toilet has bad condensation

Buy yourself a domestic dehumidifier to use in the winter months will help solve your problems . Kop

If it’s condensation that is.

A few thoughts:

Train your family to keep the door to the bathroom shut.

Make sure your bathroom's ventilation complies with Building Regulations.

It seems to me that, for some reason, the humidity in your house is too high. (Perhaps 80% from your description of the symptoms.) Check for internal leaks and also any way damp may be getting in from outside, e.g. bad pointing, leaky roof. Don't dry washing on radiators.

Is it not a genuine thing in some parts of Europe to have a blending valve on the cistern feed?
Making 1/2 flush smaller (If you can) and actually using it would help!
Save the big flush for the big jobs.

You need a fan with a humidistat, the problem is condensation. I had the same problem and the fan sorted it.

One thing I've not seen anyone mention here is if the flush valve isn't seating right and is letting a small amount of water run down into the pan (assuming it's got an internal overflow as most new ones do), it'll continually be replenishing it and keeping it colder than normal. Have a look at the water in the pan and see if there's any movement from water overflowing in

Positive pressure fan, like Nuaire or Envirovent. Fitted these in tenants properties where they wouldn't use extractor fan. Brilliant, landlords and tenants very pleased with reduction in condensation.

Install a mixing valve to the inlet to the toilet, I made my own with gate valves and check valve and slightly added a touch of hot to blend with cold, so it's never too cold and never too hot.. it's not good practice but it stops the condensation and ruining the floor..
I did this and it worked a treat.
