Toilet in the bathroom keeps getting condensation on the cistern and drops onto batroom floor. Is there any reason for this and anything that can be done to stop it. Thanks

I have got a real problem with condensation on the outside (obviously :D ) of the toilet cistern in the bathroom. I do not remember ever having this problem in any of the other houses I have ever lived in. In itself not a real problem, but it drips onto the wooden floor and is starting to...

Thanks to JPC for answering my question on fixing a cistern yesterday. Having fitted my new toilet, I now see why there was a bit of mildew around the pipes, the temperature of the water seems to cause a lot of condensation on the pipes which slowly drips off. I suppose lagging would help...

The description 'Concealed cistern' now refers to actually being built into the wall. So it seems that Geberit have concentrated on developing thinner and thinner cisterns and in consequence they are much taller than they used to be. The shorter UP200 states 820mm. So now they call the typical...

Is there a way to stop the buildup of condensation on the toilet custern? Short of filling it from the hot water supply :lol:

Having problems with my toilet cistern valve, the one I have works with a top mount push button. But the fittings on the valve don't seal properly once flushed and the water continuously seeps in, and because of this the outside of the cistern becomes all condensation and the pipes leading into...

Any help appreciated please. A slow leak appeared beneath the WC cistern last week. It's a low-level 2 gallon cistern with flushpipe, and the leak is coming from between the base of the cistern and the top of the siphon backnut (definitely not condensation). I replaced the flushpipe and siphon...

Hi All, This should be the last question for 2003, unless the bathroom and kitchen fall apart tomorrow...lol. In the bathroom (recently refurbished) the toilet is still the original cistern and pan (they were in good nick so didnt see the sense in getting rid) made of ceramic. The problem...

I have recently had a new bathroom suite installed by a friend. Pretty much immediately after, I noticed that the wall behind the toilet cistern was getting damp. Mould is now growing on it. I have tried sealing the cistern lid with silicone to no avail. Does anybody know what is...

I recently noticed damp at the bottom of the downstairs wall next to the toilet. I've had a look at the concealed cistern and the concrete floor down there is wet. When I looked, the cistern was soaked in condensation from the water line down. I flushed the cistern first thing and held the...

Hi All i am aware that what i am suggesting is almost certainly a stupid idea but i wanted to get some advice. The toilet cistern in the bathroom gets a lot of condensation on it, i know ventilation is the best way to get rid of this. My question is i was wanting to line the inside of the...

I noticed a wet (soggy) patch in my nice laminate flooring in my bathroom, behind the toilet! I checked first and foremost the inlet and outlets for WC operation, as I was very careful when fitting the pot all seals including the "doughnut" between pan and cistern was fine! Then I discover a...

Water enters the Cistern Cold, the outside of the cistern is at room temperature, hence condensation on the outside of the cistern. The nearer the cistern is to the Cold Water Rising Main the more likely the problem of condensation. No real answer to the problem other than wipe the...

Are you sure that it is bone dry?? REALLY or just pulling my leg.. If the cistern is cold, the room is warmer than the cistern and there is humidity in the room then there will be condensation on the warm side (Outside) of the cold surface (Cistern) the only way that you can prevent this is to...

That's the 5mm thick yoga mat to stop condensation on outside of cistern which works a treat. Our old cistern used to drip with condensation.

The boxing gets damp from the condensation off the pipe and toilet cistern. The wood looks OK besides being tarnished. Is there any wood sealant i could use before paintin? ( I intend to use water based paint) or would plastic covering do a better job?

Close-coupled cistern installed a couple of months back (OK, four months). I've noticed there is a slow leak around the bottom of the cistern. The water very slowly drips down the two screws that hold the cistern in place. There is no water anywhere else on the cistern, so I guess it isn't...

Is it condensation on the cistern? Andy

Seen on an American plbg. forum: isolate the water supply to that WC flush the cistern wipe and dry the cistern exterior fill the cistern with warm water, eg. using a pan, the warm water being less likely to create condensation. flush cistern repeat process this will indicate wether it's...

It probably is condensation but not from inside the cistern. What is your cistern made from? Its more than likely because the cistern is full of cold water, when you shower/bath the warm moise air will condense on the back of the cistern, some of this damp may transfer to the wall. This...
