Toilet Seat Wobble

[dtmpower]

My wife insisted on me fitting replacement toilet seats when we moved in.

Now several years on these generic seats have worked lose and whenever you sit on them you nearly end up sat in the bowl with the seat to one side.

I attempted to fit them with new screws and studlock but they still work lose. I even siliconed the mount to the bowl along with the screw fixing.

Is it me or is a wobbly toilet seat very annoying ?

Is there such thing as a good universal toilet seat and if so please let me know, or should I just wait until we refurbish the whole bathroom ?

Get a Roper Rhodes seat.

I had exactly the same problem! Bought the cheapest one I could find to stop the wife going on about getting a new one and within weeks, the studs and nylon 'bolts' worked loose and we inadvertantly invented loo surfing!

The only way I could fix it was to go and get a better quality one unfortunately. (I tried everything you have tried too!)

Many thanks for pictures of your toilet.

Very important is the throne-seat. Invest wisely and purchase the best available.

Go for plastic hinges!!!!

Its the moisture in the bathroom that makes the hinges fail.

You misunderstand him!

Use metal fixings (so that you can apply a decent torque (but not too much)) coupled with rubber washers top & bottom, and also use this:

As above, I have already tried Loctite studlocker.

....with decent fixings and rubber washers?

If so, may I politely suggest you aren't doing it right as I have never known this solution to fail when installed correctly.
