After stripping all the paper off our hall/stairs/landing the other week we have noticed a small patch of plaster on the wall on the otherside of the bathroom that is getting wet/then drying out.
Anyway to cut a long story short we've noticed that there is a small drip coming from a hole 3/4 of the way up the side of the cistern (I assume an overflow pipe would have gone here if the toilet wasn't so close up against the wall).
It only leaks overnight, when the toilet hasn't been used for a few hours. The ball valve seems to slowly drip more water into the cistern and consequently fill too much.
So my question is: Can the ball valve be adjusted to stop dripping or is it better to get a new one??
Cheers
