    Flush valve replacement. What make is this?

    Hi everyone. Being driven mad by a leaking toilet. 2 in fact!! It’s not the fill valve over filling to the overflow so assume it’s the flush valve. Anyone know what make this is?

    Toilet won't flush

    We had a plumber install a high rise low flow (1.6 gal / flush) toilet about a year ago. It worked fine for about 6 months. Since then, the plumber has been here 3 times because the toilet won't flush properly. The plumber has used a RIGID tool. He has replaced the ball cock and cleaned the...

    I*ve had to replace the clip base of the flush assembly on my Thomas Dudley Vantage concealed cistern (the lugs that hold the flush assembly had broken off).

    Geberit Omega 82 Flush - not filling pan.

    Geberit Omega 82cm cisterns; 3 toilets - all the same. On the upper floors, the toilets flush sufficiently for the water to cover the full rim of the toilet and pan. On the ground floor, the flush seems weaker and the pan isn't fully rinsed by the flush. We've adjusted the flush volume but it...

    Vantage concealed cistern, flush mounting clips broken.

    I’ve got a vantage concealed cistern that had an intermittent problem a couple of years ago whereby the flush wouldn’t shut off and it continuously overflowed into the bowl. As it was a new build I had the builder send a plumber round to resolve the issue. That worked until recently when it...

    Toilet Flush Button Stuck

    Hi, For a while now one of my flush buttons on the toilet has started sticking down and so it just continues flushing. I can get it to pop back up by wiggling it around a bit but this is starting to get quite annoying. Is there any part of the system I could easily replace myself that would fix...

    Dual flush stopped working

    It's a Thomas Dudley Vantage (TD 212-A) dual flush. Possibly getting on for 13 years old. I'm not a plumber but I try to solve problems myself. I found members of this forum extremely helpful some years ago when I installed a replacement Mira shower - very proud of myself! I've had to sign up...

    Is powerflush really any better than chemical plus mains flush? (before boiler repair)

    Hello, BEFORE I cleaned the system last year with a mains flush. There was a little inky stuff and a bit of sludge at the very end when I emptied out the rad I took off the wall, but no rads have ever had cold patches. Most pipes are hep20 but I had small section replaced by copper 2 years ago...

    How long to power flush

    Hi guys. a few questions. I’ve got a blocked system and am looking at a power flush to resolve it. Heat is getting to the flow tails and into the rads but I’d say at 50% of what they should be. Had a plumber attained and do everything possible ie check valves, TRVs, cleaned out rads with a...

    Power Flush advice needed

    Dear all I’m a home owner looking for advice. I recently had a power flush which was unsuccessful at clearing a blocked pipe. I do appreciate these things are not guaranteed. My question is does time taken reflect on outcome? The reason I need to understand this is the company employed...

    Dual Flush Toilet Issues

    Hi The push button on my Wirquin flush stuck so in trying to release it I managed to break the button! See photos. As it's also leaking into the pan should I just replace the whole mechanism? If so, what is a good replacement? And is it easy to replace? Thanks for any help. Steve

    Could someone help me ID this flush?

    My house has consistently been plagued by leaky dual action cisterns since I bought it. The fact that the cisterns are firmly hidden away behind plasterboard walls with nothing but a small access hole where the faceplate of the cistern is located has never helped. I have finally taken the...

    I need to replace my existing pneumatic button flush, as the rubber diaphragm that lifts the flush mechanism is leaking, and was wondering whether I should go for another pneumatic, or are cable ones more reliable? The outlet hole seems to be 40mm internally, but the pipe looks to be 50mm...
