Replace Your Toilet Tank Lid
The toilet tank lid covers the flushing mechanisms of the toilet and prevents items from falling into the water tank. A ceramic or porcelain lid can easily crack if it falls or if you drop it while making repairs within the tank. Thankfully, replacing a toilet tank lid can be as easy as matching the size, color and style of the toilet and buying a new lid. At Lowe’s we offer many lid covers for toilets to complement your toilet’s tank.
If your toilet has buttons to flush on the lid, look for a compatible toilet tank lid replacement, but note that it won’t include the button or the flushing mechanism.
Some toilet lids are designed to work with specific toilet models so check the product information before making a purchase. For example, if you have an American Standard toilet, you may need to look for a specific American Standard toilet tank lid replacement.
Many people use toilet tops to store spare rolls of toilet paper or a box of tissues. If the top of your lid is rounded however, those items can slide off into the open toilet. Consider replacing your toilet tank lid with one that has a lip around the edge to keep your objects secure.
If your bathroom is small, the toilet tank cover can be a useful storage surface. You may also consider an over-the-toilet shelf to take advantage of the unused space behind the toilet for storing towels and toiletries.
Find a Replacement Toilet Tank Lid by Material
Choose a lid that fits your toilet tank, but also consider the durability of the material and the look you want. A plastic toilet tank lid can be very durable and long lasting, but a porcelain or ceramic lid may look better in your bathroom, depending on your fixtures and accessories. Find the balance of durability and appearance that works best for you.
