A toilet that's running constantly, leaking at the base or refusing to flush properly is one of those jobs that's easy to ignore — until it causes real damage or an eye-watering water bill. John sorts toilet problems across Stirling and Dunblane every week. Most repairs take under two hours.
Common toilet problems John fixes
Leaking Toilet
Water on the floor around the base is often a worn wax seal or loose connection. Left too long it damages the floor underneath.
Constantly Running / Refilling
Usually a faulty fill valve, float or flapper. Can add significantly to your water bill if left. Cheap fix once the cause is identified.
Weak Flush or Won't Flush
Often a worn syphon or faulty flush valve. John replaces cistern internals quickly and without fuss.
Toilet Overfilling
A ballcock or float that's stuck or worn out. Usually a straightforward repair — John carries the common parts.
Loose or Broken Handle
A handle that's snapped or come loose is an easy fix. John will replace it like-for-like or match as closely as possible.
Full Toilet Replacement
Old, cracked or just due for an upgrade — John supplies and fits new toilets, or fits customer-supplied units. Most close-coupled replacements take 2–4 hours.
What it typically costs
Most cistern repairs (replacing internals, fixing running toilets) take 1–1.5 hours at the standard hourly rate of £50 for the first hour and £40 after. Toilet replacements typically take 2–4 hours. Built-in or concealed cisterns take longer.
"John came round to replace our old toilet, had it fitted in no time at all and checked back the next day to make sure everything was still working. Very reasonably priced and extremely tidy."
— Gary, Stirling
