Replacement toilet seat

Hope you can help me here.
I have tried several places now looking for a replacement toilet seat but none of the fittings match what I am looking for. The current unit has no brand name on it at all to give me a clue.
The hinges are fitted to the upright porcelain rather than the more usual part of the bowl. Any ideas?

  • Can’t you just buy a Woden seat and fit it with screws through the hinges?

    I think you will be restricted to a wooden seat, and you will have to remove the existing fittings unless you have a toilet seat made to order. You will be able to use the screws you removed to fit the seat, but it will be a miracle any of the holes line up, so it is not going to look perfect if you use a seat that has the original fittings removed.
     
    You could give these people a call to find out if you can afford a custom toilet seat.

    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Or you could try something like this https://www.dunelm.com/product/wooden-veneer-toilet-seat-1000140045

    just unscrew the fitted fittings (😏) and fill the holes if needed and screw to your fittings (if it’s the right size)

    Might be easier to replace the whole toilet ,not that expensive and an easy job for a diy novice
