Find professional toilet seat installation services near you

Toilet seat installation is something most tradesmen don’t usually do, along with other “unusual” jobs like washing machine repairs & installation. But with Airtasker, you’ll be pleasantly surprised it’s easy to find many skilled specialists that do this. You can hire Taskers to do jobs like these and complement other jobs like plumbing, toilet repair, and bathroom renovation. It’s possible to find a Tasker and get it done within the day.

You have no obligation to supply your handyman with tools or equipment, as they usually bring what’s needed. The tools and equipment they have are also what they’re skilled at and most comfortable using. But should unexpected issues arise, like rusted securing bolts that can’t be unscrewed, feel free to lend cutting tools and safety equipment.

A job like this usually takes less than an hour. But please note that not all handymen do the service at the same speed, and consider that the job may come with unforeseen issues. It may take longer than usual to remove the old seat, or the new seat may not be a perfect fit, and the Tasker may have to make some adjustments.

Yes, a Tasker can help you with this. You can let them do part of the job, such as removing the old seat if its bolts or screws are too rusted, then you fit the new toilet seat afterwards. Taskers can assist you as long as you are clear on what you want them to do.

Choose a seat that gives the most comfort, is of the right size and shape such that its lid covers the toilet pan and provides a perfect seal. The seat should withstand daily use and must not warp when cleaned with bleach or other chemical cleaners. Choose a seat made of non-toxic, sturdy materials like moulded hardwood, durable plastic, ceramics or metal.

MDF or Medium-Density Fibreboard seats are cheap, but also flimsy and may pose serious health hazards. MDF seats usually have a thin outer layer that can weaken and tear off from daily use and harsh cleaning chemicals. This wear and tear can expose the inner MDF layers, which can act like a sponge that harbours germs and bacteria. Avoid using a loo with a broken MDF toilet seat, as this can raise your risk of serious illness.
