Hi Amazing video, mine has been repeatly filling for a while and i was dreading opening it up as the bathroom fitters has completed tiled in , no access apart from the flushing buttton and when i moved the pan . all stripped down and took locally to get the new washers the whole system while out and stripped down, but no local suppliers havent seen my system before WDI and wont sell me the washer/seal separartly , where can i buy this from ?
PERFECT! Stopped instantly on turning the screw - could’ve saved myself six weeks of wasted water if only I’d found this tip earlier 😊👍🏼
Love the video. I'm an odd job man, (not a plumber or electrician) and get asked to fix loads of things around offices and I'm expected to be able to fix everything. You saved me a load of headaches to simply fix this toilet and they think I'm a magician! I wish all the 'fix it' videos were so to the point, I just want a fast honest clear explanation so I can get on, do the job and get onto fixing the next thing. I fixed my own toilet in 30 seconds which has been running for 2 or 3 years because I was too busy and it looked too complicated for me to bother with until I was forced to research how to fix one for a client!! Many thanks.
After 2 weeks of toilet running all day and night I watched this and fixed it in seconds🤦🤦 thanks for a great video. Well explained and easy to follow 👍
I’ve just flushed the toilet in my new place at 1:00am and this happens. I tried the first tip and it worked! Thank you, you’re a lifesaver!
Yay! 😎
Thank you so much James 😊 my toilet has finally stopped trickling and its all thanks to you👍👍👍 subscribed
Thank you, James! This is just what I needed to know. You are a great teacher!
Thanks for this! I have watched several videos about over-filling loos tonight, and so far yours was the only one to suggest tightening the valve under the loo which appears to have done the trick! I must have unknowingly loosened it when I recently did some deep cleaning round the back of the loo!
Also, thanks for having such a straightforward, fluent and clear video to watch. There are so many out there done with wonky phones or cameras, it drives me nuts trying to get any info out of them when I'm already pissed off and frustrated by something thats broken.
Hi James, Brilliant clear demonstration of how to fix trickling after flush. Keep it real!
Great video thanks. Your first tip worked for me. Our flush was running for about 10 mins after pressing. I tighten the valve slightly and this seems to have solved it. The cistern takes approximately 20 seconds longer to fill but it's far better than the flush continuing 10 minutes later!
Oh my god, as a single gal with a mortgage, no spare cash or family nearby to help, this video has saved my ass! Thank you so much. I adjusted the valve under the toilet itself (rather than mess with anything in the cistern) and it worked instantly. I’m SO relieved. Thanks again - totally grateful to you.
I've very happy to hear that! Well done...pat yourself on the back/have a pint!
Great explanation and helped me solve my never ending dual flush trickle. Reversed the seal and applied a little Vaseline, adjusted the float and stopped back the isolator valve a bit.
Just had this happen to me for the first time and i called the first plumber i found, he told me i had to replace my entire toilet! i said he was having a laugh!
Thank god i found your video, only had something stuck under the rim. cheers mate!
Great tip about simply reducing the water inlet pressure a touch. Worked a treat for me! Cheers!
I never thought I could enjoy a video teaching plumbing so much that after I identified the problem, fixed my flusher (thanks to you), I came back and watched the rest of the video simply to watch it and learn more.
If there was ever a sign of extraordinary teaching abilities, that would be it.
Speaking of signs, does the one one the radiator say "Never Mind The Ballcocks"?
Fixed my toilet! Thank you so much. My springy outlet hole valve thingy wasn't springy, so I added a DIY spring to make it shut after flushing. Your video explained how it worked, so this helped me bodge it.
Job done. Slight nick on rubber would have never found this out without this tutorial. Great job saved me a ton of work (been driving us mad for weeks)
Fantastic video mate, very clear and easy to understand, saved me from calling out a plumber during the festive month have a wonderful Christmas and New year mate.
Thanks plumberparts! Problem was exactly as you outlined. Bit of plastic from those toilet blue got jammed in the plunger seal. Cleared that and presto, problem solved. Though the connecting steel hose from the mains to the cistern also decided to give way at the same time. Had to change that as well. So aside from a strained back from all the bending over, everything is good. Thanks again!
Brilliant thank mate your always straight to the point with the simple troubleshooting first. Thanks so much.
Brilliant! Thanks for taking the time to post this!
