What goes wrong with a toilet, and what fixes it

A running or rocking toilet is usually a worn valve, seal or fixing, not a broken toilet. A cistern that keeps running has an inlet valve that is not shutting off, or a seal letting water past into the pan. A toilet that rocks has come loose at the floor. Water at the base is usually a leak at a seal or a connection.

We test the toilet to find the failed part, then tell you the fix before we touch anything. A repair is worth it when the pan and cistern are sound. When they are cracked, or the toilet is at the end of its life, a new one is the better answer, and that is renovation plumbing. It is a good job to book alongside the rest of your plumbing maintenance and repairs.

Signs a toilet needs repair

  • Water keeps running after a flush

    A running cistern wastes water continuously.

  • The toilet rocks

    It has come loose at the floor, and a rocking toilet can leak at the base.

  • Water around the base

    Usually a failed seal or connection. It should not wait long, because it can damage the floor.

  • A cistern that is slow or noisy to fill

    Often the inlet valve has worn.

  • A flush button that sticks or fails

    The mechanism is a replaceable part.

The parts we repair

  • Inlet valves

    An inlet valve fills the cistern and shuts off. A worn one keeps water running.

  • Outlet valves and seals

    They hold water in the cistern until you flush. A worn one lets water slip into the pan.

  • Flush buttons and levers

    The part you press, and the linkage behind it.

  • Pan connections and seals

    Where the toilet joins the floor and the drain.

Is it the only toilet in the house?

Tell us when you call, so we know it cannot wait for a convenient day. If a pipe is leaking and the water will not stop, that is emergency plumbing.

Toilet repairs: what to know first

Either an inlet valve that is not shutting off, or an outlet seal letting water past into the pan. Either way the water never stops. We find the failed part and replace it.

It has come loose at the floor, usually at the fixings or the seal beneath it. It needs refitting properly, because a toilet that rocks can leak at the base and damage the floor over time.

Usually a failed seal or connection, and sometimes a crack in the pan. A seal is a repair. A cracked pan is a replacement. We check the pan to see which.

Repair it when the pan and cistern are sound and the fault is a part, such as a valve, a seal or the flush mechanism. Replace it when the pan or cistern is cracked, or when repairs keep coming. We say which applies to yours.

A running cistern or a rocking toilet can wait for a booked visit, but a leak at the base should not wait long, because it can damage the floor. If it is the only toilet in the house, tell us when you call so we know it cannot wait.

The part that has failed, the type of toilet and how easy it is to reach. A valve or a seal is usually the smaller bill, while a cracked pan is a replacement. You get a written price before we start.
