FAQs
What causes a toilet cistern to keep dripping or running?
A constantly dripping cistern is usually due to a worn-out fill valve, faulty flush valve seal, or debris lodged under the flapper. Hard water in Bristol can accelerate mineral build-up on these parts. Replacing the defective components or upgrading to modern, water-efficient valves typically resolves the issue.
How quickly can you attend a dripping cistern in the Bristol area?
For emergencies we aim to reach most Bristol postcodes within 2 hours. Non-urgent appointments can usually be booked for the same or next working day. Our local engineers carry common replacement parts on the van to complete repairs in a single visit whenever possible.
Is it better to repair my old toilet or replace it?
If your cistern has multiple failing parts, hairline cracks, or predates current water-saving standards, a replacement may be more cost-effective long-term. New dual-flush toilets can cut water use by up to 50 %, lowering household bills. We offer a free site inspection in Bristol to compare repair costs with upgrade options so you can make an informed decision.
How much does a toilet upgrade or full replacement cost in Bristol?
Prices vary with the style chosen and any pipework alterations needed. As a guide, a like-for-like close-coupled toilet replacement starts around £250 including labour and disposal of the old unit. Premium rimless or wall-hung models can range from £450–£750. We provide fixed written quotes with no hidden extras.
Will you dispose of my old toilet and cistern responsibly?
Yes. We remove and recycle all old porcelain and plastic components in accordance with Bristol City Council waste regulations. Any parts that can’t be recycled are disposed of at licensed facilities, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Do you offer guarantees on repairs and new toilet installations?
Absolutely. All repair work on cistern components comes with a 12-month parts and labour warranty. Complete toilet replacements carry a 2-year installation guarantee plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the suite itself, giving you peace of mind.
