It usually needs at least 2 flushes to even shift just toilet paper. It hasn’t been used for anything other than that. It’s a...

    Toilet flush valve seals - unusual sizing

    Toilet flushes fine - but then appears to back up.

    Moved into house and had new downstairs cloakroom toilet fitted. Flushes perfectly and quickly. However, over the next hour or two the water discolours as though it has not been flushed and if a brush is then used, bits of paper and ‘other matter’ appear in the bowl. Any ideas please? Confused...

    Toilet flushing problem

    Hi, can anyone explain why my toilet does not flush the contents away now that I have had a new cistern fitted. The plumber came back and adjusted the volume of water in the cistern, then came back and replaced the mechanism which began sticking, preventing it filling up. Still I have this...
