How To Fix a Leaky toilet - Part 2


So The waters turned off . By the way if theres one of those small taps on the wall by the toilet (as in the photo above)
don't trust it , in my experience they normally leak. Turn the water off at the main stopcock !




Toilet Repair Step 2 Flush the toilet – this empties the cistern (well about 98 % anyway)

Toilet Repair Step 3 Unscrew the old flush mechanism actuator so that you can take the lid off the cistern.


Toilet Repair Step 4 Disconnect the flexible pipe from the float mechanism on the side of the cistern ( 17mm spanner) and then remove the float mechanism from the cistern (19mm spanner )

Toilet Repair Step 5 Use the old towel or rags to absorb the last of the water left in the toilet cistern. (see photo)


Toilet Repair Step 6 Undo the Plastic wing-nuts which connect the cistern to the pan and lift the cistern free.
