The toilet pan may be cracked or the waste trap seal on the S-bend has perished. We can send a technician around to check this out. Don’t forget water on the floor is a serious slip hazard.

Isn’t it going to be expensive to replace a toilet? We can supply and fit the latest standard, quality dual-flush toilet suite from $775.50. Here’s one we replaced recently in Modbury. The old unit used 12 litres of water per flush. Now it uses just 3.5 litres and ticks the boxes for eco-efficiency and cost saving.

Now I’m thinking about it, there has also been a sound of water trickling into the toilet in the ensuite. What’s this? Sounds like the cistern needs attention. Leaks like this can easily increase your daily water use by 250 litres and yet it’s an easy fix for our plumbers.

What else should I be thinking of? A cracked toilet seat is a health hazard. We can supply and install a soft-close, quick-release seat from $210. It will bring a touch of luxury to your bathroom.
