How to fix a slow filling or broken toilet

[@willlomas9291]

Didn't expect to find the exact same toilet as mine with the exact same problem. Now fixed. Thanks!

[@hypnagog9220]

Thank you. I was going to call a plumber today, but after watching your video I did exactly as you said and for under £5 I have become a family hero!

[@jaywillinkwilde9234]

Brilliant! I've been ignoring this problem for 6 months; fixed in 10 mins and for under £3 after following your instructions. Thank you!

[@raymondbulloch6949]

Great. Clear and straight to the point, no distracting music or aspirations to be Steven Spielberg. Well done.

[@chughes9421]

Fantastic! I never write comments, but this video is definitely worth my first one!! We moved to a new house with 3 loos 2 months ago... ensuite loo wasn't filling at all - it was just making a hissing sound and spraying water, and the downstairs loo wasn't flushing very much and was taking almost 10 minutes to fill for another rubbish weak flush. Watched the video, sent the hubby to ScrewFix (B&Q didn't have the part) and for £9.90 (£4.45 each) fixed both toilets in half an hour! I can't tell you how good it is to not have to either go up or down a flight of stairs to use the loo!! (It's a 3 storey town house) Thank you! 👍😀

[@craig16576]

Considering I am absolutely useless with DIY, this video has just saved my life! Easy to understand, very clear and straight the point. £5.39 from Screw Fix for replacement!

[@eubikedude]

£2.50 from Amazon with free delivery. ;)

[@chriscoleman2489]

Excellent! I have spent 10 minutes and £5 fixing our inlet - domestic harmony is restored. Thank you!

[@MyFriendlyGiant]

Thank you for this video. I have just moved into my first flat and the cistern was taking 10 minutes to fill. I found your video with the exact system as mine; 15 minutes later, a £5 part and the toilet was fixed.

[@benwheeler8100]

3 council plumbers later, watched this video, quick run to plumbsave, 10 minute job and job done, excellent video thank-you 👌🏻

[@andrewwalker2357]

Thank you. Just fixed my toilet using this video. Saved the cost of a plumber.

[@cbristow25]

Like others I've been putting off the slow filling toilet. Followed the video, had exactly this issue, 5.81 from screwfix for a new one and fixed. Total time taken including travel to screwfix about 45 mins. You sir, are a legend

[@gemmaparton7648]

I'm pretty sure this is what is wrong with my toilet and i have been looking for a fix for ages. This is now my weekend job. Thank you.

[@gemmaparton7648]

Just fixed my loo!!!! Thanks so much.

[@johnw8916]

Thank you. I replaced my valve for £4.99 following your clear easy intructions. 😊

[@peileed]

thank you! My first time owning a house and after 6 months this happened, took a while to find the right video but here you are

[@scrivs1989]

I bet you didnt expect to still be helping someone this many years after posting it 😂 thank you

[@pyrofan80]

Wonderful! This fix cost me 5 minutes of time and £4.50 as opposed to the stupid amount I would otherwise have paid to a plumber to fix. Thanks mate.

[@damonamess1476]

Thanks.very useful..cost me £5 and 2 mins of my time..fills up in 40secs now as opposed to 10 mins previously. Great info,saved me a fortune in plumber call out fees

[@03MARA01]

Thank you so much for this video. The problem I had was not the valve, but the whole system being installed the wrong way around, which then stopped the floats movement, but i only could tell that it was installed the wrong way around by watching your video. Thanks once again.

[@alexwoodhouse4097]

Fantastic thank you, fixed my toilet for £4 thanks to this tutorial!

[@KLlewellin]

Toilet literally started doing this the other day but is now back up and running in no time thanks to this video and a replacement washer from Amazon. No having to deal with weeks-long back and forth with the landlord to get it repaired. Extra thumbs up for showing how to turn the water off beforehand. Thanks!

[@juba1944]

Thank you very much. Your video has helped me locate and fix my problem, including the lever where it needs to go. Mine fell off while opening the lid.

[@Klockwork13]

First video i searched for and it matched my model. Luckliy the seal wasn't broken but after watching your video, i put it back to together and its working again. Great Vid!

[@BigRocheyD]

Cheers mate. Got sick of hearing my cistern fill up for 20 mins. Such an easy fix 😀

[@03Dalee]

The time taken from seeing what the problem is to fixing my toilet is less than half an hour (including a trip to the plumbers merchant) all thanks to you video. Superb, thank you

[@worthplaying]

Thanks, Lyle. I was struggling to find advice based on the same cistern that I have. Your video saved me and toilet now working fine.

[@polli-esterUK]

I've scrolled through YT today, looking for my toilet. Came across this video, followed what you did, & bingo I'm off to B & Q. For a washer. Thank you.

