How to fix a loose toilet seat, soft close hidden bolts toilet seat fixing  

Absolutely brilliant! I fixed my own loo seat, no handyman needed! Thank you! x

Thank you! I'm a widow and trying to get use to doing bits and pieces for myself. Precisely the video I needed.

That's nothing, what if the screw is loose from the nut, in an enclosed system. Your video says 'soft close hidden bolts toilet seat fixing", show us how to change the when the nut is loose and you cannot tighten the screw.

Thank you for a very useful bit of info given in a clear manner - even guys like me who are afraid to tackle things like this will give it a go !! Many thanks again.

Perfect - worked a treat. I was reluctant to tighten really right and it was a paint to get it aligned. Did it the best I could.

Great video Barney, thanks! Didn't have a clue how to do this yesterday! Now all done!

My God thank you for this vid. My toilet is a VidaXL, no screwdrivers needed but there I was trying to unscrew everything but this guide was great!!!

just done this and fixed. thanks alot for the clear instructions and no fancy intros etc straight to the point. job done. wife now happy lol

Fantastic! Before seeing this video I was trying to figure out how to tighten screws under toilet (Laying on the floor trying to get hand & arm up the back - Nightmare!) THANK YOU

it is a clear explanation. perfect. I managed to fix my toilet seat very quickly after this video. Thank you

This video was what I needed! Thanks so much for uploading!

I was told today by an experienced builder that 'the only way to do this is saw off the lugs and your likely to damage the enamel a bit then buy a new quick release seat' THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO .

Thanks saved $200 did it myself. Women Girls can renovate and fix things around the house!!!

Thanks Barney, my son & I have just moved into a new house and the toilet seat in my en suite shower room is very loose. Rather than moaning at the site manager about poor quality fixings as some people do, and getting said site manager up here, if I can fix it myself I won’t need to bother them. I’ll take my phone upstairs in a bit and follow your instructions step by step. It looks easy enough to do though. X

Straightforward to follow, effective outcome, BIG thankyou.

thank you finally a video that made sense!!! fixed in two minutes. thanks so much

Great video Barney, just moved to a house where all 3 loos are the square type and ALL loose

Thank you this helped so much!

Thank you 🙏 The most valuable thing on the internet

I'm a joiner and kept putting this job off as I thought I had to pull the whole toilet out from the wall. Now I know how, I will get to it tomorrow 😉

Thank you sooo much! I was sliding side to side on the toilet…..have had this style of toilet/seat for 6 years and never really knew how to fix the problem, as I couldnt get behind the toilet!!

Absolutely nailed it - thanks - fixed my loo in no time - too easy

Brilliant. Well explained. Thank you

Thanks Barney for your great help!

thanks for making this, a real life saver.

Did mine in 5 mins. Thanks 🙏🏽

Thanks very much That sorted my loose seat

Excellent video, I did everything, as you did step by step, my toilet seat is tightened ( am a widow, so dont have a 'handy man')

This saved me time & expense. Thx!

excellent. thankyou. prob saved me around £100

Great clear DIY. Thanks had no clue how to get the loose secured.

Really useful vlog…thank you for sharing…👍🏻

Thanks , this is a really useful easy video

Thank you for tge excellent video however my toilet seat which is a lqfen seat does not have plastic clips nor does it have the crome buttons to release the seat from the protruding rods. I dont know how to remove the seat to tighten it

Thank you sooooo much!!! Very helpfull.

Excellent video , thnak you , ... how do you replace the fittings please .. i have a loose one that wont tighten up

How do you tighten a loose/rocking commode with the same type of screws that are placed side ways like yours?

Hey Barney this is great. Please can I ask what make and model of toilet that is? My toilet seat has broken since tightening it all up and I need to get a new one and it looks exact same. Thanks so much!

Worked a treat for the countries worst Diyer/handyman,believe me I’m next to useless and I did it …cheeers mester 👍👏👏

Good share. My toilet is closed but the part where the seat is fixed to toilet does not have screws.

Excellent work!

What do the fixings that go into the porcelain look like and how do you measure the distance between the legs so they fit back into the toilet seat?

Good video. But I can't seem to work out how to remove the old toilet seat as I would like to replace mine. Any suggestions please.

I did it! Thank you.

You Legend thanks for this video!!

With our loo its loose again within 3 days no matter what I do Ive even replaced the fixings a few times it makes no difference Im starting to think about some kind of glue under the connectors to keep the thing tight.

Thank you you very much you saved me a lot off money 💰 🤑 💸 🙏

Thanks Barney!

Work done well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Your confidence in the cleanliness of that toilet is impressive as you lean your arms on the rim and rub your hands through your hair. Must be Mrs Hinch's loo 😁 Oh yeh, useful video too.

How to I fix mine seat as it does not have any screws like the one shown.

WHat to do if the previous owner has over tighten the screws or damaged the intetnal nut you cannot reach, so you can never get the screw tight anymore? WHat a crap design.

thank you!

Thankyou for showing how to do this

You life saver 👍🏻

Hi One of the actual bolts has snapped off. How do I remove them and can I buy new ones as there isn’t anything wrong with the actual unit Thanks in advance 😁

Seems like both my screws don’t tighten. Just keeps spinning and spinning. Don’t know what to do now

Great demo and just in time for me 🥴

What if the screw wont tighten? The washer inside seems to keep going round with it

Many thanx.

Brilliant cheers

Just the job. Cheers.

Thank you

Thanks

Brilliant

Thank you.

Cheers bro 🤙

Thanks m8 👍

Nice one bro

My toilet seat has lost its soft closing,what l do to fix it?

What do you do if the part on the underside falls off, I heard it drop and now you can just pull the bolt right out. Do I have to remove the whole toilet from the unit?

Thanks- have done this twice but one of the pivots always works loose again after 3 or 4 days What next please?

I thought this would be the case for mine too, but the screws are tight and it's not moving...I think my actual seat is fitting loosely on the metal connector part rather than the screws being the issue... has anyone else had this problem??

My sear does not have the button

no need to take out the little plastic bits press the buttons and the whole lot pops off

What do I do if the bolt on the underside of the Phillips screw has dropped off? How do I replace this? Please help 😂

Mine has been tightened maximum and still swivels.

My screw won’t bite at all

Whoever fitted that seat is a cowboy 🤠 loose even after tightnes 😂

Aaaahh it was the buttons for me! That helped me take it out, phew such a relief. Now finally half of my ass wont fall into the toilet

How to fix soft close on toilet seats

Easy to install, ru-vid.comUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.

Dangerous type of seat, kids refuse to use it

My silver caps won't come off.

Uuuu

where some gloves!
