    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.

      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.

    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.

      ​@@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.

    • @billware6721
      @billware6721 Před 4 měsíci +9

      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.

    • @rickyhank118
      @rickyhank118 Před 2 měsíci

      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

    • @johnmartinez7440
      @johnmartinez7440 Před 2 měsíci

      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.

  • @simonefuller421

  • @SkippyC137
    @SkippyC137 Před 6 měsíci +6

    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.

  • @JenLong-jo7nd
    @JenLong-jo7nd Před 3 měsíci +4

    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 😊💪

    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 .

    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