Really helpful. Covered all the possible reasons for the constant flow - including and it was a piece of lime grout beneath the seal
So useful. Thank you for these videos, I'm just starting to get myself trained and these give some much needed context I can refer my learning to
Amazing. I grabbed a screwdriver, followed the instructions and hey presto, problem solved. Thank you so much!
Right on man, keep it up! Fun to watch, informative and clear
Bradley Cooper. Truly a multi talented individual
Excellent vid mate. No BS and presented like a pro with lots of energy. Wish all youtube vids were like this.
+SSuperCuriouss Cheers fella! Hoipe you subbed!
Sub here please>> czcams.com/users/plumberparts
Worthy sub, absolutely solved my problem, I’m by no means a handyman and would never have thought of checking the washer, nice one fella, very appreciated
Awesome James - with the help of your fab video I’ve just fixed my running toilet...THANK YOU!!👍😊🙃
Thanks mate. Took out WC while renovating house.
Water running straight into pan , cistern not filling.
Took your tip about washer not seating.
Noticed the washer was curling upwards slightly. Took it off turned it upside down. Mow curling slightly downward.
Fully sealing .
Thanks mate.
Really helpful.
👍👍👍👍
Very good video. Very helpful. Thank you
Good tips, love the energy, good lad, its simple but mostly people dont even think to fix whats there, they just replace and pay more than required, experience and knowledge are valued, many thanks 🎉👍👍
Good video. I replaced the full flush and still had the same problem then worked out the water was escaping UNDER the flush system. I hadn't tightened the big plastic nut underneath the cistern tight enough. Once I did this it's perfect.
Still like the video and the way you've explained all the components - and love your little test system in the shed!
Thank you. Your advice to half close the valve worked perfectly. Stress over. What a great video
Excellent video, solved my problem in 20 mins by simply cleaning a tiny bit of scale from the rubber at the base of the large tube that should normally seal - it was hard to twist off the tube in the first place and the plastic seems so brittle it seems likely to break forcing it off when twisting the tube anti-clockwise - maybe I was using the wrong technique getting the tube off to get to the seal attached to the bottom of the tube to clean it.
Brilliant, thank you. I've recently had new toilets fitted and the problem you described on here are what's happening to my cloakroom cystern. Hopefully i'll be able to fix the problem. As a diy er, i've never had to deal with these more modern systems. Thanks again
"No wee-wees or poo-poos" Hahahaha - another great video buddy, cheers man, much appreciated
Brilliant thanks for your straight to the point videos hitting the simpler troubleshooting steps first.
Cheers Geoff! Hope it helped - Still uploading today!

Showed this to the missis she was able to fix it and finish off my dinner well done 👍
One of the best video’s on the subject, thanks!
Brilliant, thank you! You saved me replacing the entire valve, I just needed to adjust the float that was too high!
Thank you so much. I watched your video and with a simple tweak I fixed the problem. An invaluable CZcams if you're somebody like me who hasn't a clue about DIY or plumbing.
Great information. Another idea if you don't want to take it all apart first . I got a paint brush and ran it around the base of the unit pressing the flush constantly(low level water still in the unit). This action dislodged the muck from the seal area. Now fully working again. Thank you for the help and information.
Awesome. Bit of cistern block got stuck in the plunger. Fixed in seconds thanks to you. Cheers.
Thank you....very well explained
Fixed my toilet in under 10 mins. Combination of too fast inflow so not shutting off and also the float was too high so water was always going into the overflow. Thank you!
James, thanks for the advice on the video. Nice style and presentation (like the ronsil ads of old). Managed to stop my toliet trickling too. As you said, check the water pipe serving the cyctern and adjusted it. 6 flushes later and still good. phew!
Just had it happen to me followed your advice and fixed it, thanks so much mate great video so helpful
No worries dude, so glad to still be helping people out on this video! BTW I'm still uploading AND have a VLOG CHANNEL called TimesWithJames. Subscribe here👉 czcams.com/users/TimesWithJames
Moved the isolating valve from 6 o’clock to 10 past eight. Job done.
Seven years later ! Thanks for your great advice , managed to fix my loo today . I am a very happy bunny !
mate your a legend .useful info saved me about three hours work .thanks mate
You ROCK! Simple fix! Thanks for the walk-through!
Finally, a video that helped me... Thank you!
Thank you for explaining things. I confirmed its not the part you demoed today, I did clean up. I needed to get the floater part and its working in great shape. Brand new toilets throughout the house, purchased from Costco and this goes bad. The part cost $10.46. So i'm good with it and not waiting for the warrantee to send me a replacement part and having the same issue in a year to 2.
