Fix a Leak – Leak Repairs NZ Wide!

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!
