Sanding and re-staining a toilet seat

[Yukster]

I'd like to sand and re-stain my toilet seat. I read stuff saying to sand, stain and polythene it. Can someone advise what product to get (preferably satin finish) to polyurethane the toilet seat? TIA

I read somewhere that Ronseal advised a customer that none of thier products are suitable becuase urine splash might affect it. Any alternatives that would suit?

Lift the seat, sit down or improve your aim. If all else fails, use THIS.

I would presume that no company is going to definitely say, or guarantee, that their varnish is going to withstand urine, or even standing water.

I got the Rustin Yacht Varnish in satin. I sanded down the toilet seat and I'd like to stain it before varnishing. What wood stain would you recommend, preferably one that I can get easily. TIA

You stain or varnish, not both Or did you mean wood dye?

I meant wood dye. I'm a bit confused, sorry.

So just to double-check, having sanded my toilet seat made of oak (which came in mahogany finish) it is now stripped back to its natural wood colour. What's the best way to refinish it in mahogany and what should I use to achieve that. Wood dye (spirit-based or water-based?) and then varnish? Or stain?
