Aretusa and Aretusina are two Cesame range names to distinguish when buying a replacement seat. They are not synonyms, and a similar name is not a reason to order the other range’s seat. On an older toilet, the existing seat may also be an adaptable replacement whose outline does not prove the bowl model. Start with the ceramic, brand and any codes, then compare the two model pages.
All ranges and replacements for Cesame
Aretusa: establish the range before choosing options
The Aretusa section includes different materials, colours and hinges. The presence of a dedicated or original replacement does not resolve an unidentified toilet. Compare the bowl outline, rear area, fixing positions and the hardware specified for the particular seat. A measurement for one proposal should not be applied to every version without confirmation.
Aretusina: use its own model catalogue
Search for Aretusina replacements in the section bearing that exact name. Proposals include Duroplast, covered wood and soft-close options; read each listing for compatibility, materials and supplied parts. Do not treat Aretusina as merely a commercial diminutive of Aretusa or choose using only the old seat’s length.
Hinges and fixing centres must be compared together
The fixing-centre distance is measured between the two hole centres. It is useful, but does not describe the mounting angle, support positions or hinge geometry. Do not force an adjustable fitting to compensate for a different product. Compare the existing hardware with the supplied kit; check that replacement hinges are intended for that seat before changing individual components.
Choosing after identification
After confirming the model, compare construction, standard or soft-close action, finish and availability. Original, dedicated, compatible and like the original are different descriptions: read how the seller identifies the manufacturer and intended match. Use the declared colour name and ask for clarification if necessary; images cannot confirm a historic shade.
Model pages and Sintesibagno.shop examples
These links show examples in the dedicated catalogue for a toilet that has already been identified. Check current availability, lead time, material and included fittings on the product page. A single example does not represent the whole range.

Checks before ordering
- Confirm the toilet brand, range and exact version. The logo identifies the maker but does not by itself identify the model or the right replacement.
- Compare the complete outline, rear profile and support points. Record length, maximum width and fixing-centre distance as checks, rather than treating measurements as proof of fit.
- Check whether the fixings install from above or below. The hardware must suit both the bowl and the new seat hinges.
- Read the material, closing and release specifications. Soft-close and quick-release are different features and do not make seats from different ranges interchangeable.
- Check the exact named finish and colour. Photos, lighting and screens cannot confirm a ceramic shade. Check included accessories and delivery time too.
Replacement questions
Are the brand and measurements enough?
No. One maker produces many ranges and versions. Measurements can rule out an unsuitable product, but the outline, supports, hinges and declared compatibility must also match.
Can I choose another seat to add soft-close?
Only if the product is expressly intended for your range and version. Soft-close cannot correct an incompatible outline or mounting system; check the listing and supplied hardware.
