Dear Team

i have IDEAL STANDARD WC D shape toilet, unfortunately the seat cover is very loose, can't find any below screws to fix or tighten. Can any one help to fix this.
as with lockdown school's being closed and everyone at home we're really struggling as the seat is very wobbly. The toilet is fully attached with wall but can't find any below or back the toilet for excess screws. I would appreciate if I can get any advice or help in regards to that.



Regards

MM

Tighten the cross headed screws

as for the leak needs further investigation
 
Try lifting so there’s no wiggle / isn’t loose and tightening the screws

the leak in the ceiling pics ?
 
Seats fixings with a screw are inserted from above, there are vaious types from plastic wedges to rubber bungs.
If the screw won't tighten, its probably corroded into the fixing.

As Shaun, sometimes pulling the seat up to put pressure on the fixing and tightening the screw works.
If not then it's a case of hacksaw through the screw, let the lower part fall behind the pan and use a new fixing.

The one below is from toolstaion, lots of others are available if you seacrh, but check the length of screw need before buying.
