First-time poster and plumbing ignoramus, so please be kind....
I have a leaking toilet pan connector. The leak started when there was an old Multikwik connected.
I called a plumber and he tried a few different connectors and they all leaked. He said the spigot coming out of the toilet pan looks smaller than the standard diameter.
He eventually contained the leak by using putty around the spigot, but said it is only a temporary fix. He said the only permanent solution is to buy a completely new toilet suite so that I get the standard-sized spigot and everything connects properly.
Can this possibly be right? I've already spent £200 on trying to get the connector right, now I'm looking at several hundred pounds more, all to fix a tiny leak on the connector.
All suggestions very welcome.
