& how much would you charge him to put it in for him ?£36......
I can get a fluid master for £10!!! what a rip off
Have you had a look at the post 9 on this thread the web site sells the spare washers as well as the valves ? or is the one shown not yours?Interesting thread but as has been pointed out each to their own. To explain my logic as a DIY kinda of chap, the time and cost saving are the issues. Sure maybe you can get better parts and fit within an hour (something normally happens to make it longer) but this is a simple a quick replace.
As I would have to remove the cistern, I would then have to turn off the water etc as there is no lock out, take off the sealant, fiddle for a while with the cistern, replace parts, reseal etc = more time+more cost.
The image below shows what I mean, I am sure for a competent plumber it would be quick and easy, but for myself it would take much longer than changing a diaphragm. I spent 30 mins on line and potentially have saved £60-70 - well worth it.
Thanks for all the replies
