I had the water off today finishing the plumbing in my new bathroom. Stoopidly I forgot about this and when I came to flush the porcelain telephone a second time nothing happened obviously. In the process I did push the button 2 or three times before the brain kicked in

Anyhoo, turned water back on, waited for cictern to fill, pushed button and.....nothing happened :(

Inspection revealed that the rubber flush diaphram had split into 2 halves. It appears that it is designed this way? It takes a while to deflate after a button push and a couple of quick pushes pumps it up to bursting point

Has anyone come across anything similar? It's the work of a few seconds to fix (once dug out of the cabinet) but I have another one the same waiting to go in the new bathroom and was wondering if there's a common fix to apply
