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.

Most toilet faults come down to a handful of parts inside the cistern. MLC Plumbing works out which one has failed, replaces it, and checks the connector and isolation tap while the cistern is open — rather than replacing a suite that only needed a valve.
Thornlie properties often combine established plumbing, busy family bathrooms and rental maintenance needs. That means small faults can become costly if they are left too long, especially dripping taps, running toilets and slow drains. Locally that means busy family bathrooms and rental fixtures make early repairs worthwhile before small faults become disruptive.
The same job across the rest of the service area is covered on our toilet repairs page, including what a visit involves and what it usually costs.
