FAQs

What is a soft-close toilet seat?
A soft-close toilet seat prevents slamming by closing gently, adding a quiet and convenient touch to your bathroom. Soft-close seats also reduce wear, making them a popular choice for comfort and longevity.
How to tighten a toilet seat
Tightening a toilet seat requires a screwdriver or wrench. All you need to do is locate the fixing bolts located at the back of the seat (tend to be under plastic caps), hold the nut underneath if required, and tighten the bolts with the screwdriver or wrench. Ensure it’s properly tight and secure, but don’t overtighten it as it can cause the seat or fittings to split.
How do you remove a toilet seat with hidden fixings?
If your toilet seat has hidden fixings, removing the seat can be a little complicated. You should look for any small plastic covers or release buttons close to the hinges and then flip up the covers or press down on the release buttons to expose the screws. Then remove the fixings using a screwdriver or Allen key, or if a quick-release mechanism, lift the seat first and then take off the mounting plates. You should then be able to lift away the seat and fittings. It’s important to note that designs vary, so check the manufacturer's instructions if you still can’t locate the fixings.
How do I stop my toilet seat from moving?
If your toilet seat keeps moving around, it’s likely you need to tighten the fixing bolts located at the back of the seat using a screwdriver, Allen key or sometimes a wrench. You can then re-centre the seat and re-tighten. If no luck, inspect any rubber washers or anti-slip pads to make sure they’re in good condition. You should always replace any worn or damaged fixing kits if the seat continues to move after it’s been tightened.
