air lock or dodgy pipes?

[workaholic]

hello

i have 2 storey house with bathroom upstairs. when i flush the WC it takes ages to refill, unless i turn the cold tap of the WHB on and off briefly then the WC fills in a few seconds. any ideas on the cause and remedy?

moreover i have a power shower (hot&cold feed) which needs changing, even on the low setting it hardly lets the cold water out, i want to change the shower to an electric shower (cold fed only), but worried that the above issue would mean i would have no pressure.

any help would be grateful

thanks

WC is mains fed and the float valve is sticking- fit another one
