    Removing / adjusting soft close toilet seat

    I wonder whether anyone can help. About 5 years ago I replaced our cloakroom toilet and chose a Tavistock Structure Back to the wall toilet with soft-close lid. Since I installed it the soft close hasn't been that effective, so during lock-down I thought I'd remove the seat and see if there...

    How to connect water supply to high level cistern

    We have installed a high level cistern with copper pipe water supply (we prefer the look of this to a flexible connector) but the compression nut wont screw onto the male plastic inlet and is ruining the thread. When the water supply is turned on, we get a leak! What do we need to do...

    Anyone know how I can remove this toilet seat?

    Hi all, Our main toilet is embedded to the unit and I can't get my hand down underneath the bolts to undo the seat? I'm guessing it can be fixed/undone from the top somehow but I can't work out how to do it? I wondered if there was a plastic flap covering screws or something but I don't want...

    Dealing with bodge job in drain

    Bit of a whiffy one this - not for the faint-hearted - maybe leave til later if you're about to have your dinner. Long story short - we noticed an eggy smell kept appearing in the kitchen and wondered if there was a problem with the drains. Still not sure we've got to the (ahem) bottom of that...

    Toilet seemingly impossible to repair... constant water running in to pan

    Hi, Our toilet is running water into the pan constantly. It seemed easy to fix: Remove the 'flush' and replace with a new one... So I bought a new flush ('universal fitting') but can not install it for the life of me. I've had to put the old one back and now it leaks worse! I can't fit it...

My main worry is that in the past I’ve had one fitted by a plumber and the cistern ended up about 30mm from the wall. At the moment the front of the 90deg pan connector is 160mm from the wall and the centre...

    Toilet and soil pipe confusion...

    I'm at the final stages of plumbing in my bathroom, I'm a beginner. As you can see in the photo I have this space saving pan connector, then I have a length of 110mm pipe. I didn't really need this as I'll box it in, and I had black 110mm anyway. Is this the correct way to do it? Pan...
