My toilet sit has just cracked, can I fix it or do i need any expertise help.
Toilet seats are often found very durable in designs and most of them are made of wooden or particle board to solid wood. Also padded seats are just a padded induced on wooden seat by any adhesive solution. So, its normal to find crack or patch on a toilet seat after long use or by any accident, which also can be repaired by you without any specialized knowledge. You will not need any advanced tool but Basic DIY tools .
Let see the step by step method of fixing a broken or cracked toilet seat:
Step 1: At first remove that cracked toilet seat from the toilet fixture by unscrewing the seat screws using a flat screwdriver.
Step 2: Spread the crack slightly and push wood glue or wooden adhesive solution inside of it. Make sure the glue coated entire inner surface of the crack.
Step 3 : Squeeze the seat together you can use bar clamp. Wipe out any excess glue on the outer surface of the crack
Step 5 : dry overnight or minimum 6 hours and re-install it.
Note: if you find it's cracked or split heavily , or if it is pinching your back. Or if it seems nasty to look at then think about it .Toilet seats are pretty reasonable, so price shouldn't be an issue. If you don't want to look at the nasty underside, get rid of it and replace with a better one.

SOURCE: elongated toilet doesn't fit where a round toilet was installed
Hi. There are toilets designed to accept a round seat and there are other toilets designed to accept an elongated seat. The primary difference is that the round seat fits a round bowl and the elongated seat fits an elongated bowl.
I recommend that you return the elongated seat and exchange it for a round toilet seat. good luck

SOURCE: toilet seat cracked need replacement and aprrox.
Hello. A new seat is available at any hardware store. Elongated seats cost anywhere from 20-40. If you need to have it installed it will be significantly more. House calls are generally at least $50.00. Be sure to get a price up front as it only takes 5 minutes to replace a toilet seat.
If you want to do it yourself, unscrew the old one and screw on the new. That's it. Joe

I just had the same problem.I can not believe that kohler would design such a flaw. I have four of these toilets in my house,and it would be ridiculously expensive to replace, especially for a seat. To fix it I went to OSH and got some 1/4-20 T nuts, went home cut the bolts off the seat (multi master dremel) with metal cutting blade. With a screw driver tapped the bolt and the small area around the bolt down into the toilet area. Now you have just a porcelain hole. Clean area with solvent (lacquer thinner),get some gel type super glue from hobby shop and put it on inside and top edge of the hole on the toilet. Put some glue around the shaft and under side of the T nut and slip it into the hole.Then put a SMALL bead of glue around where the T nut makes contact with toilet and let it dry aprox 1/2 hour. Now you have a permanent fix.To prevent a problem getting the bolt out in the future,put some anti seize (auto part store) on the threads of the new bolts. Hope this helps.
Good luck
Max
