My toilet seat has not closed properly for ten years and I just fixed it in 5 minutes with this video! Thank you so much.
And this is why I love TH-cam. Our new home has top fixing soft closers that were starting to move around like no-one’s business. Although not the same fixings, your concise and watchable tutorial helped me discover two buttons and ta da! No more moving seats, both are now properly aligned, and I can get in to clean them. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much!!! I’ve had a wobbly toilet seat for almost a year and I fixed it today - all by myself thanks to your video! Who says a woman can’t be handy?!
Omg!!! You've actually SAVED my life. I even contemplated getting someone out to do it for me. The charge would have been £25 and then they started recommending a new toilet seat when mine works perfectly fine. Just needed tightening. Thank you soooo much. Definitely will give you a follow
Thank you! Can’t believe it’s this easy and now I know the best hack ever for cleaning. So dumb that I never knew I could take the seat off so easily. In return, here’s a tip: if you sit on the aisle row of a plane and the handle annoys you because it’s fixed, there is a button under the handle near the seat that, when pressed, allows you to LIFT the handle. You can now get in and out without climbing over!
Thank you so much, so friendly, simple easy instructions to follow. After ages of a wonky seat, waiting for someone to slide into the wall, woo hoo fixed in a couple of minutes, you made it so simple to do. Yipee. Can't thank you enough. Heather, Mansfield Vic. Aust.
Thank-you so much for this video. I am a 46 year old woman who just fixed a wonky loo seat. Easy instructions. I really appreciate your effort to show how this is done. I am your number one fan!
Thanks for this instructional video. I watched the video and fixed my "wonky loo seat" in less then 90 seconds! George from Seattle
Perfect thanks for this. Had no idea what to do with my wonky seat, been annoying me for a couple of weeks couldn't believe it was a 2 minute job.
Thank you. Problem solved. Took more than five minutes. First my seat had two horizontal silver buttons. Secondly the caps didn’t just pop off after seven years I had to persevere to get a knife blade just to lift the cap without levering the pin assembly upwards. Finally I realised that leaving the seat central was important so I had to release the other pin/cap loosen the tight bolt and position both before retightening. Piece of cake once you know how 😃. Thanks again
Fun fact: Underneath the cap there are two holes with rubber tubes inserted. At the bottom of each tube is a bolt used for fixing the screws. Don't unscrew your screws too far or the bolts will fall into the body of the toilet! Live and learn. Bunnings Warehouse has replacement kits that include all the parts in a single kit.
Thank you so much! Recently got the modern one piece and couldn't figure out how to re tighten. You're a lifesaver!
That was great did not know what that centre plate was all about. Thanks Bob from Kent England.
Thank you for this helpful video and making the effort to capture those tiny spaces with the camera, so we know what we're doing. Gonna try to tighten my own toilet now!
Thank you for the instructions, so clear and simple when explained. Was thinking I needed a plumber so you have saved me the cost of that as well.
Thanks for posting this simple and easy to understand video that shows how to fix a wobbly toilet seat with the new (to me) style attachment!
Very clear visual and good instruction.
Easy when you know how. I'm glad I found this video. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I have no skill what so ever. i fixed it from 4 mins into the video with no problems. I am so happy. I really appreciate you doing this video.
Thanks for this! Very helpful.
In my experience the plastic butterfly screw wears out. I usually add an additional metal washer and screw, effectively making the butterfly a washer.
Also have a theory - use a cork from a wine bottle, pared down to fit inside the porcelain hole and a hole to allow the fixing through. This should stop the wobbling when the fixings are no longer fully functioning.
Thank you! Really clear instructions, and presented in a friendly (and caring!) way, with extra helpful details.

Hello! Thank you for the video, do you have any advice if the metal cap doesn’t come off (as demonstrated at around 3:51 in video)?
Thankyou, so simple when you know how.
Thanks broski, you made my day. I could not figure out how to get to the screws. You saved the day!
Thanx a lot. Before, I was trying all kind of stunts but this made it so easy.
Cheers mate, very good and clear instructions.
Brilliant. Thanks you are very good at what you do.

Thank you so much. You have just saved my day.
Thanks tons for posting this, I have 3 bowls coving both methods. My newest one uses the push button but the screws are this crappy allen wrench "star" design. Thanks again.
You're genius I'm not one to be able to really do these stuff but your explanation and demonstration was really excellent thank you...btw I followed the first video

Thanks this is wonderful. I have the second toilet type and was stuck and did not know how to tighten the seat. I do now...
Brilliant, many thanks for the help.
That was great. Well explained. Saved money from the expensive plumbing job. Thanks buddy.
Thanks a lot for your video. The instructions were very clear and I managed to sort my wobbly toilet seat.
As Soon As You Pointed To The "Button", I Had It Figured Out. Thanks
Perfect. Thanks for the tip. Fixed my loo seat tonight.

