Thanks bro, I'm a plumber now
Brilliant. Happy to help. Stay safe 😀.
Subscribed ! :)
Life saving skill. Thanks for your useful step by step CZcams video.
@@contentandgrateful2985 No problem, glad it helped you out.😎
Love this😂 very british delivery in a slightly patronising humorous way. Thankyou!
And hopefully it all went ok. 😎
cheers mate took 5 minutes to do after watching, much appreciated.
Wow that’s quick, great job.
Just replaced my flush handle. With your help it was so easy. 😃 Big thanks for making it so easy. 👍🏻😃
Marvellous news. That’s saved the cost of paying someone to do it. Glad to help.😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides how much do you think it will cost if I get a plumber in as I can't do diy?
@@mparthur144 I would guess £60-£100 of it’s literally just the handle mechanism. If it’s the flushing mechanism then it will be more. Good luck.😎
@@LurgsHowToGuides I think it's the flushing mechanism ie. the balloon could move but the water was not flushing until the lever was pushed several times.
@@LurgsHowToGuides Thank you for your reply, BTW.
Thank you! Mine has just snapped off and my dads on holiday 🤣🤣🤣
Hope it all went ok. Dad will be pleased if you've fixed it. 😎

Thanks for this. The metal arm on my lever snapped this afternoon. Lots of calcium build up on the metal, I live in a hard water area. Got to go out and buy the right sized lever handle. Will try to fix myself - and save some dosh on a plumber! Hopefully!
Yeh may as well have a go.
Best bet is take old handle and mechanism off and take that with you so you can match it up and get one roughly the same size and shape, that will help
@@LurgsHowToGuides Yeah, that's what I'll attempt to do. First I've got to get through the hard calcium build up!
Thank you
Hope it all went ok 😎
Aww bless you, easy peasy, proper blokey/dad talk as well haha video was amusing 🙌🏽

Informative video and you're a funny guy 😀
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.😎
Needed to know how you fix it. You showed me that with a good laugh as well. Can't ask for more!
>< seriously, tea in the bathroom?. i had a feeling.i said to myself. but its a toilet. why would he?. oh well. lol. diy is always handy when size is a problem. well done on that.
I made sure the Health and Saftety team checked it all out before I drank my brew!
Cartooon THAT a
Thanks for this! What do I do if I've dropped the needle?
The needle? Can u see it in the cistern?
Great! Thank you for this video. Please where does B& Q stock the handle ?
They should have one, if not then Screwfix or Wickes. I’d take old one with you so you get one the same (good idea)
Thanks a bunch brother, for your timely info( valuable lskills). I was able to replace a faulty systern handle and the components. I thank God for you.
Great news. Glad it all worked out. Vaya Con Dios. 😎
Well gonna pay a visit to plumbing supply store in the morning. Lil wanders broke the handle.
Good luck with the install.
haha! good video... - :)
Thanks, hope it helped you out. 😎
On the bit where the nut fixes the rod,I've got a (sodding) metal pin that goes through the rod,fixing it in place , which is rusted solid(so I can't move the nut off) . Should I just try snapping the ends off the pin* , so it's as flush to the rod as possible,and then see if I can coax the nut over ?
*it's so close to the nut I might just have to file it 😬
Hard to tell what you mean, if it’s rusted you will probably have to get it off
Hi, got a dilemma with bath/shower fawcett. To run the bath the water mixes fine. If I were to use the shower the water only comes out increasingly 🔥. How do I fix this. Wanting to put on new thermostatic fawcett. In place.
I'm guessing it's one with the built in thermostats, I really don't like the, as they aren't very reliable. I prefer the old turning manually to mix the hot and cold to get the temp you want. Not sure how you install a new thermostat, hope you get it fixed. Good luck.
I thought I had the same issue but when I checked the cistern, it looked as if the pump was not working properly. I could still flush the toilet but had to push the lever several times for the toilet to flush.
How do you trim the metal bar inside if thats to long
You should be able to trim it down with a small hacksaw
The bottom of the metal hook came loose and I can't see how to put it back on? Has the plunger it was attached to dropped down too far? How do I get it back up?
Not sure systems vary. Can you not work it out from my video? I hope you can get it sorted
@@LurgsHowToGuides I was able to put a screw into it and pull it up with a bottle nosed pliers then reattach the hook. It's working fine again 👍
Am a single mom just learnt something new
Glad I could help out. 😎
I managed to somehow remove the metal link from the white plastic pillar which pulls up , abyone how how to reconnect the link to the white pillar???? It’s moved down and I can’t grab it
Doesn’t it just clip in to the nearest hole?
does anyone know how to fix a situation where the water in the toilet flush 'bowl' doesnt stop and it goes to the overflow pipe? its happening because when the 'big balloon' goes up with water the thing its supposed to 'touch' to stop water flow from the mains isnt working i think if i was to pad it so the gap between the two is less might help.. a video would help - sorry but i dont know the proper terms
If you lift the Cistern Ball with your hand when you flush the toilet does it stop the water filling up the cistern? If it does then it probably just needs adjusting so it shuts off the water at a lower height. If not then it's probably broken.
@@LurgsHowToGuides thanks for getting back - much appreciated.. do i need to buy the whole system or can i buy just that part that stops the water? - btw i dont think its adjustable i dont see any adjustable part.. i was thinking to either put another thing to reduce the space so it will press the stop valve early..
They normally are adjustable on a small screw, if not and it's on a metal rod you can literally bend the metal rod so the ball is lower and so it will shut off quicker. Be careful when you bend it.
the " hook " is called the " C link " throw the plastic lever in the bin, they are crap, use a
" BRASS CISTERN LEVER ARM LIFT / LEVER ARM FOR TOILET SYPHON / LINKS FLUSH, " other wise you will end up with same problem ,and use a brass or an " A4 stainless steel round head or cheese head set screw, unless you ra plumber who wants to come back later, to do this again, and again.
Hey idk why but my lever is loose like the one u pull feels loose
Have a look inside the cistern and maybe just tighten up the plastic nuts again.
Wow you know your stuff but oh my have you got a creepy voice
Ben Nickolls I'm hoping for a part in a new horror film. Happy to help. Have a great 2020
@@LurgsHowToGuides only joking mate happy 2020 you saved me a plumber call out this morning thankyou
Why do you keep telling me about completely unrelated videos? I am trying to watch your video on a flush and you keep ranting about your other complete irrelevent videos...?
I agree. One of my older vids, popular CZcams help channels said make sure you promote your other videos! But I agree if they are unrelated it's a bit pointless. I don't do it now. Hope vid was useful and please click this link to see how to build a rocket ship.👍🏻😆. Have a great weekend.
@@LurgsHowToGuides Hey thanks for the response. You did help me out and managed to fix my toilet...
Thank you
Shycco Ngare Glad to help. Hope you got it sorted.
