Is your toilet constantly running, using up valuable water?

Sometimes the little flapper valve in the cistern gets stuck and you end up with a constantly running toilet… you can normally hear it running in the background.

Here’s a full video demonstration how to fix and repair the flush valve for little to no cost! The video also shows you what parts to buy to repair the leak.

1. Empty some food colouring into the water in the cistern

2. Wait a few hours. Can you see the food colouring in the bowl of the toilet? If so, you have a leak.

3.  The toilet float will constantly be getting the signal to ‘keep filling’ when the valve gets jammed… and that is the root cause of your leak.

So now you know there is a problem, follow the video instructions below… and before you know it you’ll have the toilet ready to use!

Are you seeing water on the floor around the base of your toilet?

What do you do if your toilet  is leaking, and how do you fix and repair it as cheap as possible so it stops the leak? Video below shows you how!

The chances are you have a damaged wax gasket seal. To replace this seal, you will have to remove the toilet from the floor.

The good news is that it won’t cost you much money to do this, rather it’s a labour intensive job that is actually easier to do then you might think as you’re about to see in the video.

Step 1. Make sure you shut off the small tap behind the toilet to stop the flow of water coming into the cistern. If you can’t see a shut off valve, the you need to head out onto the street to your main incoming water valve. There may be a shut off between your toilet and the outside mains shut off.

Step 2. Empty your cistern by simply flushing the toilet to reduce the amount of water that could flow out onto the floor during the repair.

All the step are outlined in this short video below… start to finish!
