Toilet Tank Lids

Toilet tank lids are replacement covers made to fit a specific toilet tank, so the right choice depends on the toilet you already own rather than on style alone. Tank lids are moulded to match the shape, length and colour of a particular tank, which is why they are sold by series and model rather than as one-size-fits-all parts. This page brings together tank lids and covers from American Standard and Icera, with examples such as the Cadet® PRO 12-Inch Rough Toilet Tank Cover, the Champion 4 MAX Toilet Tank Lid and the Richmond 2P Tank Lid.

Before you shop, find the model number of your toilet. It is usually printed or stamped inside the tank, often on the back wall or under the old lid. Match that number to the lid listing, then confirm the colour. Finishes offered here include Gloss White, White, Bone, Linen and Matte White, and whites from different years or manufacturers can look slightly different side by side, so compare against your bowl and seat rather than relying on the name alone. If the old lid is missing, noting whether the toilet is one-piece or two-piece and single or dual flush will help narrow the search.

What to check before you buy

• Find your toilet model number first. Look inside the tank, on the back wall or the underside of the old lid, for a stamped or printed number. Lids are made for specific tanks, so this number is the most reliable way to match a replacement.
• Check the series name on the tank. Series names such as Cadet, Champion, Boulevard, Studio and Heritage help narrow the search, but the same series can have more than one tank shape. Confirm the full model number rather than the series alone.
• Match the colour, not just the name. White, Bone, Linen and Matte White can each vary a little between product lines and production years. Compare the listed finish with your bowl and seat in daylight if you can.
• Note one-piece, two-piece and flush type. One-piece and two-piece toilets use different tank shapes, and dual flush tanks often have a button opening in the lid. Knowing which you have avoids ordering a cover that does not sit properly.

Frequently asked questions

Will any toilet tank lid fit my toilet?

No. Tank lids are shaped for a specific tank, so a lid from another model will usually not sit flush or cover the opening correctly. Use your toilet's model number to find the matching cover.

Where do I find my toilet's model number?

It is typically stamped or printed on the inside back wall of the tank, or on the underside of the existing lid. The bowl may carry a separate number, so look at the tank itself.

Why does my new white lid look different from my toilet?

White shades are not identical across product lines or years, and glaze can change tone over time. Check the exact finish name in the listing, such as Gloss White, Bone or Linen, and compare it with your bowl before ordering.
