To add some details on the toilet seat: A typical toilet seat is held on by two large bolts, one in each of the ends of the hinges. The bolts go through the hinge end, and through the toilet, and there are nuts on the underneath -- you can reach under and feel them. Usually there's a snap-on cover over the top of the bolts, or something like that. In my experience, the bolts are often made of nylon or something that doesn't corrode, but this is probably not always true.
In any case, you snap off the covers, undo the bolts, haul the seat (or a measurement or tracing of it) down to the home repair store and buy one you like that's the same shape and size -- they come in two or three standards, pretty much -- and bring it home and bolt it on. I think the new ones come with their own bolts, even.
