Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my toilet keep running after flushing?
A toilet that keeps running is usually caused by a faulty flapper, float, fill valve, or seal inside the cistern. These components control how the cistern fills and empties, and if one isn’t working correctly, water may continue flowing into the bowl. This constant trickle can waste thousands of litres each year and increase your water bill. In some cases, the issue may be as simple as an incorrect float height or worn rubber seal. A plumber can inspect the mechanism, adjust or replace the necessary parts, and ensure the toilet shuts off properly once flushed. Prompt repairs help save water and money.
Is it better to repair or replace an old toilet?
If your toilet is constantly leaking, flushing poorly, or using excessive water, replacing it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Older models can be inefficient and may have worn internal components that frequently require repairs. Newer toilets are designed to use less water while providing better flushing performance, helping reduce water bills. However, minor issues such as a faulty valve or broken flush button can often be repaired. A plumber can assess the condition of your toilet and provide advice on whether a repair or replacement would be the most practical and economical choice.
Why is there water leaking around the base of the toilet?
Water pooling around the base of a toilet can be a sign of a worn wax ring, loose mounting bolts, a cracked toilet base, or condensation. It is important to have the problem assessed quickly, as ongoing leaks may cause damage to the floor or subfloor and create a health hazard due to mould and bacteria. A plumber will inspect the seal and surrounding fittings to determine the cause and carry out the necessary repairs. Fixing a base leak promptly ensures your toilet remains secure, hygienic and watertight, protecting both your bathroom and plumbing system.
