Toilet repairs explained
Toilets Fixed the Right Way
A toilet is a simple fixture with only a few moving parts, which is good news when something goes wrong. Most of the toilet repairs we do across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and the Gold Coast come down to a worn valve, a perished washer or a seal that has given up after years of use. Finding which part has failed is the real skill, because the same symptom can have two or three causes.
Why a running toilet is worth fixing
A cistern that keeps refilling is easy to ignore, but it runs day and night and the usage adds up on your bill. The usual culprits are the flush valve seal, which lets water slip into the bowl, or an inlet valve that overfills the tank so water spills down the overflow. Both are normally repaired with new parts rather than a new toilet. For rentals, a running toilet is one of the first things to check when a tenant queries a high water bill.
Leaks at the base are a different job
Water around the foot of the pan can come from the flexi hose or stop tap on the wall, the washers between cistern and pan, or the pan collar where the toilet joins the waste pipe. The first two leak clean water. A failed pan collar leaks after every flush and can soak into the floor, so it is worth sorting quickly. We trace the leak first, then reseat the pan or replace the collar so it stays dry.
In-wall cisterns and new toilets
In-wall cisterns look tidy, but the working parts sit behind the wall. In most cases we reach them through the button plate, with no need to touch the tiles, though some valves are specific to the make and need ordering in. If you have bought a new toilet, we can fit it; check whether the waste goes into the floor or the wall before you buy. For businesses, we repair and replace accessible toilets and cisterns too.
