toilet

Some of the houses on our street were all built by the same developer and thus had the same lean-to we currently have as seen in the picture below (originally used as the outside toilet). I've thought for a while about extending it to house more utilities but I'm not sure if this is something...

Is it possible to buy a closed coupled toilet with an insulated cistern? I would like to prevent condensation on the cistern in the colder months. I am aware of suggestions to insulate them yourself with polystyrene, but apparently this only lasts a few years (and probably less if I attempt the...

The soil pipes from our two toilets are ascending for a short distance - just under 400mm to the external wall. This seems a bit odd to me, but I am not in the building trade so don't know much about plumbing. The toilets work, but the do seem to block quite often. I am not sure if it is because...

Hi all, My loft conversion coming to an end finally. Just after some advise regarding the soil Vent. My original vent was on a flat roof extension of the house, which has now been roofed over and made into a room. The vent pipe was removed and had a toilet connected to it(loft shower room) but...

The flush valve in one of our toilets has broken and I need to replace it. I've done it before and it's not a huge job. Unfortunately, however, the cowboy who installed the toilet has siliconed it to the wall instead of using screws. They also appear to have caulked the gap between the cistern...

hi everyone a short while ago, our push button toilet flush started playing up a bit. it would get stuck down so the water was continuously flowing in to the pan. usually, lifting up the tank lid caused it to pop back out anyway, the button has finally completely broken, so i'm looking for a...

Hi, I'm trying to replace an old toilet inlet valve but having trouble with the flexible metal connector tube. It's a bottom fill system. The fixed mains water pipe comes up from the floor and terminates with an isolator valve (which I've switched off) - it is then joined to the plastic toilet...

Hi I've bought an 1880s house with no heating, barely any electrics and a bathroom in an outhouse. The outhouse is connected to the house by a now-rotting wooden porch-like structure. This structure could easily be knocked down and removed and the outbuilding would again be completely separate...

I have a flexible pan connector going from my toilet, into the wall. The toilet pipe (on the left side) is standard ≈ 90mm Diameter But the wall pipe (on the right side) is non-standard and old and ≈100mm Diameter For some reason the pan pipe degrades once a year (maybe i have hungry mice) or...

Downstairs loo doesn't always flush away solids, or sometimes it appears to, then solid floats back into view, or water discolours, but I only see this a few hours later when I return. A plumber came round and said it wasn't the flush it was a blocked pipe so get Dynorod. I got Dynorod who...

Hello, Wondering if anyone has had experience opening a cistren where under the 2 buttons looked like the below?? I have tried to turn the chrome ring anti clockwise but there is quite a bit of resistance so I'm scared I will break something. Grateful for any advice as the water from the...

Hi, I'm inexperienced with plumbing but keen to give it a go... also female so don't have man strength or many tools, but have a few! My toilet makes loud foghorn pipe noises after flushing that is resolved when I lift up the ballcock arm. I think the washer may need replacing (after googling...

Hi guys, Having a few issues with the toilet at the house I've just started renting. I'd ask the landlord but I want it seen to today so I'll try it myself! Wondering if anyone could assist me in fixing a slow filling cistern, I don't really know where to start with fixing a toilet so any help...

Someone has suggested to us that in order to save space in our bathroom we hang the cistern in the airing cupboard, directly behind the toilet. The airing cupboard is directly behind the toilet, and does not contain a boiler (so it's just really a cupboard now). It sounds great to save space in...

Hi guys, I really want to knock down my outdoor toilet. It basically falling apart anyway. The toilet has been taken out and capped off. I own the house. Forgive me for being silly but can I just start knocking it down carefully with a sledgehammer?

We've had an AAV fitted in our upstairs bathroom - but I'm convinced something is not right with the plumbing/connections somewhere as most days there is an awful smell coming from the room - like we have a direct link to the main sewers!! We've had a few plumbers round but nobody has been able...

Hi guys, just after some experienced opinions if you don't mind? We're doing our bathroom at the moment and we've had to move the toilet, so in doing so the waste pipe has had to be moved. I'm just not sure there's enough of an angle for it not to cause blockages in the future. What do you guys...

Hi all, Wonder if anyone out there can offer some advice regarding connecting up a toilet pan to the existing waste outlet. I pulled out the old pan and waste, and bought a flexible pan connector. I managed to get the end into the wall socket using the existing rubber gasket, but only after a...

Hi, I have a toilet with drain in the floor. I want to screed the floor, raising it about 100mm, and add a new toilet, sink and washing machine trap. My first thought was to get an extender that will be buried in the screed. This would then join a 90 degree pan connector with boss, to connect...
