Changing a toilet seat yourself is not only easy but comparatively affordable. The correct set of tools and the right size and shape of toilet seat is all that is required to get the job done.

Close the lid on the existing toilet seat and remove the screws at the back that hold it in place by unscrewing from the top while holding the lower portion that lies below lip of the toilet bowl with a wrench or fingers.

In case of an old toilet the screws may need a little lubrication or might have to be cut of with a hacksaw. Remove the toilet seat and clean the area thoroughly right through the holes.

Place the new seat on top of the bowl so that the holes on the ceramic bowls match with those of the seat. Use the provided rubber gaskets and screw it in place with a wrench.
