How to Replace a Gerber Toilet Top

Replacing your toilet top is simple, easy and fast. There are a variety of toilet tops available for purchase, so make sure to match the oval or round shape of the toilet top with your toilet rim. Gerber toilets are no different from standard toilets and accept universal replacement parts and toilet seats that are available from any hardware store.
The toilet top is connected to the seat and is replaced as one unit, seat and top together. If you are looking for a replacement lid for your Gerber toilet tank, see Resources below.
