Our Specialist Toilet Repair Services


We offer a full range of diagnostic and repair services for all toilet issues, establishing our Expertise in all toilet components:


Cistern Leak & Running Water Fixes


We are experts in diagnosing the internal issues that cause leaks, constant running, and slow refills:

  • Float Valve / Ballcock Replacement: Fixing continuous running water and cistern overflowing caused by a faulty ballcock or fill valve.
  • Flush Mechanism Repair: Addressing leaks or sticking caused by a faulty syphon (in older toilets) or a damaged flush valve (in modern push-button toilets).
  • Worn Seal & Washer Replacement: Resolving quiet leaks caused by a deteriorated doughnut washer (pan-to-cistern seal) or a worn flush seal at the base of the cistern.
  • Water Overflow Repair: Immediate replacement of the valve to prevent water escaping through the overflow pipe.


Full Toilet Replacement & Installation


If repair is not cost-effective, or you are simply upgrading then we can provide installation of new close-coupled toilets, back-to-wall units, or wall-hung frames or complete bathroom renovation.

Case Study:  Stop Running Water in Tettenhall (WV6)

The Problem: A homeowner in Tettenhall, WV6, reported a constant trickling sound and noticed their toilet cistern was refilling frequently, leading to excessive water waste and noise.

The Diagnosis: Engineer Dave quickly identified the fault as a completely seized-up float valve (ballcock) that had failed to shut off the water supply once the cistern was full.

The Solution: The old unit was removed and replaced with a modern, quiet, and highly efficient fill valve (ballcock replacement) from local Wolverhampton stock.

The Result: The continuous running water was instantly stopped, saving the customer an estimated 300-400 litres of water per day. The repair was completed in under an hour, guaranteed by our 12-month warranty.



Frequently asked questions - FAQ's


  • Why is my toilet running constantly, and what is a ballcock?

    Constant running is almost always a sign that the inlet valve isn't shutting off the water supply. 


    The Ballcock (also known as a Float Valve or Fill Valve) is the mechanism in the cistern that uses a float to monitor the water level. 


    When it fails, it causes water to either run continuously into the pan or escape via the overflow pipe. We specialise in its quick replacement.

  • I have a push-button toilet, not a float ball. What causes that to leak?

    Modern push-button toilets use a Flush Valve instead of a syphon. Leaks here are typically caused by a perished rubber seal at the base of this valve. 


    We carry replacement flush seals and can easily install a new, efficient valve to stop the internal leak

  • Is a slow toilet refill a sign of a problem?

    Yes, a very slow refill usually means the fill valve is partially blocked, often by limescale or mineral deposits common in hard water areas. We can often clean or replace the valve to restore full water pressure and a fast, proper flush.
