toilet

Just plumbing in a new downstairs WC in a small extension. Stud walls are up, water feed is connected up and ready to supply the toilet and washing machine but I've hit a bit of a problem working out how to deal with waste from the toilet... The toilet will be backed up against the rear of the...

My Mum's toilet handle on the flush seems to be stiffening up? Toilet seems to flush fine, but its stiff to pull down, and hardly rises back into place (its the old style lever type on the cistern) Have included photos of the inside of the cistern. I watched some DIY videos, which said to...

After discovering a leak in behind the sink in the downstairs toilet, I ended up having to take the whole thing out. Wanted to replace the sink at some point anyway, so now is the time. I had thought about replacing the toilet too. Quite like the idea of those wall hung units/concealed ones...

Hello, I know most toilet seats have either button locks to release them from the hinges or just screws. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to release the toilet seat pictured. 16347245876091799973375533701959 by diytool posted 20 Oct 2021 at 11:10 AM...

Hi I'm hoping someone could advise me on what to consider in my case as I'm clueless about such things. We are looking to get a downstairs toilet. The drain is at the back of the house and the stack pipe is internal and is in the middle of the house. We had a professional come out and they said...

Hi All, I'm re-doing the downstairs toilet. So far I've: Ripped out the old toilet suite and sink. Re-routed the CH feed and return from upstairs to come through the garage and through the back wall of the toilet - and I'm going to bury them in the screed (boxed in access for the joints -...

I’m not a plumber firstly, but here goes. I’m doing a loft conversion, the new bathroom toilet is directly above the existing downstairs toilet. The plastic soil pipe in the downstairs concrete floor comes up about 9 inches from the wall. (I don’t want to take the soil pipe through an outside...

Hi all. I am completely dense when it comes to plumbing/DIY. We recently had a leak in the valve that supplies the toilet. Inlet I think? The toilet is upstairs, but whilst fixing it, the plumber ran the taps up there, the shower and the downstairs kitchen tap. I didn't think much of it at the...

Hi All. I would like to know what wall hung toilets are like from an installation and maintenance perspective. One thing that comes to mind is that if the system develops a fault, will the tile work etc need to be broken ? I did ask the bathroom designer and he was saying something that the...

Hi, Our toilet started leaking at the pan connector a few weeks ago so I replaced this part myself thinking it was a simple enough job... When dismantling the toilet & old connector I discovered that an extender was pushed inside the soil pipe which I thought was odd as the standard pan...

Hi all. I need to move our toilet out from the wall a few cm because we’re panelling behind it. The waste pipe comes out from the wall behind it and was just wondering - is there’s generally any give in the pipe or if we need to get a new one with an extra few cm on it? Sorry if it’s a daft...

Hi All We are buying our first property and have what we suspect is an exposed 4" soil pipe running along the kitchen ceiling. The pipe has been boxed in and it's there as a result of an extension. What possibilities are available to fully conceal the pipe or redirect it? We have attached a...

Hi all, I have a push button toilet which flushes weakly. Sometimes it takes 2 flushes to get material down the pipe. The water currently rises to 21.4 cm in the tank. Would anyone have a solution to this? Thanks.

Hi all, The button on our toilet has essentially locked up so we're having to push the plunger manually. Are these fairly easy to replace? I'm not sure of the brand so any help identifying a suitable replacement part/s would be appreciated (and any fitting advice). Thanks in advance!

Hello - bit stumped with something. Got a new place last week and had the vinyl in the bathroom replaced yesterday. Found out this morning (the hard way) that the toilet has not been screwed to the floor. Carpenter came back to look and said they definitely unscrew anything and that it looked...

Hi all I have a problem with my toilet and was hoping somebody could help. My toilet was not flushing at all so I had a look at the syphon and the diaphragm film appeared to be damaged so I replaced the entire syphon unit. Now after the replacement, the toilet does flush but requires you to...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice / guidance on a project we are considering. We are considering putting a new utility and toilet space downstairs. In order to do this we would need to run the waste pipes backwards, circa 2 metres, to join the existing waste drainage which joining waste from...

Pretty self explanatory title, but when we flush our toilet it causes the plug in our bath to bubble, and let’s out a bad smell. Vice versa, when we empty the bath the toilet makes a noise. They aren’t even in the same room, as our toilet is separate from the bathroom. We have a plumber...

Hi, I want to change my toilet, a grohe bau which constantly blocks. My outlet is vertical into the floor basically. Distance between wall and vertical outlet is 10cm to the centre of the pipe. Do i need to get a vertical toilet pan outlet, not many exist but available for better performance or...
