A toilet seat isn’t the star of your bathroom, but it’s definitely part of the supporting cast that makes the whole space work. The right one blends comfort, hygiene, and design in a way you notice every day. From adding a seamless finishing touch to your bathroom’s look, to making daily use just that bit more comfortable, it’s a small upgrade that delivers big on practicality and style.

Whether you are renovating, replacing a broken seat, or simply upgrading to something more comfortable, BUCO offers a wide range of toilet seats for sale across South Africa to suit every need and budget.

Measure the distance between the two mounting holes at the back of the toilet and check the overall bowl shape. A perfect fit is essential for comfort and stability.

Toilet bowls come in two main shapes: round and elongated. Your seat needs to match your bowl exactly to look right and function properly.

Plastic seats are lightweight, affordable, and easy to clean. Wooden seats offer a warmer, more traditional look. You can also choose from high-durability models or soft-close seats that prevent slamming.

Standard hinges work well for most toilets, while quick-release hinges make cleaning easier by allowing you to remove the seat with minimal effort.

Some seats feature contoured shapes, extra padding, or ergonomic designs to make everyday use more comfortable.

• Classic White Seats: A versatile choice that suits almost any bathroom style.
• Soft-Close Seats: Ideal for preventing noise and accidental damage.
• Wooden Seats: Add a touch of warmth and traditional charm.
• Decorative and Designer Seats: Available in colours and patterns for a more personalised look.
• Hygienic Antibacterial Seats: A great option for households focused on extra cleanliness.

If you are pairing your new seat with a full toilet upgrade, BUCO also stocks a range of toilets in different styles and configurations.

• Budget-friendly: Basic plastic seats that are functional and easy to clean.
• Mid-range: Soft-close seats or those with enhanced styling.
• Premium: Designer finishes, extra features, or high-end materials.

Brand reputation, hinge type, and durability also influence price. To get the best value, compare different models online and in-store before making your purchase.

Replacing a toilet seat is simple and usually requires just a screwdriver or adjustable spanner.

1. Remove the old seat by unscrewing the bolts at the back.
2. Align the new seat and secure it in place using the provided fixtures.
3. Check for stability before use.

For maintenance, wipe down regularly with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to preserve the finish and hygiene.
