Toilet seat cover installation

Takes about 30 min

A seat that slides sideways or a cracked lid is uncomfortable and hard to keep clean. A verified plumber removes the old seat cover, cleans the hinge area, checks that the new seat matches the bowl shape and fixes it with its bolts, centred and level. Soft-close hinges are adjusted so the lid lowers smoothly.

The visit takes about 30 minutes at the fixed price shown on this page. Please buy the seat cover before the visit. Measure your bowl from the bolt holes to the front edge so you get the right size. If the old bolts have rusted solid, the plumber cuts them out carefully before fitting the new set.

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Check the fit

    The plumber holds the new seat on the bowl to confirm the shape and bolt spacing match.

  2. 2

    Remove the old seat

    The old bolts are undone, or cut out if rusted, and the area is cleaned.

  3. 3

    Fit and centre

    The new seat is bolted on, lined up with the bowl and tightened evenly.

  4. 4

    Check the hinges

    The lid and seat are lifted and lowered to check soft-close action and that nothing wobbles.

What we need from you

  • The new seat cover with its bolts
  • Your bowl measured before buying

Questions about this service

How do I pick the right seat size?

Measure from the middle of the bolt holes to the front edge of the bowl, and check whether the bowl is round or oval. Take these to the shop.

My old bolts are rusted. Is that a problem?

No. The plumber cuts them out carefully without marking the ceramic.

The soft-close lid drops too fast. Can it be adjusted?

Many soft-close hinges have an adjustment, and the plumber sets it during fitting. If the damper is faulty, it is a seat defect to take up with the seller.