No way, never knew the West Ham fan channel bloke would of come up! Thanks mate! COYI ⚒️
This was super helpful thank you very much
Dude. Thank you! I’ve been fighting with a toilet seat for weeks trying to muscle my way under the seat and low and behold that ugly chrome thing on the bottom of the seat was a button. If y’all ever come to the states let me know and I owe you a beer if you’re in the northeast. I was ready to smash this bit with a sledgehammer
You've been incredibly a lot of help in my home, I can't thank you enough!!! Question is there anything that could be done to keep the screws from rusting so quickly on the toilet seat I was afraid of oil or any type of Grease afraid that it might loosen the screws defeating the purpose in the first place?
You fixed my problem. Now I don’t have to beg my hubby to do it.
Thank you ! This really helped me ! I learnt a lot ! 😊👍
Thank you for solving one of my life's great mysteries.
Good and helpful younman you are honest person
Many thanks for this video. You saved me quids.
Thank you so much. I'm a total DIY idiot and this video proved invaluable in helping to fix our toilet seat. Until I saw it I couldn't even figure out how to take it off. Keep up the great week and stay safe.
Marvellous! Thanks chick. X

You're very welcome.

Sorted. Thank you.
My seat had 2 buttons on LH and RH side. Press them both together and it released the seat.
Thanks for video...problem solved 👍
Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!! I’ve successfully fixed my wobbly toilet seat thanks to you!!! God bless you. Brilliant video tutorial!!
I really appreciate people like you! This was so easy and handy!!
Yes, it's easy peasy. Done it that way many times with both the top and bottom type. . . . . And after a few weeks they start to move again, so how do you prevent that? I've Googled it and many supposed experts recommend adhesive washers. Trouble is, nowhere in the UK seems to stock adhesive washers. Only place I've come across which makes them seems to be in the USA. Now I'm just waiting to hear if they ship to the UK.
Great video thanks! Was wondering how I was going to fix mine, now I know!
Thank you I fixed my toilet seat from ur instructions! You saved me from calling for a plumber :-)
Thank you
Thanks luvie xx
Thank you!!
very useful im off to fix my loo thank you
Thank you, I have a toilet similar to the second one, and this morning the toilet seat detached.
I thought this was going to be a difficult thing to fix, but this video helped tremendously.
I'm glad it helped Nicole.
As soon as I showed my wife she started taking the seat off to clean the toilet.
@@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089 I went and checked my mum's bathroom and cleaned under it too. Thank you again
Followed the great instructions and example and all done successfully. Would like to see the video re-shot with rusty fixings and how to get them off. Thanks
Use a bit of viniger it's a slight acid that will eat through the rust. Making it easier to take out.
Thanks from Kristin in Canada!
Thanks Kristin
thanks, for the hidden fixtures tip
Cheers pal!
Thanks for this! My boyfriend and I just had a wild Friday night, fixing the toilet seat. Appreciate ya!
😂 Pleased to be of assistance.
NICE REFRESHER COURSE !
Thanks
Thank you for a very helpful and informative video. My toilet seat was like the second one you showed, but, although it was wobbly, I couldn't run any of the nuts off to get the size so as to set the jaws on my adjustable wrench. I ended up using a 13mm tubular box spanner - easy to find at Screwfix etc, and that did the job ok. I thought the photos, especially the ones of the inaccessible underside of the WC pan, were first class. Cheers, and take care, from Greater Manchester.
Thank you so much for this . As a woman with little knowledge I’ve managed to not call out the plumber !
I've just fitted a new toilet seat because the old one was here before we moved in and basically disintegrated. I've tightened it all up but it still moves, I've been given the fittings in with the loo seat but they are plastic, could this be the source of the problem? (P.S. I've never fitted a toilet seat before)
Many thanks for this. Was about to buy a new toilet seat
Thanks very much, I was wondering how to tighten my toilet seat as there was no access behind it... now I know why!!
When I lift the round cap it's connected in some way difficult to tighten screw please help.
Hiya, I’ve tightened mine. Came loose again after not long.
I’ve bought a replacement seat, and I tighten it and the bolt just never seems to tighten fully. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 😊
