How do I know which Gala toilet model I have?
Correctly identifying your Gala toilet model is the first step to choosing the right seat. Follow these steps in order:
- 1 Check the inner side of your current seat
Many Gala models have the model name engraved or printed on the inner side of the seat. You can also look for the manufacturer's name on the cistern lid or on its side. If you can't find it, contact us.
- 2 Check the original installation manual
If you still have the toilet manual, you'll find the full model reference along with installation instructions and exact measurements.
- 3 Measure your toilet
If you can't locate the exact model of your Gala toilet, taking the correct measurements is the definitive solution to find a compatible seat. All you need is a measuring tape and these three measurement points:
| Measurement |
How to measure it |
Approximate reference |
| Maximum width (A) |
At the widest point of the toilet bowl |
Between 33 and 40 cm depending on the model |
| Total length (B) |
From the front edge of the toilet to the center of the rear fixing holes |
Between 33 and 49 cm depending on the model |
| Distance between fixings (C) |
Center to center of the two holes where the seat is bolted |
Between 10 and 26 cm depending on the model |
|
 |
📏 Important: Original Gala seats have specific fixed measurements for each model. For adaptable Resiwood seats, the hinges allow some adjustment of the length and distance between holes. If in doubt, contact us before placing your order.
- 4 Send us a photo
Our team of experts can identify your Gala model if you send us photos of your toilet. With a top view and a side view photo we can identify the model precisely. Write to us via WhatsApp or email and we'll respond within 24 hours.

Top or bottom fixing depending on the model
Depending on the Gala toilet model, the seat may be mounted with top fixing (hinges visible from above) or bottom fixing (bolted from underneath the bowl). The Marina model, for example, changed its fixing system in 2007, moving from horizontal to vertical. Each seat comes with its specific installation instructions included.
Frequently asked questions about Gala toilet seats
How do I know the model of my Gala toilet?
Look for the model name engraved on the inner side of the seat, on the cistern lid or on its side. You can also check the original installation manual. If you can't find it, send us a photo of the toilet from above and from the side and we'll help you identify it within 24 hours.
How do I know the size of my Gala toilet seat?
Measure three points: Length (from the front edge to the center of the fixing holes), Width (at the widest point) and Distance between fixings (center to center of the holes).
IMPORTANT: MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN FROM THE TOILET, NOT FROM THE OLD SEAT
Do adaptable seats fit well on Gala toilets?
Yes. They are manufactured specifically for each Gala model with precise fit according to the original dimensions. There may be minimal finish differences compared to the original, but the functional fit is correct. They are the perfect solution for discontinued models such as the Loa, Nostalgia, Gala 2000, Espacio or Bacara.
Do you have seats for discontinued Gala models?
Yes. We have adaptable Resiwood seats compatible with virtually all discontinued Gala models. Furthermore, as they are made in lacquered MDF, we can offer them in over 30 colors, including the most sought-after special tones for older toilets. All with a 2-year warranty.
What is the difference between an original Gala seat and an adaptable one?
The original seat is manufactured by Gala in Urea (Thermodur), the brand's exclusive material, with the exact factory fit and finish. Adaptable seats are manufactured in Resiwood (lacquered MDF) or Duroplast custom-made for the original model, with a precise functional fit and the advantage of being able to choose from over 30 colors, including discontinued ones.
Does the Gala Marina model have two different seat versions?
Yes. The Gala Marina toilet changed its fixing system in 2007. Models prior to 2007 use horizontal fixing, while those manufactured from 2007 onwards use vertical fixing with cushioned closing. It is essential to identify your toilet version before placing the order. If in doubt, send us a photo and we'll help.
How do I install a Gala toilet seat?
Each Gala toilet seat comes with its installation instructions included. Depending on the model, the fixing may be top (nuts tightened from above) or bottom (bolted from the underside of the toilet bowl). If you have any doubts during installation, contact our support team.
