      YOURE THE SAME AGE AS ME, IF YOU CAN DO IT, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT. I SHOULD UNSCREW THE TOILET SEAT FIRST THEN TRY TO REMOVE IT TO SEE EXACTLY HOW MY TOILET SEAT FITS ON MY TOILET THEN TRY TO FIX IT.

  • @lduranceau8046
    @lduranceau8046 2 роки тому +8

    Bill, thanks for the help! My American Standard toilet seat was very loose, and I felt intimidated about trying to fix it myself. I followed your instructions closely, and it turned out to be much easier than I thought. Now 1) the seat no longer slips out of position, and 2) it is much easier to clean around the round white cover. It's funny, I never once thought of pulling the seat cover vertically to remove it. You made me appreciate the DIY idea, plus you saved me a plumber's house call.

  • @danhaynes417
    @danhaynes417 2 роки тому +7

    Bill you bloody legend! I've had a new bathroom for three years and the toilet seat has kept coming loose. I've been on me back tightening those bastard little plastic claw strews every couple of weeks. It's ten in the morning here but my wife seriously just suggested we crack a bottle of bubbles to celebrate our newly secured toilet seat.

    I have been trying for ages to turn the screw under the toilet and couldn't understand why it didn't tighten. Today I resorted to YT and found you Bill. Went straight upstairs 10 minutes ago and it is all fixed. My son will think I am pretty cool as he has been cursing it for the last couple of months! So thank you so much!

I’m a sixty year old female who likes to try and have a go herself first but this had me flummoxed. But thanks to you video I felt capable again. Can’t thank you enough. Small thing but could cost a person had we not had you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰🥰👵🏻👵🏻

    @JustD135 2 роки тому +2

    Thank you very much Bill! This video made me the happiest person on earth. I was asking my boyfriend to fix the toilet seat for ages, and he just wanted to find someone to do it. But because we live abroad it was taking him ages to find a service. I told him to find it on UA-cam and that he can to it himself.
    Finally, today I found your video and showed him how easy it is. Now I can tell him that “I TOLD YOU SO” 😂😂
    This video is 10/10

    WOW! Bill you are amazing! I have a gorgeous glitter toilet seat with hidden fixings in my bathroom! My lovely neighbour, who has been a knight in shining armour to me, fitted my new toilet seats and advised me that if they ever came loose, that he would be happy to readjust them. As a single, almost 60 year old woman, I like to be as self sufficient as possible. Without having to keep asking other kind souls for help. I googled for help on this issue, and hey presto, your video came up in exactly the right place for taking off the toilet seat and adjusting the hidden screws!!! OMG - I found a selection of screwdrivers, as I had no idea which one would work and with incredible ease, removed the toilet seat and tightened the screws and now it doesn't move. I feel very happy and incredibly accomplished now I have fixed my wiggly seat! A very happy fan! 😍 I could hug you!! x

    THANK YOU so much for this great easy to follow video! I'm a 77 yo widow and you've saved my sanity. I'm unable to bend /kneel due to a dodgy hip and the skewing toilet seat was a nuisance to say the least. So it was a blessing to realise I can do this from above and don't have to reach down under the toilet, groping for the bolts like with my old toilet. I'm a subscriber now as I'm sure you can teach me other stuff I can learn to do myself. BIG hugs!

  • @mr.reeves2764
    @mr.reeves2764 25 днів тому

    Thank you so much, huge help. It was my mother's toilet. She's 78. She was afraid she was going to fall off and break her hip. I was stumped. I didn't know how to fix that toilet. It was the cadet style, so the wings were hidden underneath. Until you show me that, those pieces were pistons. And you push them and that removes that seat to reveal pins then they were US Allen's that were up under it. Outstanding, really appreciated man. I was about to call a plumber and be out of about $500.

    Half my seat popped off and I had no idea how to fix, and the way it popped off basically made the toilet useless until the seat was back! Got it fixed in a jiffy thanks to you mate!
