Toilet Seat

[jennyjoan]

Well well well - I hope Builder can advise me.

Some years ago I dropped a glass into my toilet bowl and smashed it. Nephew replaced toilet - you are talking about 3 years ago - however, he, me, other plumbers etc etc could never could get a toilet seat for it. It always fell off.

I myself realised that nephew put me a very old toilet in with the result new, uptodate etc toilet seats will not stay on.

I paid about £50 to different plumbers to get a toilet seat on and every single one of them have fell off.

Hurray I said to myself since last last Friday my Polish guy spent about 2 hours putting the toilet seat on. I was so happy. But I wasn't impressed as I knew how hard it was for him.

Tonight I sat on it for about 3rd time from Friday and it too fell off.


Without going into it all - I know or think that when my nephew put the "new" toilet in - it was extremtly old and so the new toilet seats wouldn't felt.

Tonight after sitting so comfortably from Friday from Polish guy - seat has finally fell off.

Not in a million years do I believe my Polish FAULT - no way.

But can I say - when nephew put the old toilet in - perhaps 20 years old - the new toilet seat covers don't do the job.

Would any of you agree - it is time for a new toilet inorder to get to get the cover.


For the first time I think I am talking ok - but to put the new toilet in - who will I get. Thanks all.

Regarding the German style toilets and skid marks on the shelf, many people place loo roll on the ledge before use! In a restaurant we used to go to in Germany their toilets had self cleaning seats that rotated into a cleaning chamber after every use.

'A nail' .. no wonder your seat is falling off.

My shop toilet is antique high level & ebay trendy seats all fit.

Maybe tightening of screws would help you.
