How to replace a toilet cistern and seat. 

Thanks Darren so easy to follow and I got the job done without sweating. Fantastic video.

Thanks Darren! My super old toilet stopped working today and by watching your video I was able to fix the cistern myself. I really appreciate the clear instructions!

About a week ago I’ve replaced a toilet cistern because it was leaking and there was not any parts for it. I replaced it with one exactly the same and reused the screw holes. The cisterns were both Caroma Uniset. The old one was a Uniset I and the new one is Uniset II. But I did not replace the seat because the seat was put on January 2022.

First! Did a cistern not long back but the replacement was from the landlord's shed and just as big so we put two (!!!) bricks inside to displace some of the volume of water. Because it was a modern flush mechanism there was nothing for the bricks to foul, and we got to use almost two litres less water. Cool to see how to get through tiles though, the one here was mounted to a trimmer behind plasterboard.

Thanks for sharing. Very well explained. Thank you.

Hey Darren’s workshop, when I replace toilet cisterns, I always use the Base Low Level Cistern 4.5/3L Adjustable with Seat White (4 Star) from Reece. Features: Plastic cistern and flush buttons WELS 3 Star, 4L per minute Bottom inlet valve Includes Tasman Standard Seat Combining the best in functional and contemporary design, the Base Cistern is the economical choice for any bathroom style.

Thanks Darren!

I did another toilet cistern on Tuesday. The old one was a Fowler Tasman and the new one is a stylus allegro and they were both the exact same size and reused the screw holes. The old one had a leak with the parts being really old and there were no parts available with it so i replaced the whole thing. I also replaced the seat because the seat in the old one was discoloured same with the cistern.

I also use blue toilet rim blocks in cisterns to keep the toilet clean.

Thanks....I wasnt sure how to attach the pipe cover to the seat-lid....those rectangular washers etc.

Thanks

Why there is no video coverage on how to insert seals in pipe connecting cistern to pipe and pipe to pan . Why video editing at crucial point of interest ?

Oh thanks a lot of this! Can you please tell me where you got that toilet seat? I think I have the same old one that needs replacing.
