How to fix a leaking toilet cistern with dual push buttons.
Toilet cistern still running after flushing?
Is your toilet leaking constantly inside the bowl after flushing? Mine was but the dual flush cistern mechanism is all working correctly so the leak is at the base of the toilet where the cistern unit is attached. This simple to follow tutorial shows you how to remove the Cistern dual flush mechanism and then remove the base unit attachment and washer\gasket and clean it all up and fix it back in and stop the leak. So if your toilet WC is constantly running from the cistern to the bowl or pan it is hopefully easy to fix. The tiniest bit of grit on a rubber washer can make the toilet leak. The culprit for my leaking toilet was the rubber seal underneath and there's a big thread plastic nut that goes up underneath the system that holds that on and gives the cistern a water-tight seal.
If this washer gasket fails or gets perished then water will constantly run into the bowl.
Hope you get it sorted, please subscribe if you found this useful.
Enjoy your Cup of Tea. And make sure you wash your hands after this job.
Top Tip: Never start a plumbing job on a Sunday night, only start a plumbing job if you know the Local Plumbers shop is open as you will probably need parts or washers etc.

My run leak was caused by the washer inside the flush unit, the one that allows the water to flush when the mechanism is raised but I only discovered that after resealed everything else on the cistern. It had distorted to the shape of the housing over time and did not form a tight seal, removing the washer wiping it down and replacing it upside down fixed the leak, a five minute job after a whole morning of wasted effort elsewhere, lol.

So I'll need to get the cistern off the wall and the bowl. Problem there is one of the bolts to the bowl is rusted to buggery. Cue two hours with a dremel in the tightest corner on the planet.

Is there an alternative instead of plumbers mate?

A BCD You could use plumbers tape but really that’s for smaller threads. In theory you don’t need to use anything. Just don’t overtighten!!!!

Hello, maybe someone knows exact serial number of this dual flush button system unit or have some other reference that could be useful for finding replacement unit on the web? Thanks in advance for any help and HUGE thanks #Lurgs for this extremely useful video.

In my experience I would isolate the water from the toilet, remove the entire flush unit then take it to a local plumbers shop\hardware store and get an exact match. Good luck.

Anyone got any idea how to stop a leak on the outside? The tanks leaking on the bottom left, dribbling down the outside of the bowl!
@LurgsHowToGuides
@LurgsHowToGuides 3 года назад
Never heard of a leaking tank before, is it leaking from a seal or where it's chipped? Are you sure it's not just condensation in a cold bathroom?
