toilet

I need to replace a bottom-entry fill valve but there are a few things I'm not sure about. Firstly... the existing (original) valve is a Roca one, and I'm having trouble identifying exactly which part it is because there seem to be at least a couple of different variants out there that look...

Hi, I would like to fit a closed couple toilet to replace the rather bulky old style one. My main worry is that in the past I’ve had one fitted by a plumber and the cistern ended up about 30mm from the wall. At the moment the front of the 90deg pan connector is 160mm from the wall and the centre...

I'm hoping to move a toilet about 1m further along the same outside wall. Unfortunately the place where the waste would ideally go through the outside wall is right in the middle of a brick arch (over the window downstairs) and I'm keen not to drill a big hole in it. Is it sensible to have a...

I plumbed my toilet a few days ago and everything appeared to be fine. No leaks, everything seems to work. Today I was wiping the floor and found just a little bit of water around the base of the back of the toilet, see photo. First I thought it could be the pan connector, but it's fitted...

I'm at the final stages of plumbing in my bathroom, I'm a beginner. As you can see in the photo I have this space saving pan connector, then I have a length of 110mm pipe. I didn't really need this as I'll box it in, and I had black 110mm anyway. Is this the correct way to do it? Pan...

Hi Purchase a new toilet and installing it but having issues with cistern not level. I’ve levelled the base as floor was out of level but the cistern is not level to the toilet. This only bolts on with two bolts (1 either side) and has a rubber washer in between the cistern and pan on the bolts...

Hi all, My toilet seat bolts are rusted and stuck, they look like below. How can I take them out safely? I have tried to lubricate them to see if they loosen and after overnight they are still tight and stuck. The other toilet seat bolt:

hi, I have recently purchased a property with a workshop in the garden which I am converting Into an office. The workshop has a 110mm soil Pipe sticking out of the concrete base in a corner which I was told by the previous owner was put in place for a possible toilet in the future. This soil...

Hi there, Hoping to fit a new low level WC replacement. I will be buying a regular horizontal exit WC. Should I try removing the cement and keep the collar or should I use an angle grinder to take it down to floor level? With a cut back pipe what kind of plastic adapter will I need? Thanks for...

I'm at the final stages of working our my bathroom plumbing and I'm confused about the toilet waste. I need to have the pan connector come out horizontally to connect to the soil pipe on the wall, is this ok? I hope my diagram below makes sens. The right angle pan connectors are only 240mm...

Hi I have speedfit plastic pipes in my wall which can come out at any height to suit fitting the basin and toilet. I planned to use a short section of copper pipe horizontally coming out of my right angle Speedfit, attached on a noggin, and then coming out of plasterboard just enough to...

I'm running my water feeds for toilet and sink into the wall cavity. Then I plan to pop them out of the wall to connect. I will be using plastic push fit 15mm pipes inside the wall. What should I do when coming out of the wall. I guess I will need an isolating valve as soon as it comes through...

Recently installed a new toilet. Everything is fine apart from when the toilet is flushed it leaks. It is a duel flush closed cistern toilet. I initially thought the valves may be lose or the donut wasn’t secure enough therefore I put silicone around everything, inside the cistern and around...

For the last few days our toilet has been running constantly I had a look and the washer that seals the outgoing water seems to be hard and brittle with pieces breaking off Can just this seal be ordered and if so what is it called and where can you order it from? or is it better to get an...

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...

Hi folks, So I've got a leaking waste pipe from the rubber seal of my bathroom. The house is only 5yrs old and was built by somebody that didn't seem to care on a lot of detail (bit housing company, I'll skip my rant but it involves faulty heating installations, radiators not plumbed correctly...
