    Leak on toilet inlet with new fill valve

    I've fitted a new fill valve on my toilet as the old one stopped working properly. In fitting the new one I've found the copper pipe that feeds the inlet isn't quiet straight and so pulls the valve on a slight angle. As the new valve isn't sitting flat in the bottom of the tank so the rubber...

    Hi all, Just fitted a new bath (height fixed due to bath panel).

    Leaking cistern inlet

    Small leak from water inlet to cistern. Water appears to be coming from the cistern rather than from the coupling I think. See attached photo. This is a new build just two years old so I am surprised that it can fail so quickly. Does it need a new cistern inlet valve, and, if so is it easy to...
