Broken Toilet Seat needs New "Hinges" (or new everything)

[DIYNotIan]

Hi all

The hinge parts on my toilet seat have broken. I don't know the first thing about such things... Is it possible to buy just those parts and if so would I have to find exact replacements or are there universal ones that would work? Or do I need to get a whole new seat. It is a bit of an unusual shape. And it has always been in the house so I don't know where it was bought from...

Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

might as well buy a new seat

if money is tight, Wilko usually have seats with hinges at very low prices.

Feel the weights, and get the more solid one.
