Caroma Toilet Seats Buying Guide
Caroma toilet seats are made to fit specific Caroma pans, with soft close, quick release and GermGard options, plus hinge cap kits and an electronic bidet seat. This collection suits anyone replacing a worn seat on a Caroma toilet, matching hinges to new tapware, or adding a child seat or bidet to an existing suite.
Which Caroma toilet seat fits my toilet?
Each seat is designed for particular pans, so check the compatibility before ordering:
- Urbane II seat: Urbane II, Luna and Forma pans.
- Liano soft close seat: Urbane and Liano pans.
- Xena soft close seat: designed for Luna pans, and may suit others if the sizing matches.
- Profile soft close seat: Profile and Retro pans, plus Cameo, Caravelle, Concorde, Leda, Opal, Trident and Vintage pans.
- Urbane Compact seat: the Urbane Compact wall faced pan only.
- Contura II seat: the Contura II suite, including a Clay colour option.
The model name is usually stamped on the cistern or pan.
How do I measure for a Caroma seat?
Measure the ceramic pan, not the old seat. Record the hinge centres (between the two fixing holes), the pan length (from the hinge hole centre line to the front edge) and the widest point across the bowl. Check the front shape too: a D shape is flatter at the front, while an oval curves evenly. Compare these with the seat's technical specifications.
What is the difference between the Caroma seats?
The Liano and Xena are double flap, compression moulded seats with soft close and quick release chrome hinges that lift off with one click. The Urbane Compact seat includes a lid, hinges and a pair of hinge caps. The Profile comes with soft close hinges, or the Profile standard with lightweight plastic hinges for domestic use. The Trident is a snap-on detachable seat with adjustable pan fittings for domestic and light commercial use. GermGard antimicrobial protection is listed on the Family, Urbane II and Profile soft close seats. The Family D shape seat is a training seat with a detachable child seat that sits against the lid on magnets, and it fits Liano, Luna and Urbane wall faced and close coupled pans.
Can I change the colour of my toilet seat hinges?
Yes, with a hinge cap kit. The Urbane, Contura and Riviere kit suits Contura II, Urbane II and Luna Slim toilets in brushed brass, matte black and gunmetal, but not Urbane II Luxe suites. The Liano, Arc and Xena kit suits Liano and Luna suites in brushed brass, stainless steel, matte black, gunmetal and brushed bronze. Caps change the finish but don't replace a worn hinge.
What does the Caroma electronic bidet seat do?
It adds front and rear washing, adjustable water flow and temperature, warm air drying and a self-cleaning nozzle to a compatible Luna, Urbane, Urbane II or Liano suite. It includes dual check valves and an air gap for backflow prevention to AS 2845.2. It needs a power point near the toilet and should be installed by a licensed plumber.
How do I fit and care for a Caroma seat?
Fit the hinges loosely, align the seat, then tighten gradually, alternating sides, without over-tightening against the ceramic. To clean, lift a quick release seat off and wipe it with a pH-neutral cleaner, avoiding bleach and abrasive pads.
