Hi I have a Fluidmaster Bottom-Entry Fill Valve ½" (https://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-bottom-entry-fill-valve/84007) It's been in a couple of years with no problems but recently started to leak - Im' not sure if the original leak was from the water in the cistern or the mains water in the...

Hi everyone! I am moving a toilet across a room. I have had conflicting opinions from two plumbers about soil pipe routing. I upload a dodgy sketch to explain. In the circle is the current toilet and vent pipes which are boxed. I need to remove the toilet and all the pipes in that wall. For the...

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 there, anyone that knows how I can take off the mount cover of the toilet seat? It usually comes out with an easy pull, but this one seems to be stuck and it's not coming. I have attached a picture of it. Many thanks in advance for your help or advice. Antonio

Toilet is leaking from this pipe and I’m not really sure how to fix it. Before going to a plumber I thought I’d come here to get any tips on how to fix it. Someone came to put a floor in and he moved the toilet when doing this. But since then the toilet started leaking.

Hi, I have a built up of drainage smell in the basement where we us to have are old toilet drainage before, basically the old drainage is no longer in use and still has water standing, its under the bay window in the basement. I can access it by removing a few bricks from inside the basement as...

Our toilet keeps getting clogged and I'm not sure what to do about it. First all we're not putting anything down there that isn't supposed to be there. It seems like stuff isn't going around the u bend, sometimes we'll flush and it seems all clear only to later go in and find stuff back in the...

Hi I've got a Grohe wall hung toilet flush. Plasterers recently removed the wall plate for the flush and now that plastering is done I want to put it back on. The problem is I cannot work out how it goes together. Has anyone fitted on of these before? I think when you press the button it blows...

I'm going to re-jig my downstairs layout. The larger room (rear 1 story extension) previously housed a small utility room, bathroom and family room. These walls have been knocked out and now is one room. The smaller room is where the current kitchen is. We want to fit a new kitchen, small WC...

Been renovating the bathroom, and onto the toilet! I had this covered whilst doing everything else so hadn't given it much thought till now. I had wrongly assumed that there was an adaptor onto the main out pipe, however none of it seems to shift at all. From the wall to the lip all seems to be...

Hi, The annex toilet has a fan that vents outside, the grille was stuck on (not really secured anymore) with silicone.. the vent inside is unlined.. it's rough like the outside render. Obviously the grille should be screwed to the wall but should the vent be lined inside with a plastic pipe...

Can anyone help with a solution to a partially blocked toilet? This has never happened before and has only just started. Basically the toilet flushes fine, and maybe the fresh water after a flush takes a little longer to settle at the correct height. But after a few hours left alone, brown...

Our toilet is often blocking up. I was wondering if it was worth pushing an endoscope like this down to see if I can find anything, before getting a plumber out. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inspection-Depstech-Borescope-Endoscope-Smartphone-Black/dp/B01NBFTAHE The cord has some stiffness. I am...

We are planning to chop up our large bathroom to a small bathroom incorporating the airing cabinet and to a bedroom. I have no idea where to place the toilet bowl, sink and shower or the measurements. This is going to be the main bathroom (only a wc downstairs). I am not planning to have a tub...

Hi, the horizontal length of 4” pipe from cistern frame to the face of the 92.5 degree bend which goes into the main stack pipe, is 1400mm and has a fall of 45mm i.e 1:31.6, is this okay? I’m aware 1:40 is the standard. See attached for more details. Also the joint of the bend and the 4inch...

Hi, I can't get my friend's toilet tank to stop dripping. It seems to be dripping out of the larger blue dial left of the little white water faucet thing. It also just doesn't fully shut off. I tried adjusting the arm and the little silver screw thing but it only shuts off if I lift it; the...

Hi, Our downstairs toilet in a modern extension (built approx. 10 years ago) is blocked / draining very slowly. I know of no drainage plans and believe it's classed as private pipework unfortunately. So far I have tried: - Wire coat hanger pushed round the bend - Buckets of hot water with...

So, to cut a long story short I'm renovating the entire ground floor of my house which includes enlarging the bathroom and changing its layout. Here is the new layout: Bathroom 2d Plan by jwilf posted 23 Dec 2018 at 12:24 PM And in 3D: Bathroom 3d Render by jwilf posted 23 Dec 2018 at 12:24...
