FAQs
Are these caps compatible with all toilet seats?
They are designed for standard toilet seat fittings. It is recommended to measure your existing hinge area against the 99 x 70 x 70mm specifications.
Is the finish prone to scratching?
The matt black finish is durable for typical bathroom use, but it should be cleaned with non-abrasive cloths to avoid surface scratches.
Can I use these on bottom-fix toilets?
Yes, provided the hinge mechanism allows for a cover cap to be placed over the bolt and fixing plate.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, these are designed for tool-free installation by simply snapping or placing them over the fixing assembly.
How do I remove them for cleaning?
Gently pry the cap from the base using your fingers or a flat, soft-edged tool to avoid damaging the finish.
Troubleshooting
The cap does not snap onto the hinge securely
Ensure that the hinge base is not obstructed by excess grout or mounting debris. Verify the hinge size matches the cap dimensions.
The cap feels loose or moves when the seat is lifted
Check that the original seat fixings are tightened to the toilet pan. A loose hinge will prevent the cap from seating correctly.

Care Instructions
