I've tried unscrewing the part that connects the pipe to the cistern...

    Push button flush not working

    Hi, I’ve just moved into a house with a push button toilet and it’s not working. The buttons just feel loose and you can’t press them. I’ve had a look, and I can see that when you push the button it’s meant to pull a cable that then causes a mechanism to go up and let the water out. I think...

    Toilet smells

    Hi. Started getting some nasty smells in the bathroom. I think they're coming from the toilet plumbing. Does this look right? At first I thought that the flexible connector/pipe had come loose from the hard grey soil pipe it joins on to. I thought that I had to jam it on to provide a tight...
