So, I was cleaning the bathroom...

and I moved the toilet tank lid to really get the bits of dust and such that tend to get on one of our toilets. (It is in the back in a bathroom that doesn't have a fan. So dust and stuff tends to build up in the strangest places).

Anyway, I dropped the lid and it cracked.


So, we went to OSH and to the Home Depot to buy a new one and they both only sold the tank and lid and not just the lid.

Where can I find just a lid? I don't need to replace the tank.

I think you will probably have to search for it online.

Whoda thunk it.

Price range from $70 to $470. It might be cheaper to just replace the toilet.

Look for a renovation reseller in your area -- we do property management and we have yet to not be able to find a lid for a toilet.

Try Craigslist for your area. Or Freecycle. Maybe someone is tossing or getting rid of perfectly good toilets in your area.

Thank you, everyone!

I didn't even think about using the internet because I assumed shipping costs would be far too high.

That's what you get for cleaning so thoroughly - a broken toilet.

Agreed. $470 for a replacement lid? Even $70 is too much. Insane!

Two words for you....duct tape.

Hmmm, maybe J.B. Weld could be used to glue it back together. Or, I know the G.E. silcone glue is used by some ceramic artists to glue ceramic items together permanently. (The stuff in the white & orange tube.) One guy was building a ceramic lamp. he said, during test experiments to see how good the G.E. stuff worked, he would smash the piece later with a hammer to get the parts in two again. The ceramic around the glued joints broke, but where he glued, it held together.

Then if necessary, there is stuff called "plumbers putty." You mix the two clay-like putties together and it can fill in any cracks, smooth it down with your fingers so it looks seamless. Then, just use some white acrylic paint over the putty to whiten it.
