A leaking or broken toilet isn’t just inconvenient – it can potentially cause a great deal of water damage to your home or business. Fortunately, our expert plumbing teams can repair or replace your toilet as part of our service.
Common problems with toilets are a broken float or ball valve that mean the cistern fills up slowly or incorrectly, or it fails to shut off the water supply causing an overflow – while a broken siphon can prevent the toilet from flushing properly.

Toilet Repair and Replacement FAQs
How much does a plumber cost to fix a toilet in the UK?
The cost of repairing or replacing a toilet depends on the nature of the issue and the condition of the toilet. Minor repairs, such as fixing a faulty flush mechanism or replacing a leaking seal, are typically quick and affordable. If your toilet is older, has persistent issues, or has significant damage like cracks in the bowl or base, replacing it might be more cost-effective. A new toilet can also improve water efficiency and overall performance. Plumbing services in the UK are generally charged on an hourly basis, and the total cost will depend on the complexity of the job.

Can you replace just the cistern on a toilet?
Yes, it is possible to replace just the cistern on a toilet, as long as it is compatible with the existing toilet pan. This solution can be practical and cost-effective if the cistern is damaged, but the rest of the toilet is still in good condition. Matching the replacement cistern to the make and model of your current toilet is essential to ensure proper compatibility.
Why is the push button on my toilet not working?
A non-functioning push button is often caused by a mechanical issue inside the cistern. Common reasons include a disconnected linkage, a stuck or jammed button, a faulty flush valve, or low water levels. Over time, wear and limescale buildup can also interfere with the button’s functionality. You can begin by inspecting the cistern for obvious problems, cleaning the button, and ensuring all connections are intact. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may require professional attention. Our team can diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution. You can reach us at 0808 250 9949 to discuss your needs.
How long does it take a plumber to fit a new toilet?
Fitting a new toilet usually takes between two and four hours. This timeframe may vary depending on the removal of the old toilet, the condition of the existing plumbing, and whether any adjustments or repairs are needed. A straightforward replacement tends to be quicker, while unforeseen complications can extend the installation process. Our experienced plumbers ensure efficient and high-quality installations tailored to your requirements.
Do replacement toilet seats fit all toilets?
Replacement toilet seats are designed to fit most standard toilets but are not universally compatible. Toilet seats generally come in two shapes, round or elongated, and it is essential to choose one that matches your toilet’s shape and size. Measuring the distance between the fixing holes, known as the centre-to-centre measurement, is also crucial to ensure a proper fit. Some toilet models may require specific seat types, so consulting the manufacturer’s information can be helpful. If you need assistance finding a compatible replacement seat, our team at Metro Plumb is here to help. Find your local plumber or call us on 0808 250 9949 for further guidance.