Bloody love this video, just fitted my first toilet following your stuff, was running once fitted have watched 5 videos until I watched this one... Should have known to come here first! didn't adjust anything properly, thanks for the thorough explanation.
Any chance you could do a tutorial on digital showers being fitted coming directly out of the ceiling?
That first tip nipped it right in the bud! Thanks so much for the no fluff video. That running noise was doing my head right in! ;)
really helpful stuff - fixed my problem after watching just 4 minutes (removed some grit)! THANKS
Thank you. Just solved my problem of water continuously going through the toilet! Found the unit had stuck in the up position. So one working toilet! Thx
Wow!! thanks for the tip about reducing inlet water pressure. Solved the problem . Thank you!!!
Excellent. I tried the first thing you suggested, which was tightening the valve.....and it worked. Thank you
Thank you so much!! Saved me calling plumber out 👍👍👍
Many thanks for this video. Out loo started doing this and I've fixed it for zero cost.
I followed the advice at 3:42 of the video: I ran my fingers round the bottom of the unit with it still in situ and I repaired the fault. Total cost of the fix: wet fingers! Brilliant video.
Many thanks for your helpful video. It worked a treat.
Thank you very much for this video! I managed to fix the toilet myself because of it without calling out a plumber, and couldn't believe how simple it was. I've now moved my cistern block further away so it doesn't get trapped again - oops!
Brilliant. 2second fix and full bragging rights, thank you.
Thanks. Worked well...
Brilliant! The lid had come off the flusher and was blocking the valve coming down - thanks so much.
You nailed it thanks really helpful!
I told my husband the toilet problem. And he got worried that that'll cost so much fr a plumber. After he left I saw your video and that's it! It was indeed a quick fix. My worries gone. His too.. hahaha. Thank you so much James!! 💜💜
Thanks very much for that.! Looked at a few videos before yours and not one mentioned tightening part behind the toilet. Thanks again 👍
Fantastic! solved my plumbing problem in less than 2 mins. Very much appreciated 😊
No worries Stacy!

Absolutely brilliant mate. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip, I reduced the filling rate and it worked.👍
This helped me a lot, thanks!!
thanks James! a slight turn away from fully open with the screwdriver and its sorted!! thank you!!!!!
Thanks so much, my toilet has been constantly dripping. Due to a label the had lodge itself under the large rubber seal. I didn’t know how it came apart until this video. Mines not the same as the one demoed but the same principle.
All sorted, thanks for advice
Excellent videos, learning loads thank you !! Keep up the good work ☺
No worries!
HI James if i have got your name right again this vid another life saver last time spoke to you i was installing
this new suit over flow has started to flush in the last few days first time ever,noted your main points will check the valve flow first.today.My best to your family mate.bob uk.
Loving the plastic tub vids so much easier to see whats going on than trying to see in the dark in someones grotty old cistern keep up the good work
No worries Charlie!
Thanks 🙏 it’s 6am I’ve finished 2 bottles of wine and I’ve decided to fix the toilet, seems easy
Thank you! This was really helpful 🙏
Good stuff, I just turned the seal upside down & also seemed to be having an issue with my button which is screw on & was very lose, sorting the 2 out fixed it & saved a £60 plumber fee with no doubt an extra rip off on parts. Cheers pal,
Brilliant, thank you. The problem was one of those tablets that you put in the cistern. It hadn't dissolved properly and slid under the plunger.
Thanks for your all your tips
Thanks mate , worked a treat by turning the water off half way to allow it to fill up 👍🏻
Thank you, it was so easy of you to explain the toilet cistern
Cheers, mate! I just had to faff with the paddle bit ti clear out some rubbish that was stopping it from closing. Winner.
Brilliant video thanks
Thank you so much you are a life saver :) you are a great human being!
Very useful, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have had this problem at a flat that is rarely used and due to the build up of calcium in the pipes when the water is turned on again, the flush is obstructed. You described the problem and the solutions very well.
Cheers mate. No worries!
You have just saved us! I had my hand in the loo with water gushing out like in the movies! we've just moved into a new place and we don't know where the main water tap is so we were in a big panic. our loo was having this exact problem and we have fixed it now - thank you so much! I feel I have learnt a lot!
No worries Louise!
