Replacement (non-standard?) Toilet Seat

beardiedog

Help needed please in finding a replacement toilet seat in new house.

It looks as though it's a non-standard size/fitting, the fixings are on the bottom front face of the cistern, not standard top or bottom fixings. The dimensions are: seat 370L x 330W, lid 390L x 340W, the shape is oval/d-shape. The make of the toilet is Egeseramik, there are no identifying markings on the seat. I could probably leave the fixings in place and attach the new seat to these. Thanks.

Can you get your hand behind the square block that the hinges are fixed too ? if you can undo these ittings you might find that they are standard hinges /standard toilet seat but fitted horizontally rather than vertically.

No, it's an enclosed unit.

Can't find a seat to fit (odd size), so rather than try and replace it, I've decided to repair it as best I can. I've managed to get hold of some buffers for the seat and lid that are an almost perfect fit, so that's sorted. I've tried to tighten the original blind fixings but I'm struggling to get them any tighter, there's a lot of play between them and the toilet - I don't think they were fitted properly in the first place tbh. So, if I can't do that I'm thinking perhaps of either fitting a couple of split rubber washers to fill the gap or replace the fixings altogether. What type of fixing should I get? The holes are in the back of the unit rather than on the pan itself.

Great, you have found buffer replacements. 

The blind seat fixings may be a one off designed for that pan, have used keramag wc seat anchors before when the  aperture was to wide for a traditional nylon wellnuts blind wc seat bung's.

Kind of hard to tell from the photos but usually a little make do & mend is also required 

Thats a clean pan

Thanks. I gave the hinges a really good clean with WD40, they were full of gunge - no guesses what it looked like

I think I'll try the cheaper rubber washer fix first and if that doesn't work I'll try replacing the old fixings with the rubber gromit type.
