Hi,

I am an not so handy pregnant mother of 2 with a problem. Being heavily pregnant, I have gained some weight and last weekend when going to the toilet I broke the cheap toilet seat that has been there since we moved in.
I called the agency that deals with my repairs and they said it would cost 120 pounds to replace. I have already bought the new seat.

Normally I would do it myself but the sink next to it has a drawer underneath and at the other side you have the wall. This leave me with no space to manoeuvre and get behind the toilet itself to unscrew the previous seat. I actually think the sink drawer was placed after the toilet seat and it is one of the normal toilet seats on it, since I cannot see the cap on top with possibility to unscrew it from the top.

Does anyone know how to proceed from here?

Thanks,
Lydia
 
Any chance of a few pics of the toilet?

"Blocked" bathroom sink, except it's not blocked
Hi everyone, I have an issue with my bathroom sink. It's been "blocking" regularly, maybe once a month, for at least 3 years. The sink fills with water and doesn't drain. In the past I've used "HG Liquid Drain Unblocker" and that often will clear the blockage, but it doesn't always. I've also...

Removing a bottom fitted toilet seat from a sealed pan.
My girlfriend and I just moved into a new apartment, and the toilet seat is in desperate need of replacing. I didn't think it'd be too much hassle, but I've run into a bit of trouble. The seat seems to be fixed from the bottom, but there's no way to access the bolt as its "inside" the toilet...
