toilet seat fixings fell to the floor - please help

Evidentially not.

These are the type of "toggle" fittings that I am referring to

View attachment 299236

If you try to remove the fitting, the lower part falls in to the cavity. The above costs £38.99. I don't know any local plumbers' merchants that stock them.

Would you be happy if a plumber told you that you would have to wait 3 days for delivery before you can use the loo seat again, and that there would be an additional charge for them to come back.

As per @Madrab 's post whenever it is possible I fit a new blindhole/topdown fitting. In the example above though the threaded rod is part of the fitting and not a separate machine screw.



If it is a like for like and the plugs are interset fixings, then yes I would.

the above did not cost me that much. I ordred a pair exactly as shown in your photo from ideal standard for £7 including delivery. It arrived next day! I also agree with the other comment, it's just a screw, no need to remove the toilet and shake it around the garden lol. No need to over complicate this topic. It was very cheap and easy to fix, once I knew what the hell to order

Yay!
Common sense... My faith is restored that it still exists in society... Every moment of every day, I am confronted with evidence that it should be renamed "rare sense".
