I want a toilet seat that doesn't slip about !

natalie1974

Basically I will start by explaining the problem , we have the cheap white bathroom suite from Wickes and the toilet has the 2 standard holes for the seat fixings to go through . However I am on my 4th toilet seat in a year as after a little while the seat starts to slip sideways and once it does that no matter how hard you tighten everything up it just keeps slipping . I think that part of the problem lies with my 7 rd old who uses the seat as a step up to the windowsill to get her toothbrush etc but I am basically after a seat with thick fixings that will fill the holes in the toilet , does that make sense

Thanks

lol , I know it doesn't help that my 7 yr old does what she does but we never had this problem when we had the old suite that was about 10 yrs old !

Funy isnt it we had the same problem, Homebase sell a plastic seat for £9.99 and part of the fitting kit are sticky pads, had ours in for 6 months now and it shows no sign of wobbling whatsoever :j

We have the same problem...and yes...we have kids in our house too

we got some small plastic things that screw onto the underside of the seat, and just rest inside the toilet bowl from kleeneze. They were only a couple of £'s & they totally stopped the seat sliding about. I don't have a catalogue to hand, so I can't remember what they are called.

Hi, we used to have this problem, until we bought a Bemis toilet seat from b&q. they weren't expensive either

You could always put something around the threaded part (i.e insulating tape) to increase the diameter to make a tighter fit inside the hole in the toilet.I've used several layers of heatshrink sleeving.(from Maplins)
