[@Khamosshiya]

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. We had very high water bill and after assessment, Anglian Water Technician said that there was no leakage found. However, we paid a plumber to discover that the flush valve/flapper needs replacing as it was causing extra water leaking into the toilet. Now Anglian water refuse to acknowledge that there was any leakage and expects us to pay extortionate payment.

Nightmare! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi, Very simple instructions not over complicated. Can you get replacement plastic bag like tubes that make the filling of the cistern quieter?

Great video - thanks. We've got similar toilets and I need to replace a fill valve, but like yours it's not accessible. Any idea how to replace the fill valve on these toilets?

[@aaanton11]

you will need to remove the panel to gain access , Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@balciunas2]

Hey, great video. Did the same. Changed the whole mechanism and the bottom part where it attaches. Still dripping.. where is the issue then? Faulty part?? Bought from amazon.

[@aaanton11]

Must Be, check the seal to make sure there is no moulding nipples causing the drip, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi I have a armitage shanks toilet and the seal is clean and still very flexible and rubbery, so it looks like I need to reply the whole cistern it measures 27cm which one do I need the long or the short? Amazing video 😁

[@aaanton11]

should be this one, amzn.to/3k6nHFr Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@3619jon]

Is it ok to remove the flush valve with the water turned on? I can't reach my isolation valve and really don't wanna turn all the water off

[@aaanton11]

no need to turn off the water, but the cistern will keep filling as the water drops Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@elainevenier1624]

By following his steps, I took out that cistern gubbins, cleaned the seal, as he said, put it back in and POW! I'm a live alone woman of an older age and thank you Sir I fixed it myself!

[@aaanton11]

Thats Great News, well done Thanks Elaine for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@dave1976lyons]

Hi, the little ball valve and filling part on my toilet are the same but not the pull out section. I live in flats and my internal stop cock is seized, I have no isolation valve to the toilet inlet and it’s currently running constantly even if I lift the ball valve. I have a hose syphoning the water directly into the bath at the moment so it doesn’t flood over the top of the system....hope all that made sense. Is there anything I can do to stop the flow before I arrange getting the main stop cock sorted?

[@aaanton11]

you can buy freeze spray, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@lilyrose1963]

Yep cilit bang defo does the job thanks for video👍

[@Hughaww]

I have a friend who replaced the stem and valve in his toilet with an Armitage Ideal Vidima valve. It works beautifully on high pressure, however will not stop running on low. How can this be rectified? HW.

[@aaanton11]

do you have a large pressure differential on the mains system? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@reflexxtr]

Brilliant informative video (you have a new subscriber🙂) I have a similar problem when I flush the toilet water starts leaking round the toilet bowl and the tank won’t fill properly. so I have to keep pressing the button (re flushing) till it stops but it can take a few attempts also the Crome tops on the buttons were missing when I moved into the house and have been lost can these be replaced hope you can help take care.

[@aaanton11]

If its leaking and the buttons are no good might be worth looking at this amzn.to/3KFXQnl Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi thanks for the info I need 2 new duel flush button replacements for both toilets however amazon have loads of different ones that look like cheap quality and have bad reviews can you recommend a ‘good’ make cheers

[@ste1204cart1]

Hi. I’ve replaced the rubber seal but still overflowing. I then replaced the whole cistern but it’s still overflowing? 😬

[@aaanton11]

is it the overflow causing the issue, ie the water in the tank too high? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@stang266]

I replaced the seal, Is the seal meant to be much larger than the one originally fitted? However, it still leaks, Do I need to just replace the whole unit in this case?

[@aaanton11]

The seal will be larger if the old one has disintegrated, if it still has an issue I would replace the unit,Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@jessicasmale7105]

I have this problem! I'm no plumber and don't know the technical terms....I think my leak is coming from the seal from the flush holder (the thing the flush valve clips out of). I have no idea of the name so don't know how to order a new one 🤦🏼‍♀️ any ideas? 🙈

[@aaanton11]

dirt in the intake seal, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@evildead2002]

Just curious mate, What happens if you have a running toilet, check the rubber seal (which was absolutely filthy) clean it up good as new as none of it has corroded or anything, but it still leaks through? Also it's not just leaking but emptying about every 30 secs. Had to turn the water off as its just refilling and flushing in a loop lol. Thanks for your help!

[@aaanton11]

Sound like you need a new cistern, links are in the video description, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@evildead2002]

aaanton11 ah no worries! Thanks mate I’ll grab one.

[@paulbeel9386]

I think I have the same toilet. However, mine stops running as soon as I take the lid off, so I think the button is pushing down keeping the valve open all the time. Is there any way to correct this?

[@aaanton11]

I would check the seal, most likely you will find it to be dirty, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@nathanc3189]

mine is doing this and the quick resolve i do daily is i lift the lid about a centimeter and it stops almost instantly, would this be from the float?

[@aaanton11]

I would say its the same issue as in the video, pop the unit out and have a look, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@derf9465]

Another peice of awesome info, when you lift it out of the toilet don't turn it over!!! Water everywhere 🤦‍♂️
