Toilet water constantly running after installing new taps

[manhattan24]

Hi,

Yesterday I had to turn off my water supply and install some new kitchen taps which went sucessfully, however now the upstairs toilet is trickling persistently. It is made by Grohe and is a completely built in unit. I managed to take off the flush button but I do not have a clue as to what I should do to try and fix the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as my knowledge is very limited.

Thanks

The float needs to be adjusted or some debris in the inlet valve not allowing it to close.

Thanks for the quick response.

Could you please elaborate with instructions as I have never done any work on a toilet before.

It is probably a bit different to the run of the mill cisterns so have the model as well and make would be handy.

Grohe usually have enough literature packaged with the product to help access and maintain it. So having the model will help identify it for download if possible.

If you cut the old kitchen taps pipe with a hacksaw or otherwise let some debris in, that may have been flushed over to the cistern as PrenticeBoyofDerry has indicated. So a dismantle, clean and refit should be all you should try to start with.

You are likely to have something like this

Scroll down and explore page 4 and 5, this is the inlet filling valve and float assembly.
You need to strip down this valve to clean or maybe just adjust the float.

Also visually inspect any washers and seals for damage/wear and tear of the filling valve, as they may need replacing.

Thanks for all the responses, very helpful.

The model is the same mentioned above as I managed to locate the instructions that came with it last night.

Might wait to do it until after Christmas in case problems ensue.

Cheers

Hi,
I tried to sort the issue with my toilet today but unfortunately it has been completely sealed in to a tiled wooden box. The issue seems to be with the filler valve but I just wondered whether it could be removed through the button hole on the front? If yes is there a particular knack to it?
Thanks
