I presume I can just change the syphon on its own, or would I be better off buuying a whole set? Is it better to get a single flush or dual flush (we are not on a water meter)? Thanks

And, obviously, When tidying up all the stuff elsewhere in the house I found the original washer!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all your help!! A combination of the 3/4" tap pillar washer, ptfe tape and plumbers mait have sealed it all. I can now think about sealing the bath! Thanks again

Thanks I have just checked the outside of the nut (ie what spanner size) is 2" The inside is 44mm so i have ordered these https://www.screwfix.com/p/arctic-hayes-poly-pillar-tap-washers-3-4-5-pack/1724j...

excellent, so long as its wider than the inside of the waste pipe from the bath I will be ok?

Thanks for that. Silly question, but I seem to remember the washer being more of a flat washer. Is there a difference (I am sure there is) and does it matter so long as it seals?

Thanks all I have attached some photos photo 1 shows position after a fill. What happens is: I flush it and the handle doesnt really return properly, the piston sticks for a bit then drops flat, the handle is level. As the cistern fills up the piston raises causing the handle to drop. The...

I did think that but I was also in the middle of other stuff so couldnt then get to the loo. Will try to upload some soon

Hopefully my last request for help here!! For a while now the toilet handle does not seem to return properly. from the handle, there is a lever and at the end of the lever there is a thick wire that hooks onto a piston. This piston seems to be sticking. if you push the lever down its fine. The...

It a fit of pique, and realising that the rush wasnt so urgent I just swallowed the cost and bought the correct taps. Must stop try so save money, it always costs more in the long run

Actually i was guessing the gap, turns out it was 10 mm so all good

Madrab Brilliant and honest answer. I guess I will try to improve my sealant smothing skills lol Thanks again

Hi all. My ongoing bathroom nightmare continues Bought a set of taps for the bath...

Thanks guys, the problem is that it is about a 15mm gap and my last attempt was ok but looked very diy! hence the idea of using the silicone as a functional sealer and the quadrant as the finishing sealer
