Toto toilet seat broken hold to toilet
The one piece slow dropping seat has an integral attachment, this has
a lip molded to it that holds it in place by the bolt. Well the lip broke off (granddaughter child seat put stress on it, I guess), so now only one bolt is holding. This looks non repairable to me. Any thoughts. |

You might be able to epoxy it back together. Better, contact the manfuacturer for a replacement. Aftermarket generic replacement are also available. They have a big selectin at the BORG. |

I've tried several epoxies on a plastic toilet seat and none of them lasted. Bemis (world's largest maker) was completely unhelpful with a replacement hinge. I just took the old seat down to HD and bought the closest matching replacement seat which cost around $10. Problem solved permanently following a 2 mintute installation job. My conclusion was: don't mess around with these things. Just replace with something that fits and you like. If you can't find anything suitable, try contacting Toto. I imagine they're more helpful than Bemis (they couldn't be less so). -- |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | Malcolm Hoar "The more I practice, the luckier I get". | | Gary Player. | | http://www.malch.com/ Shpx gur PQN. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

If epoxy fails in the long term, try plastic welding which should be as strong as the original plastic. |

Forget all the glue and trying to re-attach weak plastic to the weak plastic seat bracket. Take two, flat washers (metal) that will cover the seat bracket area, keeping the detached plastic rings, if still intact, and re-attach the bolts through the toilet and voila. You now have a much sturdier attachment in place and you don't have to worry about whether glued plastic can hold up. |

You now have a much sturdier attachment in place and you don't have to worry about whether glued plastic can hold up. Me thinks me posted too soon ... The Cover of the seat does NOT go back far enough, unless the washers are really thin, and perhaps made of a thinner plastic as well. The metal flat washers DO hold the seat down nicely, but with that cover not going back far enough, that poses a new problem. I'm still working on a better solution.. |
