Toilet seat not staying up?
Gareth
bit too far forward for the seat to stay up.
I've tried altering the position of the fixings (and even lost a double hole
washer down the toilet in the process - and can't find anywhere to buy a
replacement!)
Has anyone else had the same problem and managed to solve it without raising
the cistern?

Would raising the cistern ( even if possible) solve the problem? ..I

Just a thought - is the seat a thick wooden one? A thin plastic one
might work. The thinner the seat is, the further back the centre of mass
can go.

Nope. I guess a rubber cord to the seat hooked around the pipe might work.
Mind you that house is all women largely, and the lid alone *just* stays
up, so 'no problem' innit?
I'd get a slimline cistern IIWY.

Is it fouling on the the cistern or the cistern handle?
i.e. the furthest forward part of the cistern may be the handle
(assuming it's on the front) - it is on mine - the handle extends 38mm
out from the cistern.
When I get the time, I plan to replace the handle with something like:
http://www.partridges.uk.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=494_43_68&products_id=562
or:
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/17031/Plumbing/Toilet-Fittings/Toilet-Cistern-Lever-Chrome#
Both of which look as if they extend far less than 38mm. In my case I
reckon that 10mm less would fix the problem.

No, it's a bugger, but it don't arf keep small blokes on their toes
when they are peeing.
Just showed me to be more careful when buying badly designed crap. (Or

Change the toilet seat & lid. Rummage around in B&Q opening boxes till you
find a seat with multiple fixing points. These normally have three threaded
holes in the hinge so you can screw the bolts into the best fit & also
revolve to help in lining things up.

There is only one way to do that! It might appear odd, but glue a couple of
small
strong magnets to the cistern on an underside edge. Attach a small piece of
metal
the the toilet seat, maybe bending it around on an inside edge at the front
and glue
it. Then the seat will stay up. Or you could glue a few strong magnets to
the
back of the seat when it is flat, then put a small piece of metal (painted
to match)
on the rear of the toilet. Those really strong small magnets will easily
hold it.

We have the same problem except the plank that did the bathroom before
we had the house actually put the toilet in on a forward tilting angle
then fitted slate floor tiles cut around (and up) the base of the toilet.
So, we have a 6 yr old weeing on the seat. Myself I do a ladies (or
lazyman) style wee and 'er don't even know there's anything wrong with
it as she's never attempted weeing standing up..... well, I hope not as
our old dog may have been blamed for nothing for all these years!

I have a theory that all bathrooms are designed by a woman. Their
attention to detail means that the toilet seat is always in the down
position :-(

Did you never see the film 'The Full Monty? Where the young lad is in a
cubical watching a woman peeing like a man does. Hitches skirt up, drops
knickers almost to the floor and then pees onto the back of the urinals.

The two fixings I've encountered are made with rotatable disks that
sit over the holes in the ceramic. The disks have two 'nut' sections,
either of which can take the fixing bolts. This means a wide range of
positions for the lid hinges can be set up, and I had to bring the
pivots to the maximum distance towards you, to allow the heavy lid to
stay up. A possible trouble was that the lid was now so far forward
that the front edge of the pan was almost fully visible.

I fitted a slimline plastic cistern. A bit pikey but it gave me extra
space for 2" of insulation behind, plus the seat stayed up.

Thanks for all the replies - it seems though as if there isn't a simple
solution. I can't help but think that I've missed something in terms of
fixing alignment but I've tried every permutation possible.
I may try to find a thinner plastic seat but I'm not convinced it will solve
the problem. It looks as if I will need to buy a new set anyway because
there's nowhere to buy replacement (2 hole) fixing washers from.
It's crazy really. I can't believe that someone would install a toilet
without checking that the seat can stay up. But they obviously did - either

Are you sure that neither the seat to pan fixing, nor the seat to hinge
fixing doesn't have a second hole or slot to allow for the seat to be
moved forward on the pan?

Thank you. Yes, there is a second hole. Problem is I managed to lose the 2
hole washer (the one that fits between the seat and pan) down the toilet! It
doesn't seem possible to buy a replacement anywhere so I guess I'm going to
have to buy a different seat anyway. Very frustrating.

The ones I've dealt with have been rubber/plastic washers: metal against
porcelain doesn't sound like a good idea. Can you find something with a
little 'give' in it to go between the two surfaces?

As others have suggested, flipping the little mounting plates round can
buy you another half inch or so, but it sounds like you tried that.
I am imagining a cantilevered counterweight (or spring) attached to the
seat, so that it defaults to the UP position, like on aeroplanes. No
more getting smacked on the todger in mid-flow.

German males are generally required to urinate sitting, at least in
domestic premises.
However, a lot of younger females are quite practised at urinating
standing -- very useful in the great outdoors and at music festivals
etc.

1. Attach a flat magnet to the underside of the seat.
2. Attach a ferromagnetic metal to a short string attached to a hook attached to the side of the cistern. I used a tablecloth weight as sold by Lidl/Aldi. lift the seat and attach the metal to the magnet.
or attach a cord around the cistern or to a hook on the side of the cistern and adjust it with one of those spring tighteners you find on waterproof jackets and hold the seat up with a loop of cord thus: sorry pictures don't appear here.

Anyway, normally you can find toilet seats with enough crank on the hinge
to manage to stay up and some have a soft click position to help them do so.
I have one of them posh slow drop down ones.

the famous cracked bath. We solved the bath problem by using a
different bathroom, which also solved the WC lid problem, but, when we
did use it, I solved the problem as above or, during the night, always
sat rather than stood which meant I didn't need to turn a light on, and

to aim, if sitting. However, I am convinced that I pass more standing
than sitting, i.e. sitting, there is the vague suspicion that the
bladder is not quite as empty as it would have been, had I been
standing. Is that bollocks, or fact? Anything to do with how tubes are

https://www.curejoy.com/content/which-is-healthier-for-men-peeing-standing-or-sitting/
o pee or not to pee standing up is the question. For starters, sitting down ensures that you don't leave behind any pee on the toilet seat. Sitting down also improves your bladder and prostate health, reduces LUTS, and fully empties your bladder. Some experts also associate sitting down to pee with better sexual performance, thanks to improved prostate health.
