Hi All, these forums have been really great in the past with some plumbers really helping me out, and I've now got another problem.
The house we moved into last year has the cistern enclosed in the wall It intermittently, when flushed, makes continuous noises that occur every few minutes and last for approx 5 seconds each time, that sounds like the cistern is starting to fill up again......?
To get over this problem, we had to keep pressing the chrome plastic push plate very slightly, and it would sometimes stop, however in the process the chrome plastic plate broke, I removed the plate from the wall, to find one of the metal springs behind had broke down away from the plate. I also noticed that the backplate had cracked where the Gyproc board is flexing......
We also can't identify the make of the toilet to get another push plate, ive taken it to a plumbers who are very good but we're unable to identify it.
So my question is what do we do now?
Its an ensuite bathroom and we keep getting woken up by the noise from the toilet when it starts playing up through the night with its refill sound!
Do I need to open up that wall and then see where I can get back to with a standard fitting I. E find a part that's a standard part that I can then start to rebuild it from ?
