Go on then I'll post in the proper sub forum I suppose..........
Fitted a bathroom suite a few weeks ago and I'm going back to do some other jobs in a week, toilet cistern (Homebase rubbish) dripped very slightly down the thread of one of the fixing bolts, enough to see a small patch on the floorboard the next day.
Cistern off and checked every connection and doughnut, then refitted.........next day dreaded droplet on end of bolt again.
Cistern off and replaced doughnut for better quality type, refitted and filled up cistern but didn't flush.........next day same dreaded droplet.
Cistern off and undid everything to blank cistern and inspected with light, so visible cracks. I carefully refitted everything making sure every rubber seal was perfectly maited and no dodgy ceramic around the holes, refitted and left overnight without flushing..........next day same BS droplet!
Cistern off and stripped everything back and refitted (much to my disapproval) everything with LSX and a smear of silicone around the doughnut. Left a good 18 hours and then filled the cistern and yes of course it leaked.
It also pools slightly on the back of the toilet pan, I really wish it was condensation but it isn't beacause I tried it with warm water overnight and it was still the same, the house it empty and the other toilet is bone dry.
Is there such thing as a pourus cistern?
