toilet cistern

Maybe every 5-10 mins the cistern in the bathroom downstairs makes a filling sound for about 2-3 seconds. I'm thinking maybe something is leaking internally which is lowering the water level and the tank needs to top it back up. TBH I don't really know a whole lot about plumbing. No external...

Hi everyone, The inlet valve in my toilet flush system is faulty and leaking water constantly no matter how I adjust the screw. Most likely worn out I'd rather not change the whole system as I'll be refurbishing the bathroom in less than a year. Would anyone help me source the right item to...

Morning all, I'm looking to replace my close-coupled toilet during the bathroom remodel with a wall hung toilet, using the Geberit Duofix element for wall-hung WC, 98 cm. I had a plumber around to quote who reckoned you would not be able to fit it to the existing soil pipe and it would need...

Good evening, We noticed a small pool of water around the base of our hidden cistern toilet. After some investigation, we found the leak to be coming from a seal around a connection between the toilet's back and the cistern. I've tried unscrewing the part that connects the pipe to the cistern...

I replaced my bathroom floor and in the process, broke my 20+ year old toilet. I've fit the pictured toilet but it's a 17-18cm gap to the wall, and causing the cistern to lean forward. Should I have a box built around it, or replace it all? It's close cistern and others I've found won't reach...

Hello, I'm having trouble removing the double button from the cistern lid. It's not like the buttons I've seen on YouTube or on the website. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue? The "bottom" and the "side" rings are decorative, I can't rotate the "top" because of the button's...

Hello - looking for a bit of advice. I have a concealed cistern in a house I've just moved to, and I think the diaphragm in the syphon style flush has gone. Hopefully an easy fix, and I am reluctant to replace the whole flush system as we are having the bathroom redone in a month or so. From...

Hello I think the toilet washer between the pan and cistern needs to be replaced, but when I’ve logged at doing this before in another toilet I couldn’t figure out how. This is what is inside the thing Review on Amazon: Easy...

I am looking at installing a wall hung toilet. There is an 80mm void between the tiles and the brick wall behind. Tiles are on a plywood partition. The bricks are suitable for anchoring the steel frame, there is enough room for the soil pipe, however the 80mm void is not enough space for the...

I have the following close coupled toilet and the ceramic cistern has cracked. Tenant say it happened by itself. Looking at the crack is this believable or do you guys reckon is due to some accidental or other impact? I understand cisterns can crack over time due to temperature changes or...

Hi I’m renovating my new bathroom and wondering which brand should I go for? In your experience which flush technology is better? Do they splash when flush? Quiet? Easy to broke / leaking? / Ceramic quality What’s your opinion? I don’t like that some toilet require multiple flush, or even...

Hi there, Got problems with a SIAMP overflowing, when I've had issues in the past they've continuously overflowed. The solution was a new diaphragm washer. This time it overflows for 10s then stops. I've replaced the washer and tried to make adjustments when it was still doing it - moved...

Hi, has anyone successfully done this please ? Ive got a serious dripping which seems to be from condensation. Ive found a couple of suggestions online, one is installing a mixer valve introducing some warmer water from the tank, could be expensive though ? another was to glue a yoga mat on...

Hi all I have a problem with my toilet and was hoping somebody could help. My toilet was not flushing at all so I had a look at the syphon and the diaphragm film appeared to be damaged so I replaced the entire syphon unit. Now after the replacement, the toilet does flush but requires you to...

I have to build a 1m height false wall to hide the toilet cistern. I only got 200mm. How would you place your 4x2?

The toilet in our bathroom is about five years old. Over the past few weeks it has developed a fault so that after flushing the water continues to run into the bowl. It does eventually stop, but it takes a while and it seems to be taking longer and longer. Taking off the cistern lid I can see...

Hello, https://www.toolstation.com/viva-skylo-bottom-entry-fill-valve/p35993 Put one of these in to replace a faulty one, do I need to tape the threads at the bottom of a fill valve? Will it hurt if I do? Cheers

I'm trying to reconnect a bottom inlet toilet fill valve with a brass tail to a fixed water pipe. I have one of those 1/2" red fibre washers from screwfix but they look very thin - about 1mm thick. Is there any harm in sticking in 2 of these in before I tighten the connection?

We've got an old overhead chain pull cistern on our bathroom toilet. Ever since we've moved in it's always needed several pulls on the chain in order for it to flush. I'd like to replace/refurbish it but i'm struggling to identify the make or a suitable alternative. Does anyone have any ideas on...

Hi all, My toilet is constantly running (not a lot - but it means that every couple of hours the cistern noisily refills which is disturbing us during the night). There's a front panel which gives me access to the cistern but, I can't get in to the top of the cistern in order to change...
