The Toilet Problems We Fix
From a cistern that runs all night to a pan that rocks, every repair is priced before any work starts.
Toilet Keeps Running
Water trickles into the bowl nonstop or the cistern refills on its own. A worn inlet valve or flush valve seal is the usual cause, and we replace it in an exposed or concealed cistern.
Leaking At The Base
Water pooling around the pan after a flush usually means the rubber connector where the pan joins the drain has perished. We replace it and seal the pan back down.
Won't Flush Or Won't Fill
The button does nothing, the flush is weak, or the cistern will not refill. We replace the button, flush valve or inlet valve to suit your cistern. If the water rises in the bowl instead, it is a blocked toilet.
Leaking Stop Tap Or Hose
A drip from the tap on the wall behind the toilet or from the braided hose into the cistern. Old flexi hoses can split without warning, so we replace a tired one before it floods the floor.
Loose Or Rocking Toilet
A pan that moves when you sit on it breaks its seal to the drain and starts to leak. We lift it, replace the seal and fix it back down firmly.
Old Or Cracked Cisterns
A cracked cistern or lid, or an old cistern whose parts are no longer made. We replace the cistern, or quote a new toilet if the whole suite is past saving.
How Bad Is Your Toilet Problem?
What your toilet is doing tells you how quickly it needs a plumber, and what to do in the meantime.
Water On The Floor
Water is spreading across the floor from the base, the hose or the stop tap. Turn off the stop tap on the wall behind the toilet, put towels down and call us.
Running Or Won't Flush
The cistern runs nonstop, will not refill, or the button does nothing. If it keeps running, turn the stop tap off between flushes. If it won't flush, a bucket of water poured into the bowl will do until we get there.
Slow Seep Or A Wobble
A damp patch or stain around the base, or a pan that rocks when you sit down. It can wait a few days, but water under the floor rots and stains it, so get it booked in.
How We Repair Your Toilet
Toilet repairs Sydney wide: find the fault, agree the price, fix it properly and test it.
Fixed price firstFind The Fault
We check the valves in the cistern, the stop tap and hose, and the seal at the base to find exactly where the water is going, then give you one fixed price before any work starts.
Licensed plumbersFix It Properly
Worn valves, seals and hoses are replaced with parts that suit your cistern. If the base is leaking, the pan comes off and the connector to the drain is replaced before it goes back down.
Tested before we leaveProve It Flushes Properly
We flush toilet paper through several times, check the cistern refills and shuts off, and check the base, hose and stop tap are dry. Every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Toilet Repairs FAQs
Answer:
It depends on the part and the job: a new inlet valve or flush button is a smaller job than lifting the pan to replace the seal at the base, or replacing a cracked cistern. We find the fault first, then give you one fixed price to approve before any work starts. There is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours. Current Sydney market ranges by fault are in our toilet cost guide.
Answer:
Sometimes. Lift the cistern lid and check that the float is not catching on anything and the flush button is not stuck down. If water still trickles into the bowl after that, the inlet valve or the seal on the flush valve is worn and needs replacing, and a plumber can fit parts that suit your cistern.
Answer:
Either water is getting past a worn seal on the flush valve, or the inlet valve is not shutting off when the cistern is full and the water keeps overflowing into the bowl. Both waste water around the clock, and both parts can be replaced without replacing the toilet. Our guide on how to fix a running toilet shows the five-minute check and the dye test.
Answer:
The cistern has a slow leak into the bowl, usually past a worn flush valve seal, so it tops itself up every so often. To check, put a few drops of food colouring in the cistern and wait without flushing. If colour shows in the bowl, the seal is leaking.
Answer:
Usually the rubber connector where the pan joins the drain has perished, or the pan has worked loose and broken the seal. Water can also run down from a leaking cistern or hose and pool at the base, so we check those first. Left alone, a leak at the base soaks into the floor and grout.
Answer:
Repair makes sense when the pan and cistern are sound and the fault is a valve, button, hose or seal. If the pan or cistern is cracked, the parts for an old cistern are no longer made, or the toilet keeps breaking down, a new toilet is the better use of your money. We tell you which on the spot, with a fixed price for either.
Answer:
It is when water is spreading across the floor, coming through a ceiling below, or it is the only toilet in the house. Turn off the stop tap on the wall behind the toilet and call 1300 677 752. We run a 24/7 emergency service across Sydney, and outside business hours a call-out fee may apply at our discretion, which we always confirm with you before we attend.
