Thanks, is it easier/ quicker to get the float valve repair kits or replace the float valves ?

Whatever you are more comfortable with, could just be washers.

It may prove to be a similar amount of work, it depends on the condition, and age, of your present valves. Complete valves, are not expensive, and a certain fix, but a replacement washer is just a few pence.

I can't see that you tied up the float valves as I suggested.

Where did you turn the water off?

When you put your thumb over the bathroom tap spouts, you can hold back the flow of hot water. Can you hold back the flow of cold as easily?

How old is your hot-water cylinder? Or, what colour is it?
