Toilet Cistern Replacement Tips

Here are a few clues that might mean it’s time to replace your cistern. As always, get a professional in to give you a second opinion before you make any drastic changes.

How old is your cistern?

Toilets can last for 50 years if you look after them properly. Unfortunately, your toilet probably won’t make it that far without a bit of extra attention. Most toilets will go through a bit of maintenance every few years.

How often do you experience toilet troubles?

There’s a difference between general maintenance and constant toilet troubles.

If your toilet constantly needs repairs, it might be worth replacing the entire cistern. If your problems are more sporadic, you might only need replacement parts to repair your loo. 

Either way, talk to a professional plumber and get their opinion before you replace anything. You can find whole cisterns and replacement parts online in our store.
