Bathroom questions

[bainbridge]

Hi all

We're getting a new bathroom and I was just wondering, with these modern square toilets how can you possibly get at the underside if the toilet seat needed changing?

Here is a link to one of the toilets I'm on about:

They can have top fixings, so you don't need to get underneath.

I am not a fan of square toilets though.

Yah, they clip on and clip off from the top.

Get a Japanese/shower toilet if you're getting a new one bathroom - it's 2026!

also remember if you have to get a new seat they are a pain to source and quite expensive
we have one when seat gets loose it is often a case of removing toilet to refix

I've got a rectangular toilet, there are some minor inconveniences definitely.
As already mentioned, if the seat ever breaks, PITA to replace if you don't have a top-clip seat.
Also the toilet mats with the U shape do not fit the base. The alternative is just to use a normal rectangular mat.
If I had a remodel or needed a replacement in the future, I'd just get a normal one tbh.
