thanks for the video but both my silver caps won't come off to allow me tighten the screws. Do you have a remedy for this? Thanks, Claire

Mthey must be on pretty tight. Slide the blade of a knife under each side of the cap and try to lever the cap upwards.

Exemplary. I fitted a toilet just like this i.e. with a closed back, a few years ago and the seat had worked loose. I'd been putting off isolating the water supply and moving the whole unit out to get to the screws. Just as well I did cop out because chancing across this little nugget enabled me to fix it good and proper with a screwdriver in a matter of minutes without having to disrupt the bowl fixing. Thank you for saving me a lot of time and aggro.

Thanks for the brilliant video, no BS, straight to the point and clear concise instructions to help ordinary people on how to fix a very common problem. I am going to fix mine now, great service to humanity 😂👍

This is brilliant. I’ve not known how to fix my stupidly modern toilet seat for years. Was looking at replacing it. So thanks again. Much appreciated. 👏

Why are toilet seats these days so rubbish. They constantly move after a while and need adjusting and tightening every so often. Some slide about so badly I’m sure a certain part of my anatomy will be amputated. This never happened over 50 years ago.

Agreed. I’m in the U.S. and recently replaced a seat that was only about 4 years old. It was a “Slow Close” whose dampers had worn out. The plastic used in the attachments seems harder and slides on smooth porcelain regardless of tightening. I’m looking for some rubber washers to add grip.

Because it's now a throw away society, they don't make things to last like they used to, we used to take kettles toasters to the corner repair shop for mending now we have a full landfill due to throwaway commercialism with many items innards made from plastic, sad times

Given that it's an easy fix, I'm not sure what the issue is. Screws and nuts are bound to come loose from people sitting on the seat and shuffling around multiple times a day.

Thank you my friend. I have had a slip-slide seat for ages now and was considering just buying a new seat. With your simple yet comprehensive vid I had all the information I needed to finally fix the problem. 👍😁

Thankyou. I’ve been trying to fix this problem for years and had given up. Followed ur video and fixed it in a jiffy. Very satisfying.

You've done it again, Bill. My dunny lid just won't tighten on one side anymore and you've shown me what I need. Thanks again!

I needed this video 12 years ago 😂. Great upload and well explained.

So helpful!! Thank you for showing the extra steps when the screw does not tighten.

Excellent video! Straight to the point and very well explained. Thank you !

Thank you, Bill. Brilliant video, easy to follow. It will probably upset my husband that I actually fix it, but sometimes that just has to be done 😊

Very helpful! I just repaired my loosened toilet seat by following your video. Thks a lot.

You bloody LEGEND Mate. so many videos i went through trying to find solutions, most just rushed through, but you stopping for every possibility (in my instance the cap being on tight and not wanting to break it) you saying they can be tight and its good to use something to pry it up solved all my problems. I cannot stress enough how much i appreciate you and your efforts. Regards, someone who can now shit comfortably.

Thanks for the tutorial. I left the seat moving around for two months. Finally fixed now.

One of the best diy videos I have ever seen, this is a top man who talks nicely as well as showing you exactly what to do. Thank you for your knowledge of this problem.

Thanks Bill. It took me 13months to renovate the 2mx2m ensuite. In the end I got someone to finish off the installation as it was cheaper than a divorce. Then the seat comes loose and boss lady on my back to get a plumber to repair. Thanks Bill. Saved me money and face. I did it myself .

Waited for a few years to finally find this video bill. Thanks a lot.

You learn something new every day, thank you.

Thank you for this video. I used 2 flat heads simultaneously from opposite sides. That worked after I had to pull up a little with a cutter.

Thank you so much Bill. I mine keeps getting lose after tightening it. I was worried that the nut below had fallen off, I didn’t realise it was those plugs. Just ordered some.

Thank you so much for this; will be a great help. The management has been insisting that we need to fit a new toilet just because the seat moves about; with any luck it will be a simple fix instead! Many thanks :-)

Fantastic!! Finally fixed my toilet seat! Who knew the shiny caps came off???? Many thanks

Yay, TYSM for this video - finally I've fixed the two problems that have been bugging me for months - wobbly seat positioned so far back I was sitting on porcelain! For those who find the seat is too far back, try swivelling the mounts so the poles are in front of the screws. If after adjusting position you have difficulty removing the seat without moving the mounts, try eyeballing where one side needs to be, take off seat and try to replicate that position, completely tightening just that side. Then put the seat back and adjust the looser side, seat off, tighten. Took me a few goes, but it works! Feeling very proud of myself, especially as I'm not handy & my husband said it wasn't possible to fix 😊💪

Excellent! Always wanted to know how to do that. Very well explained!

Great vid. I didn't know how to lift the lid or how to access the screw that holds the seat in place.

Our toilet seat had me confused for years. My only solution was to fit a melamine spacer to eliminate the movement until I stumbled on your video, then it took me less than 3 mins to fix .Thank you so much. It's dead easy if you know how. ha-ha

Somehow my phone knew that my toilet seat needed fixing and that it was a top mount fitting, I didn't even know that! Bill must always be watching and listening. 👀

Excellent tutorial

My seat is pretty much the same as this, and since cleaning the loo last, it's been wiggly then finally threw me off this morning, so searched for help and found this video. Wonderful! Well, my screws weren't at all loose. When I put the seat onto the 2 screws, it's almost like it isn't going down enough on them so coming loose from the actual screws. I tried pushing in the button and pushing down harder but nope. The search continues

Great video very helpful, many thanks

Now i know how to fix the seat thanks Bill for all this tricks👍👍👍

Thank you! 🙂

Thanks from Coventry England. No more falling off 😂😂

Thanks... I was about to change the seat and the price was £69 😲.... Now just adjust the position of the fixings
