Do all toilet seats fit any toilet?
Not all toilet seats fit every toilet—though it might seem like they should. Toilets come in different shapes and sizes, and it’s important to match the seat to the bowl type, whether it’s round, oval, or D-shaped. At Rinkit, our collection of toilet seats is designed to fit the most common UK standards, but it's always a good idea to measure your existing seat and hinge spacing before choosing a replacement. Many of our models come with adjustable fittings, making installation simpler and more forgiving even if your measurements are slightly off. So while toilet seats aren’t strictly one-size-fits-all, finding a compatible option is easier than you might think—especially with a bit of preparation. Our selection includes both classic designs and modern features like soft-close hinges and quick-release mechanisms for hassle-free cleaning and use.
What is the best material for a toilet seat?
The best material for a toilet seat really depends on your preferences for comfort, durability, and style. Plastic seats, particularly thermoset plastic, are popular for their resistance to scratches, stains, and discolouration. They’re lightweight, affordable, and often the go-to choice for modern bathrooms. Wooden toilet seats—whether made from MDF or natural solid wood—bring a warmer, more traditional look. They're sturdy and tend to feel more substantial, which many people prefer. At Rinkit, we stock a range of both, so whether you're after the sleek, minimalist look of a white plastic seat or the classic charm of oak or walnut-effect wood, there's something here to suit your bathroom’s aesthetic. Soft-close features are available across both materials, adding a touch of comfort and reducing everyday wear and tear.
Style meets everyday practicality
It’s easy to overlook, but the toilet seat is one of the most used fixtures in any home—so it pays to choose one that’s comfortable, reliable, and easy on the eye. Our toilet seats at Rinkit combine smart design with everyday practicality, offering options that are easy to fit, easy to clean, and built to last. From subtle neutrals to more characterful finishes, they’re an easy way to update your bathroom without the fuss of a full makeover. And with quality fittings and trusted materials, they’re designed to make everyday living that little bit smoother.