[@Shadvox]

Thank you for this video. Found it while searching slow filling toilet, and my toilet looks exactly the same as the one in your video. Saw the same water spray to the right and disassembled to find that same black gasket with a hole in it 😊

[@atticbrowser9698]

Just completed the fix thanks to your vid. Perfect. Very clear instructions. Particularly glad of your advice to take the old part with me to get the replacement. Saved me a call out to a plumber. Many thanks.

[@darraghotoole4178]

You’re an absolute star, just followed your steps and it worked a treat! Saved me calling a plumber

[@adambarlow5620]

Inflation hits! Cost me £6.49 from screwfix but managed to do myself! Thanks for the fabulous and very easy to follow vid

[@marty5219]

Many thanks for this problem....fixed for £5.40 I am very grateful to you.

[@JohnCasey-j5o]

You Lyle....are a modern day hero!! Thankyou very much!!

[@chinenyemary8644]

I have watched other videos but couldn't fix the problem because the toilets were different models. This is exactly my model. Thank you

[@rickhanlon505]

Thanks just fixed my toilet using this video. The value wasnt broken just was stuck. Thanks again

[@RA-hu9tu]

Fixed thank you. £5 siamp washer from screwfix. About 15 minutes fiddling around. Done. Thank you.

[@playingwiththeparks1083]

Great video, just fixed our toilet saved us £50. Thank you.

[@kendraholder8038]

Lyle you are my hero.. thanks to this I only had to spend £5 vs £200 for a plumber!

[@emilymacaulay]

Thank you thank you! This was such a fab video that I (no DIY skills) was able to follow and fix our slow flushing toilet. Great content, pace and didn’t miss out any steps leaving me to work out stuff myself. Thank you!

[@aidanslater9666]

Perfect video, I couldn't work out why my toilet was taking so long to fill, it's completely fixed after watching this video, Cheers!

[@alfonso4955]

Thanks for this straight forward and informative video, you've saved me a huge ball ache!

[@timlewis1761]

Followed your instructions exactly and found the right piece at Screwfix, Irvine. At first they thought they didn’t have it but they checked and found it. Put the new piece in place and it worked perfectly. Thank you.

[@barryhurst1860]

Brilliant video, easy to follow & saved me calling out a plumber. Merry Christmas fella.

[@boldboytv]

Great stuff. Thanks fella. Couldn't believe it - got the old washer out and it looked exactly like the one you pulled out. Thank god I saw your vid before trying what another one was suggesting about dismantling the unit and cleaning the filter, which would have been a complete waste of time.

[@Kazareth]

Brilliant, thank you so much. I saved a fortune on a plumber and it only took a few minutes!

[@markpaultaylor1979]

Excellent vid. As of today,3.87 GBP in B and Q. Cheaper on amazon but ethier ways, better than a cistern that takes forever to fill

[@faheemjimmy]

Lyle very informative video , I had a same problem water tank took ages to fill and this valve was the fault, I have done myself with your video. Thanks bro

[@Feelthatbass]

My toilet had this exact problem. So glad your video exists! Quick trip to Screwfix and I have a normal toilet again. Thanks.

[@syedimranali9]

Spot on. I bought Arctic Products Siamp Diaphragm Washer from Screfix and followed instructions in the video. Hardly took 2-3 min

[@mcwalsh7]

Fantastic Video ! fixed in 10 minutes with a replacement from Amazon for £2.39 free delivery

[@SuperClairetube]

Thanks so much for this! Totally just fixed my toilet all by myself. Only cost me £3.50 for the new valve!

[@mrindecisive100]

Thanks so much for this, toilet fixed for £3.15! By the way, contrary to the information below, the part I required from B & Q was an 'Opella Washer (DIA) 20mm (Product Code: 5013241067829). So better check which one you require before heading off to your local B & Q store.

[@neilgrady8384]

Thanks mate grate video just got a washer from screwfix £5.48 took me 15 minutes to fix toilet working great now thanks again

[@sawdustandsurvival]

Thank you so much. Things are tight at the moment and if you'd not posted this I'd have paid British Gas my £60 callout fee from my cover. Instead it cost me £3.49. It's Christmas and with having excited kids I've never needed that money more!

[@joannaedmonds397]

Just saved me a lot of heartache during lockdown. Ordered the part I needed on amazon. Thank you!!

[@ufarooq3750]

Link please?

[@joannaedmonds397]

[@rodhirsch]

Thanks very much for posting. I had the same problem - and luckily, exactly the same fittings. Screwfix came up trumps with the part, and I did the rest in about five minutes flat.

[@OneBenBeyond]

Thank you, showed us how to solve the issue! Was weird pulling it apart to see exactly what you were showing was likely the problem!

[@MrRayhanul2000]

Perfect, found the problem, ordered the part and installed all in 30 minutes

[@ruchirkawle]

Thanks. Sorted both slow filling toilets today excellent 3 min video.

