Toilet sear

[Lisa Riding]

Hello everyone

I am a new member who has not used forums before so please be patient with me. The problem i have is my mum has had a batgroom fitted and the toilet seat has become wobbly. The seat is one you can clip off leaving 2 spikes that stick up which have a screw in each one attaching them to the toilet. One of tge screws has threaded so it will not tighten. Tgeres no way of getting to the other side of tge screw without taking the whole toilet out Which seems crazy so please can someone let me know how to replace the screw and tighten the seat without wrecking the bathroom. Thank you

hi and welcome to the forums Lisa. is this a new bathroom or has it been done for a while? in the first instance I would contact the company who did the work or are they uncontactable?

Same here, if the bathroom was installed within the last twelve months, I'd contact the company who installed it as it will be under warranty. ( presuming they supplied the materials ).
Failing that, these things are normally designed to be replaced without removing the WC so a good experienced plumber should be able to sort it.

Lisa's response by reporting post for some reason:
It is a new bathroom that was installed in october last year the company went bankrupt. My mum has tried contacting the plumber who was paid seperately from the bankrupt supplier but she is not having much luck.

Pop in to a merchants and ask for a couple of top fixings , the plumbcenter used to sell some rubber ones which were superb , they now sell the plastic equivalent. But other merchants may sell the rubber ones
