Common toilet problems we fix

Most toilet faults come down to a handful of worn parts, and nearly all of them are quick fixes.

๐Ÿ”

Toilet keeps running

A worn inlet valve or flush valve seal lets water trickle into the bowl non-stop.

๐Ÿ’ง

Leaking at the base

A failed seal between the pan and the floor waste can soak into flooring.

๐Ÿ‘†

Weak or failed flush

Broken buttons, worn mechanisms or low cistern levels stop a proper flush.

โณ

Slow-filling cistern

A blocked or faulty inlet valve takes ages to refill.

๐Ÿšซ

Blocked or slow to drain

Blockages in the pan or the line below it. See our blocked drains service.

๐Ÿชจ

Cracked pan or cistern

Cracks can leak or fail suddenly and usually mean a replacement.

Toilet won't stop? Try this

Quick ways to stop the water while you wait.

  1. Find the isolation tap on the wall behind or beside the toilet and turn it clockwise to stop the cistern refilling.
  2. If the bowl is rising, don't flush again. Turn off the isolation tap and wait.
  3. Leaking at the base? Put down towels and avoid using that toilet. The leak may be dirty water.
  4. Check the cistern lid isn't pressing on the button. It's a common cause of a constantly running toilet.

FAQ

Toilet Repairs: your questions answered

Why does my toilet keep running?

Usually because the flush valve seal or inlet valve inside the cistern is worn, letting water flow into the bowl constantly. It's normally a quick parts replacement.

Is it worth fixing an old toilet or should I replace it?

If the pan and cistern are in good condition, replacing the internal parts is usually the cheapest fix. If it's cracked, leaking at the base repeatedly, or parts are no longer available, a new toilet is often better value.

Can you install a toilet I've bought?

Yes, we can install a customer-supplied toilet. Check it suits your existing waste position (the distance from the wall to the pipe in the floor), or ask us to measure first.

My toilet leaks at the base. Is it serious?

It should be fixed promptly. A leak at the base usually means the seal to the floor waste has failed, and the water can be dirty and can damage flooring underneath.

What about a blocked toilet?

We clear blocked toilets too. If it's blocked further down the line, we'll use drain clearing equipment and a camera if needed. See our blocked drains service for more.
