Toilet Seat

[jennyjoan]

Just back from toilet and found toilet seat bracket has snapped. May have it about 3 years now since I am unlucky with toilet seats. Soft close and only myself here so doesn't get much abuse.

Do you think 3 years is good

[Old_Geezer]

Sounds awful to me. But maybe this "soft close" thing shortens it's "lifespan".

[jno]

no I don't. I'm about to replace a 15yo one that has cracked (owning to having a fat person using it). Maybe you could contact the manufacturer and see if you can buy the bracket separately

[anneasquith]

Depends how much you paid for it jj .

[jennyjoan]

£30

[anneasquith]

Should have lasted longer for £30 .

[johnk]

Mine last much longer and there's 2 of us. We have standard seats with brass brackets.

Geez Jenny, how much punishment do you give a toilet seat?

[emmie]

mine broke after 3 years, they don't last long, even paying a lot, the brackets go.

[1ozzy]

Haven't replaced a toilet seat for at least 15 years, does bum size count?

[emmie]

no, as i said the brackets aren't all that good, mine was just replaced so will see how long it lasts.

[emmie]

i paid about the same as JJ, 30 quid.

[mallyh]

i have the soft close quick release seat ,cost about £ 25

[1ozzy]

Dunny seats are cheaper downunder, and last longer

[emmie]

they don't here it would seem.

[1ozzy]

Aw crap,,,

[emmie]

exactly........

//I have the soft close quick release seat //
Crap Mally, that sounds good to me.
Do you have any idea how much I struggle?

[mallyh]

lol :-) x^^^^^

[jennyjoan]

this is exact toilet but only one back bracket/thing broke

[jennyjoan]

couldn't get the link - it would be good to able to be able to buy the one broken hinge at the back of the toilet.
