Hi,
Hoping someone can advise, I’m looking to replace the toilet seat on my Roca The Gap compact toilet to a soft close. Can anybody point me in the direct of a suitable ‘generic’ seat that will fit and not cost in excess of £60? Also is another option to just change the hinges to soft close or is this not a viable solution as I would need to replace the whole seat?
Cheers
Si

not all toilet seats are the same shape- this roca, is a £400 toilet and the seat is done to match. you could pay upwards of £300 for a seat for some toilets therefore £50 dont sound too bad. 'D' seats have always been a bit pricey especia;;y compared to standard ovals.

you could try screwfix, local merchants or ebay but dont expect the perfect match as it will just be guess work.

Piece of card on top of pan under seat and draw round it, then off to merchants to find a match.

But as Redsaw said 50 or 60 quid for a toilet seat isn't bad.

There is a company that will make you a seat from a cardboard template but the cost is eye watering.
