The Problem
A family in Ashfield contacted Swan’s Professional Plumbing because the toilet at an elderly parent’s house was leaking intermittently, the hardest kind of fault to pin down. The kitchen taps were dripping too.
Our Solution
We gave three repair options and the customer chose the recommended one.
We then:
- Completely rebuilt the cistern with a new inlet valve, outlet valve, flexi hose, bolster and foam washer
- Fitted a new shower hose
- Fitted new washers in the kitchen taps
The kitchen taps are the honest part of this story. When we dismantled them, we found a previous plumber had fitted a plastic seat that can’t be machined. So we fitted new washers and told the customer straight: the taps may still drip, and the permanent fix is replacing the wall breech.
The Result
The toilet was fully rebuilt and the leak fixed. The total cost of the job was $1,134.10 including GST.
We’d rather explain the limits of a repair on the day than have a customer think a repair failed. You can see more examples in our toilet repair cost guide.
