Why does my toilet keep running after a flush?
Usually the inlet valve not shutting off, or the outlet valve seal not sealing. Both are common parts and both are generally a straightforward repair rather than a new suite.

What Is Involved
Toilet Repairs help in Harrisdale
Whether the trouble sits in the toilet or in the drain line changes the job entirely. If other fixtures are slow as well, the line is the suspect; if it is only the pan, it is usually the trap or the outlet. MLC Plumbing works that out before quoting a fix.
Harrisdale homes often have multiple bathrooms, gas appliances, outdoor entertaining areas and higher hot water demand. Even newer fixtures need attention when valves, mixers or drains start showing wear. Locally that means modern homes can still need prompt attention when mixers, toilets, gas appliances or hot water units start failing.

Signs your toilet needs a look
- Bad smells, slow clearing or repeated blockages
- A button or handle that sticks or has to be held down
- A faint hiss from the cistern between flushes
- A pan that rocks slightly when you sit on it
What usually fails
- Foreign objects or too much paper causing blockages
- A cistern no longer filling to the right water level
- A cistern outlet seal that has hardened with age
- A blockage further down the drain rather than in the toilet itself
How We Help
What MLC Plumbing can help with
- Replace the common toilet parts, which are usually carried on the van
- Say when replacing the fixture beats buying more parts for it
- Check the connector and the isolation tap while the cistern is open
- Check the pan is secure and the seal is sound while access is open

Good to Know
Toilet Repairs questions, answered
Is a blocked toilet a toilet problem or a drain problem?
Either. If other fixtures are slow as well, the drain line is the likely culprit. If it is only the toilet, it is usually the pan or the trap.
The toilet is the only one in the house. Can it be done today?
Where the day allows it, yes — a single-toilet household is treated as urgent. Same-day attendance depends on availability, so call early and you will be told honestly what is possible.
Who actually turns up in Harrisdale?
The plumber you spoke to on the phone. MLC Plumbing is not a call centre passing jobs to subcontractors, which is why the price quoted is the price by the person doing the work.
