugs Once the nuts holding the seat in place are removed you can simply lift it away and free from the pan. Available in a vast range of different styles, wooden seats are both comfortable and warmer than plastic in the cold. The bottom fixing is the traditional way to fix a toilet seat to a toilet and because of this they are the most common.

Finally, slip the vinyl or plastic washer over the stud and slide it up to the hinge plate. This sits between the hinge plate and pan and protects the pan from scratching. Step 2 – Adjust the Hinges If 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. Where metal nuts or wing nuts are used, depending on how old they are they might be very corroded and can be a nightmare to remove. If this is the case, soak them in WD40 or a similar easing fluid.
With the lid and ring flat to the top of the toilet pan and the hige and hinge plate in the same position, lower it down on to the pan, slotting the studs through the fixing holes. 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.

If you have metal fixings these can be a little different and may need fitting from below. If you have any doubts then refer to the manufacturers fitting instructions that came with the kit. Step 2 – Position and Fix Hinges 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. Fitting a new toilet seat is basically a reversal of the removal process. 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.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 When replacing a toilet seat you have to be absolutely sure that you are replacing the old one with one of exactly the same size so that all supports on the base of the ring sit flat on top of the pan
