toilet

Waste plumbing is not my expertise by any stretch, so I don't know how feasible it is, but in the photo below, could the toilet be relocated to the main bathroom? I would imagine the main factor would be which way the joists run, but not sure how I would determine that? Regards: Elliott.

Hi all, Hopefully a helpful diagram but can take photos if needed! I'm sure there's an easy answer to this one, I'm just a bit stuck and want to make sure it's right. I have fitted a new toilet and unit, the existing pipe in the wall (orange) is further back as the new unit brings the toilet...

I fitted an upstairs bathroom last year and a new downstairs bathroom fitted a few years before that. Recently when I flushed the downstairs toilet the kitchen tap would drip and the pipes would make a droning sound (like a chair being dragged across the floor). The noise would only stop if I...

I’m trying to remove my toilet in preparation for tiling, but I’m struggling to loosen the nut on the water supply line. I’ve already applied WD-40, but when I attempt to loosen the nut, the entire thread rotates along with it. Does anyone have advice on how to get the nut loose so I can remove...

Hi all, not a diy /build expert at all however I have a question regarding putting a toilet in my detached garage… I need to run a soil pipe down my driveway (20/25 foot) The drive will need to come up but I just wondered could one of these moling machines be used to run the pipe or is it not...

Hello, looking for some advice before pursuing any further... we have an toilet on the 1st floor kind of in the middle of the house. Would like to move the toilet which would require extending the soil pipe by 1.7m and to turn the toilet would require 3x90 bends, 1xvertical and 2x horizontal. I...

Good evening, We noticed a small pool of water around the base of our hidden cistern toilet. After some investigation, we found the leak to be coming from a seal around a connection between the toilet's back and the cistern. I've tried unscrewing the part that connects the pipe to the cistern...

Hi, The fill valve on my old Roca toilet is failing intermittently, sometimes shutting off and other times just constantly running. It seemed like a simple job after researching YouTube so I decided to replace it. Down to Screwfix to buy a Fluidmaster 1/2" Brass shank. Removing old one was a...

My flush was working fine, then the box with the cable started to come off when I press the flush. I cannot see if anything is missing or broken. Cannot see why this started. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! I've got 2 Rak 600 toilets which both seem to suffer from the same problem. They developed cracks at the back of the seat near the hinge, Rak sent a replacement lid out, however what I've noticed is that seat doesn't sit flush at the back, so only the front of the seat has support...

Evening all, I’ve recently fit a concealed cistern and then tiled over it. All well, no issues with plumbing ect. Last few days I’ve noticed very loud water hammer after the cistern refills, to the point I can feel the vibration under the floorboards. It gets worse every time I flush, but if I...

I have a toilet with a concealed cistern and there is an issue with one of the flush valves leaking (the bit circled in green in the photo). The flush plate says Geberit but it doesn’t seem like the flush components actually are Geberit (Geberit replacement parts don’t fit). Can you identify...

Hello - looking for a bit of advice. I have a concealed cistern in a house I've just moved to, and I think the diaphragm in the syphon style flush has gone. Hopefully an easy fix, and I am reluctant to replace the whole flush system as we are having the bathroom redone in a month or so. From...

Hi all. I am installing a new toilet downstairs next to an outside wall. There is a 3 way inspection/access chamber about 1.5 metres outside this point which I plan on going into. It has one inlet in use from the upstairs WC and the other capped off. I plan on going from the toilet out the...

We’re thinking of having the door to our extension in the blue shaded area - which passes through the existing SVP. How easy is it to rotate the exit pipes for the two toilets to go the other direction to join to a relocated SVP (proposed pipes shown in red). Could this work all be done...

Hi, I’ve just moved into a house with a push button toilet and it’s not working. The buttons just feel loose and you can’t press them. I’ve had a look, and I can see that when you push the button it’s meant to pull a cable that then causes a mechanism to go up and let the water out. I think...

Our toilet is leaking (dripping) at pan connector/waste pipe when flushed. We are getting a full bathroom refit in May so need a short term fix in the meantime - can I just use sealant or is there something else we can do in the meantime?

Alright folks. Hopefully, someone can help in regards to venting my waste pipe from a downstairs cloakroom toilet. It comes straight out and down as in the image and the white pipe is my new drainage from the kitchen, however it's not vented. My toilet bowl is filling up and returning to...

Hi, I'm looking for advice on the classic saniflow Vs standard toilet issue. We're looking at getting an understairs toilet fitted in our house. We've had 5 people round to quote for it and all but one suggested we use a saniflow to go under the kitchen cupboards and out to the soil stack. The...

Hello everyone, I am trying to work out how to safely remove this concrete waste collar, stick a 250mm deep 1m wide vanity unit on the wall behind and replace the toilet with a new back-to-wall toilet and hidden cistern. Any advice on how I go about this and if I can likely get the new cistern...
