After many requests for how to fix a loose toilet seat when the screw won’t hold. Hopes this helps👍👍👍
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.
It did indeed. Many thanks indeed my chum. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
No matter how I tighten the screws the seat still moves
Thanks heaps. Can’t find this nut n bolt from bunnings , can I find from somewhere else
Thank you. Had this problem and have struggled for months to fix it. Im 86, fixed it today myself!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Brilliant as always. No handheld camera, shoot the job not the guy.Sooo much better! I’ve been a tradesman for 40 years and I still learn something whenever I watch Bill. Legend.
We’re all forever learning 👍

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. 👏
You made my day. For years it was a nuisance for me since I couldn’t reach the back side of the toilet. Sooo easy… if you know how to do it
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.
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.
👍😁
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 !
Very helpful! I just repaired my loosened toilet seat by following your video. Thks a lot.
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.
Are you bigger than you were 50 years ago😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@judebrown2672funny but he's right. Capitalism produces garbage, shit and crap. It's all it's capable of doing, because that's how you enrich the pigs controlling the lambs.
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.
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 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.
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 😊💪
You’re welcome 👍
Fantastic!! Finally fixed my toilet seat! Who knew the shiny caps came off???? Many thanks
Thanks, man. At least I know now how it works! 🙂
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 .
You’re very welcome, glad I could help👍
I was going mad with this issue….. this made my day…,,,,,, Thank you.
You’re welcome 👍
You learn something new every day, 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 😊
Thanks for the tutorial. I left the seat moving around for two months. Finally fixed now.
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. 👀
Same here
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!! I almost bought a new toilet cover ang paid someone to fix. Instructions are also easy to understand and follow. Subscribed..
You’re welcome 👍
Waited for a few years to finally find this video bill. Thanks a lot.
Best video I've seen on this type of toilet seat.. cheers!!
Many thanks for this, exactly the tutorial I needed.
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.
You’re very welcome 👍
Straight and simple to the point! Thanks!
You’re welcome 👍
Very good demonstration
Wow. So simple, thank you.
Excellent explanation and showing each step
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
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 just what i needed to know and easy to follow
This was helpful - Thank you. You have another subscription on that basis. God bless!
I have wondered for years with the seat getting worse Thanks so much
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.
Legend! Had a busted toilet for months and put off fixing it this helped heaps

Thanks for sharing 😀👍 I had my toilet seat fixed easily ! thanks 😄
You’re welcome 👍

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
Brilliant and thank you so much!
Great tips on how to tighten successfully 😊😊

Awesome work
Wow! I paid someone to do it. And he did a poor job. Its sliding again and just fixed it myself after watching your video. Many thanks
You’re welcome 👍
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
thanks b, legendary job
All your vids a great. My top mount seat tightens fine, but i seem to have to re do it every few months. Is there a fix for that, or just par for the course? Love your work, has helped me with a few jobs,
Nice video question how fix the cover or how to disassemble it? Thanks
Good video. Will I be able to install a standard screw in toilet seat and tighten it from bottom after taking the two screws with plugs out shown in this video?
Brilliant video - 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Both of the items you've listed that are on Amazon show up as "currently unavailable." Nice video. Thank you.
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you Bill, you solved my problem
You’re welcome 👍
Nice one 👍
