toilet

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...

Hi. Started getting some nasty smells in the bathroom. I think they're coming from the toilet plumbing. Does this look right? At first I thought that the flexible connector/pipe had come loose from the hard grey soil pipe it joins on to. I thought that I had to jam it on to provide a tight...

Hi all - if I don't provide everything needed to understand this, please just let me know and I'll find out. This is my second toilet, so there's no urgency, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it (boom-boom!)... the other day I noticed a gentle hissing sound coming from it and I took the top...

Hi All, i am fitting a new bathroom and the current toilet has been fitted with a gap between the cistern and the wall which i want to remove when i fit the new one (the old owner filled the gap with a tiled box). However im not sure what toilet i can get that will allow me to close this gap...

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. I'm a self builder and I am about to put in the plumbing for 2 ensuites and a main bathroom. Each has a toilet and it's the waste pipe to soil pipe plumbing that I need a little help with. 1 toilet will go up against an outside wall so I'm OK with that one as I...

Hi, Trying to find a solution for our en suite. Most spigots centre at 180mm high on all the toilets I can find. We are installing an en suite in a confined space. The problem we have is that the exit through the wall for the toilet waste has the steel running by it. Thus to avoid it, the...

Hey! I live in the middle floor of a 3 storey apartment building. The flat above has a leak. I’ve been in to investigate, and from what I can see the seal from the nut and bolt screw holding the cistern to the toilet has warped. Could anyone recommend what type of fixtures I’d be searching...
