Hello - For the last while my toilet has been making an annoying noise each time it is flushed and the cistern refills. The toilet downstairs does not make any noise and nor do any of the taps in the house.
I've read numerous suggestions here and elsewhere that the solution may be as simple as replacing a washer, however as the toilet is built into a bathroom unit, it's really difficult for me to see exactly what I'm looking at very clearly. It's a float ball flush, but I've no idea where I should be looking for the washer to be.
On opening the unit lid I did see that there was a bigger build up of black crud than I've ever noticed before (I've previously fixed the flush handle so less need to look as frequently now). Since cleaning most of that away, the noise disappeared for one flush but is now back and seems worse than before.
Any advice gratefully received, if a photo of the cistern innards would be helpful at all, I can post that too. Many thanks!
