Repairs and Maintenance
Standard and concealed cistern repair
A cistern that constantly runs, fills slowly, or does not flush properly often requires replacement of only an individual mechanism.
Cistern faults can waste a significant amount of water and become worse over time. The problem is most often in the float, inlet valve, or flush mechanism.
Typical symptoms
- water constantly runs into the toilet bowl
- the cistern fills very slowly
- the button does not activate flushing
- the valve does not shut off the supply
- leaking at the connection
Concealed cisterns
With concealed systems, the mechanism can usually be accessed through the opening behind the flush plate without unnecessarily damaging the finished wall.
