How does a bathroom refit work, from strip-out to sealant?
The order of work in a bathroom refit: strip-out, first fix, waterproofing, electrical zones, extractor fans, tiling, second fix and sealant.
Emir Handyman repairs and replaces toilets across Thurrock, south Essex and east London: running cisterns, broken flushes, fill valves, loose seats and full toilet replacements. Send a photo of the toilet and a short video of the problem on WhatsApp for a free estimate.
A toilet that keeps running usually has a worn flush valve seal or a fill valve set too high. Lifting the cistern lid and filming it helps show which.
Before you buy, measure from the wall to the centre of the waste pipe and check whether your toilet is close-coupled, back-to-wall or wall-hung, so the new one suits the pipework.

A toilet that keeps running usually has a worn seal on the flush valve, letting water trickle into the pan, or a fill valve set too high, so water spills into the overflow. Both are common repairs. Send Emir Handyman a short video with the cistern lid off.
