Membership and question​

Hi everyone just joined and have a question for any Plumbers out there.
How do I remove/replace a toilet seat with what appears to be only one fixture point, see photo attached.
Appreciate any suggestions, regards
Davida

I would expect to find nuts underneath the porcilain pan, that should when unscrewed allow the entire seat, (both pieces) to be lifted off.

Thank you for your suggestion, unfortunately the toilet it is a completely sealed unit from floor to tank with potentially only a single fixing point in between the two hinges for the opening/closing of the seat and lid, see photo.

Not sure, I'm not a plumber but I wonder if that is a screw/nut top between the 2 hinge rollers. If so try unscrewing that.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, that is my thought all so, however I can only move the screw a quarter of a turn anti-clock wise, I can not push the screw down or lift it up. Looks like I have to call in a plumber!

My answers would have been the same as Goodblokes and nicknames. After your quarter turn have you tried lifting the seats off it might just be a simple clip../ hoping

You read my mind Vinylted. This would be my next suggestion. The screw has a "lock" and "unlock" position. Fingers crossed.