[@TheKingeboue27]

Thanks, this helped me fix mine no part needed! When i unscrewed the plastic cap thing I came to a little plastic squidgy bit that had 2 small holes- I used the tool for cleaning the coffee machine which is like a hair pin to clean out the holes- worked for me. (for now at least)

[@hazelpayne4339]

Thank you so much for this - it fixed our problem during the Lockdown when we could not get a plumber!!!!!

[@johng5806]

Thanks - you probably saved me about £80 call out!! Great share.

[@zafran2011]

Amazing didn’t need to call out a plumber this helped a lot I changed the valve within 5 minutes happy days 😊

[@alecmacknight]

Brilliant, I had a slightly different mechanism/set-up - but same theory. I had a little blockage in the valve which I disloged with a paperclip, so I didn't even need to replace anything. This video saved me a plumber call out and therefore lots of money

[@logins]

That is exactly my model and my issue! Thank you so much!

[@solowingpixy8190]

yea wtf this was far to accurate

[@kotlikalan2]

Mine too

[@MiniTheVinx]

Excellent. Well, I say that but I haven't actually tried yet. Will update when I do but thank you for explaining how it works and showing what needs to be done.

[@redbb2680]

You're a star, thanks Lyle. Same toilet, same issue, now fixed! Well when I say the same toilet, I don't mean yours... 😄 Really appreciate the upload 👍🏽

[@jonnyginge0]

Excellent video. Saved us a few pound. Thanks Lyle.

[@Darenbranch]

Cheers , thanks to your video I managed to fix the cistern and saved myself a few quid in the process 👍

[@stu1664]

Again you were bang on the money, problem now solved - many thanks!!!!

[@paulmeynell8866]

Brilliant, couldn’t see anything wrong with washer but guessed it eas the problem. Thanks for the video.

[@harrisofasi]

Thanks a million. Just fixed the water over by watching your clip. God bless

[@stephaniewoolcock1763]

Great video! This has saved me calling a plumber! 🙈 Now have a running toilet! Thank you!!

[@sophiafarmer7587]

Thank you, watched this video and managed to fix mine!! Exactly same problem

[@clusterm2]

Many thanks got me out of a fix. Mine isn't as accessible as yours being boxed in behind the toilet. However, pointing out that notch, which I hadn't noticed and the fact that though my rubber seal looked fine, a little bit of stretching showed up the split. Most useful, thanks again.

[@jeanettetynan1853]

Thank you for this video. You have saved me a few pounds as did it my self and didn't need a plumber x 😁😁😀😀

[@steptacular99dale]

Thank you so much for this, just saved me calling a plumber and only cost me £2 for the part!

[@Piner5074]

Just wanted to say thanks for the advice, allowing me to be able to do this fix myself, and saving a fortune on a plumber, even if one could come round what with the proposed lockdown next week. It being non essential. Again Thanks...👍

[@Ella0575]

Brilliant, thank you for that video. My problem has been solved, toilet repaired!

[@andykc8023]

Absolutely brilliant video - thank you so much! My endlessly refilling loo has been bugging me for well over a year. Valve was split, EXACTLY like the one in the video. Off to B&Q now... :o)

[@danielangell1929]

Old video but just saved my day! Thanks fella 👌🏻

[@reighbh13]

Thanks for this, such a cheap and easy fix

[@jdlee5329]

I thought I was the only one with this type of toilet😂not many videos about with these type of fittings thankyou for Sharing👍

[@rickymob28]

Thanks for this video, we moved into our house a year ago and got around to investigating the issue today. Found your video very helpful 👍 Also don't go to B&Q, a universal one is questionable 😬 I went to screw fix and they had the exact one like for like - a little bit more money, but it should last longer 🤞 Gave a 👍

[@ElGrosho]

I can't believe this actually fixed my toilet. Thank you !

[@mikejames663]

Super presentation, easy to follow steps, top man.

[@simontrent2746]

Thanks mate. I had done this once before but needed a reminder.

[@w4rr10ra]

Top Banana!! The advice was perfect even down to purchasing the component. Top Fella - As Video was clear & percise, even down to undoing the nut.. (Pay attention) THANKS MAN!!

[@garethparsons3902]

Fantastic video- thanks saved me a small fortune

[@juliafarrell2131]

Fantastic I've mended my toilet following this video. Thank you very well explained....

[@bazx7786]

I just fitted mine today. Thank you for showing me how to do this 👍🏽

[@davy50g55]

this just happened to me today! Same kit as you have demonstrated. thanks.

[@alanjohnson3812]

Very clear, completely accurate. Screwfix provided the part (Plumbase however was selling a packet of 10 for £8).

[@focusgaz]

U got a part number for it by any chance

[@carlfinch8220]

Nice one mate. Saved me a few quid. 👌

[@oddball6992]

Thanks your a life saver as the wife was on my case to fix it 🤣
