I usually charge around £60 in Brum for a syphon replacement (£80-£90 when down in London) and unless its really tiny toilet cut rusted wingnuts off with the angle grinder.

If I split the toilet and cistern I put a new donut in every time.

Nice! Do they work as well as they do in the video? Reminds me of the old fashioned profile/contour guages, used to be fascinated by my grandads one, inherrited all of his tools and I still carry it around despite pretty much never using it. I like tools way too much, the missus' eyes glaze over the minute the topic comes up

Yep, learnt that one the hard way, for the sake of the cost of one, saves a whole load of potential faffing about!

50 to 60 quid to change a syphon are you having a laugh! !!
Considering you need to see what type it is first then go get one and come back to fit . I charge 2 hours plus part very rarely have the exact syphon in the van.
Absolutely no way would I do it for 50 quid . Sprawling around some grotty bog where high chance pee has been splashed on the floor no no no

Two things, don`t be misled by the video and if you think about it how often do you have the room to use it under the cistern on wing nuts even if you use a ratchet rather than that driver in the video.

I charge around 2-3 times the figures being suggested for a syphon. Been doing that for last 8+ years, vast majority of customers use me again, take my time, advise them to change inlet while I'm there if it looks old, new doughnut, new cc kit or through bolts if any sign of a hint of weep on one of the bolts or it was tiny bit loose, usually new screws to wall with penny and rubber washers, fit a handle isolator if there isn't one and show them how to use it. Make a job of it and make it a job well done.

I get a few jobs from Facebook but some people have no idea.
Not just plumbing, people want plasterers and tilers to start today, man and a van to drive one end of town to the other for £10, a garden full of rubbish tipped for £20 and people are queuing up to do the jobs

They don’t comply with water regs especially the dog washing ones (cat 5 risk)
