Toilet

[Alwayslearning22]

I tried removing my toilet seat to clean it and I dropped the nut inside the hole. It’s one of these close to the wall toilet. What are my options do I need to remove toilet to fix the seat

Magnet maybe.

Post a picture of the other nut.  It will be possible to buy another one (probably sold as a pair)

My mum did this and I found this was what was needed.

 

This is for a Porcelanosa wall hung toilet. I would think it works for others, but you can probably look up a different make.

I assume that you still have the bolt otherwise you need this.

For future reference, you probably can just remove the seat by tilting it up at a 75 degree angle then pulling it straight up, don't unscrew anything like my mum!

Most of these are quick release as above. 
 

If you can identify the size of nut / thread then usually these are stainless steel (so a magnet won’t work) so don’t replace with mild steel.

Do you mean just replace the nut? Is it a standard type of nut that works with that plastic

Thanks Dave I’ll order one. 
Will that tighten well or am I going to have a sliding toilet seat
