Hearing Your Toilet Run At Night?
A toilet that keeps running or hisses between flushes is wasting water. Either the inlet valve is not shutting off, so the cistern tops up and dumps down the overflow, or the flush valve seal has hardened and lets water creep into the pan.
There is a quick test for the silent version. Put a few drops of food dye in the cistern, leave it twenty minutes and do not flush. If colour appears in the pan, the flush valve seal is leaking.
The visible faults: a weak flush that needs a second go. Water on the floor after every flush, which usually points to a failed pan connector. A pan that rocks when you sit on it, which works that connector loose.

For a running toilet we isolate the water, pull the cistern apart and look at the whole mechanism. Worn inlet valve, perished flush valve seal, a float at the wrong height, or grit holding the valve open. Usually it is new internals.
A leak at the base is a different repair. We lift the pan, clean back the old pan connector, check the pan for cracks, then reset it on a fresh connector and fix it down so it cannot rock again.
We also install new toilets. Swapping an old single flush suite for a dual flush cuts the water you use on every flush. We check the set-out first and take the old suite away. See our bathroom renovation plumbing.

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Toilet Repair FAQs
Use food dye. Take the cistern lid off, add a few drops to the water, then leave the toilet alone for twenty minutes without flushing. Any colour in the pan means water is passing the flush valve seal and running away continuously.
Most often the pan connector has failed, so water escapes at floor level each flush. It is usually caused by a pan that rocks, which works the seal apart. The fix is to lift the pan, fit a new connector and fix it down properly.
A plunger only works on a soft blockage sitting in the trap of the pan. It will not shift a solid object or roots in the sewer. Stop flushing. If other fixtures are gurgling at the same time, it is a blocked drain.
Most toilets are worth repairing. Cistern internals, seals and pan connectors are all replaceable parts. Replacement makes sense when the pan or cistern is cracked, the suite is old enough that parts are no longer made, or you want to move to dual flush.
A weak flush is usually the cistern not filling to the right level, a flush valve not opening fully, or blocked rim holes in the pan. Slow refilling normally comes back to the inlet valve, often partly blocked with grit or scale.
