    New toilet leaks when flushed

    Many thanks for all the replies. Yeah, I'm going to put some red food colour in and then hopefully trace the leak. I did take the toilet out and used water to flush it when on the grass but couldn't see anything obvious, but only did it.once as I had the water supply turned off. Will try again...

    New toilet leaks when flushed

    Looks like from the internal side wall of the pan. I can't see how the water from the round ceramic pan outlet could push the water that far to the front of the toilet

    New toilet leaks when flushed

    Many thanks, yeah it was a cheapish toilet, so may just do that. I've added a photo to show where the water drips are that I could see, just beyond the white casting mark, as I said I couldn't seem to feel any water coming from above

    New toilet leaks when flushed

    Hi, I need more experienced eyes to help me please! I've replaced my toilet with a new one. It doesn't leak unless it's flushed and a little pool of water forms along in the left hand side of the toilet. As it's a spare bathroom I've not looked into it more until today. So I flushed it, waiting...

    Fence Gate question...

    Many thanks for the reply, i can see what you are saying about the weight. I think I'll go for two smaller gates then, one set off the wall and one set off the post of the existing fence.

    Fence Gate question...

    Hi, hope everyone in well. I built this fence around 2 years ago and left a gap as we had 3 cars at the time and to allow one to park on the patio area. My thinking was to attach a 4x4 post to the house with recessed concrete screws, add adjustable hinges and build (or buy) a Gate to span the...

    Bathroom reno, thoughts ?

    Thought I'd update the thread, if helpful for anyone. Ended up renovating the bathroom, changed the suite, changed the position of the basin etc. Did all the work myself other than for the amended central heating pipes down the wall (as they are now hidden I wanted some assurance in case it...

    Shower screen leak, my mistake?

    Thanks for the responses. I checked whether I put it upside down as the written on the screen was upside down in the photo. Both ends are the same and the writing is the right way up so must be okay. I took the little silicone strip off which ran on the inside of the bath rim and its alot...

    Shower screen leak, my mistake?

    Thanks, that's exactly what I did earlier, cut a section of the upper part of the seal (where it connects to the screen) and that brought the seal closer to the hinge. There's still a circa. 2mm gap between the two. After doing some research these types of screens seem to be prone to this, I'm...

    Shower screen leak, my mistake?

    I removed that little horizontal section of silicone and that seems to have stopped the water coming through the hinge section, but water still comes through the part where the rubber seal meets the metal part of the shower screen annoyingly, I'm going to triple check the installation manual...

    Shower screen, my mistake

    I've almost finished my first bathroom refurb...never again, haha. The shower screen I've installed is leaking at the hinge part where it sits on the bath. I followed the nstructions for where to apply the silicone including along the outside edge of the c channel and around the external part...

    Shower screen leak, my mistake?

    Sorry for the two posts but just had a hand with someone pouring water the other side of the screen and water comes through at the two blue arrow points

    I've almost finished my first bathroom refurb...never again, haha. The shower screen I've installed is leaking at the hinge part where it sits on the bath. The instructions said silicone the outside c channel and around the external part of the hinge - which ive done. I did add a bead around...
