Key Things to Check Before Buying
- Pan compatibility — not all seats fit all pans. Check the seat is compatible with your specific toilet model. Many seats are universal, but some (e.g. RAK Origin, Roper Rhodes Dana) are designed for specific pans.
- Seat shape — D-shape (most common in modern bathrooms) or round; measure your pan from front to back and side to side before ordering
- Fixing centres — the distance between the two hinge fixing holes; standard is 155mm but varies; always check before ordering
- Hinge type — top-fix (bolts down through the pan from above) or bottom-fix (nuts tightened from underneath); check which your pan requires
- Material — thermoplastic is lightweight and affordable; duroplast is heavier, more durable, and less prone to staining and discolouration

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which toilet seat will fit my toilet?
You need to check three things: the shape of your pan (D-shape or round), the fixing centre distance (measure between the two hinge bolt holes), and whether your pan requires top-fix or bottom-fix hinges. Many seats are described as "universal" and will fit a wide range of pans, but if you have a specific brand of toilet, look for a seat designed for that model for the best fit.
What is the difference between thermoplastic and duroplast toilet seats?
Thermoplastic (also called polypropylene or UF) seats are lightweight and affordable — the most common material. Duroplast seats are heavier, denser, and more resistant to staining, scratching, and discolouration over time. Duroplast is generally considered the premium choice for longevity and appearance.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes — most of our toilet seats can be ordered even when showing as out of stock, and we'll fulfil your order as soon as stock is available. If you need a specific delivery timeframe, please contact us at customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk before ordering.
