Is this really how they make them these days - recycled grey plastic
overpainted white? LOL
Sounds like you bought the bog-standard model from the bottom of the
range. It was probably made in China where it would be top of the
range, so they wouldn't poo poo it. It's an ill wind .....
Is £25 considered bottom range cheap for a bog seat?

Dunno. That's what a solid wood one costs from the builders merchant.

For those of us who pee standing up, it is amazing how many solid wood
seats fail to remain upright. Is this due to retro fitting where the
original seat was OK?
