For the last few days our toilet has been running constantly I had a look and the washer that seals the outgoing water seems to be hard and brittle with pieces breaking off
Can just this seal be ordered and if so what is it called and where can you order it from?
or is it better to get an entire new unit? I see new units from Screw Fix or Tool station aren't very expensive - however it seems they are now order online only or click and collect - so seems I can't even go to the store with the current unit to ask any questions.
The toilet must be around 20 years old, so wouldn't mind changing the entire internal flushing unit if needs be rather then just getting a washer.
Would this be a suitable replacement? Seems to be cable activated when the current system is a lever system. Don't know if either is better or worse.
