Hello All. I have had a lot of knowledgeable information from this forum in the past so I'm confident I will get help with this annoying issue. I'll try best to summarise the issue. Water started to leak into my terraced property cellar around the front in 2013 to which I had Yorkshire...

Hi Andy. Many thanks for a speedy reply. I'll have a look into this valve. Is it an easy replacement job?

Hello. I have had a new Wirquin dual flush toilet installed less than 8 months ago when the push-button broke and was replaced with an original replacement, which has again broken at the bottom pushing the springs out. I'm getting fed up with this push-button so was thinking if there is a way to...

Before some eagle-eyed member spots it... yes the valve is upside down. When I took the lid of, the valve was already in that position so as I'd never opened a flush button cistern, assumed it was that way. Having looked at it closer realised the big rubber ring should be at the bottom and...

Have got another issue now. Button is now out of the lid. The toilet is now continuously letting water flow into the pan without stopping. If I pull on the plastic in the 3rd image with the cross or X the water stops but let it go and water continues as that slowly drops. I've taken a few...

Yes the cistern came with this button but not a toilet seat funnily which I assumed would have been part of a complete toilet unit. Thank you. I will try and prise the buttons to see if I can get access to the tightening screw underneath but just don't want to crack or break anything. The...

Thank you for your replies. My local garage have taken the back nuts off with a deep socket and a long bar for leverage. Now need to remove the putty/cement somehow and get taps out without damaging the sink.

Hello. I want to change my old taps for a pair of new ones but the problem is twofold. Firstly the original taps are fitted in square holes filled with a putty type material which is rock solid and won't budge. Secondly, the taps I have purchased are round so want to know if there is an adapter...

Thank you for your reply. I am still thinking of a DIY kit due to cost to get someone in but undecided as yet. Thank you for your detailed reply!

Hi. I've turned the position of my cast iron bath around as I'm re-working the whole bathroom but the side that's been against the wall for so many years has bits of cement, foam, rust etc. How can I clean it up best?? Also what advice can you give me for re-enamelling a bath should it come...
