Toilet syphon and close-coupling repair in Glenfield
AFS returned to a Glenfield customer after an ageing toilet syphon, identified during an earlier fill-valve repair, deteriorated further.
What AFS did
Diagnosis and repair
We replaced the syphon together with the close-coupling bolts, metal plate and sealing washers rather than leaving worn parts in place. The toilet was reassembled, flushed repeatedly and checked for leaks.
Useful guidance
What to watch for
A toilet that is difficult to flush, continuously running or leaking between the cistern and pan may need more than one internal part. Replacing worn seals and fixings while the cistern is already removed can avoid another repair visit.
