How are toilet seats attached?
Most toilet seats are attached to the toilet with fittings. These are held together by two bolts usually hidden by plastic caps at the back of the seat. You may need to crouch or get on the floor to access them properly. If there are plastic caps over the nuts, use your flathead screwdriver to remove them.
What are top fix toilet seats?
Top fixing toilets seats work by feeding two bolts into the pan which are then tightened from the top. Bottom toilet seat fixings are fitted from the top and then tightened from underneath, often with wing nuts.
