View All AreasFrequently Asked Toilet Repair Questions
Why does water keep running into the toilet bowl?
A worn or damaged flush valve seal can let water pass into the bowl. An inlet valve that does not shut off correctly can also cause water to pass through the internal overflow. We check the cistern to identify the cause before recommending parts.
Why is my toilet not flushing properly?
The cistern may not be filling correctly, or the syphon, flush valve, button or operating mechanism may have a fault. A blockage can also affect how the toilet clears. Tell us whether the cistern fills, what the control does and whether water leaves the pan normally.
Can a concealed cistern be repaired without removing tiles?
It depends on the installation and the repair needed. Some parts can be reached through a flush plate, access panel or removable top. Other jobs need access to fixings below the cistern. We assess the layout and discuss any access work before proceeding.
Do you repair pneumatic and touch-free toilet flush controls?
We can investigate pneumatic and infrared flush systems and replace suitable components where the correct parts are available. Send the make and model if known, together with photos of the controls and existing access.
Can you replace the whole toilet?
Yes, we fit replacement toilets as well as repairing cisterns and flush mechanisms. Photos of the current toilet, water connection and waste connection help us assess the fitting and any alterations required.
Why is water leaking around the toilet?
Water may come from a supply connection, the cistern, a seal between the cistern and pan, or the waste connection. Condensation can also leave water on the outside of a cistern. The timing and source of the water need checking before deciding on a repair.
Do you repair toilets at commercial premises?
Yes, we undertake toilet repairs at commercial premises as well as homes. Let us know about the fault, the type of toilet or flush system, access arrangements and your postcode when enquiring.
Can you quote from photos of the toilet?
Photos help us identify the toilet and understand the access. Send your postcode, a description of the fault, a full view of the toilet and any visible make or model information. Some jobs need an inspection before parts and the extent of the work can be confirmed.
