Toilet Cistern
Elderly relative has a brown (Ugh) bathroom suite. The toilet cistern has
cracked due to fitting a tight new flushing lever. Any ideas if a brown replacement might be available? (Close coupled) Any ideas on how to stop if weeping through the crack? -- Regards John --- All of my outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Can you stop it leaking simply by adjusting the ball valve to lower the water level? -- Cheers, Set Square ______ Please reply to newsgroup. Reply address is invalid. |

Go and talk to your local branch of Travis Perkins. Normally cisterns
are BS colours and small runs of these colours are available for replacement purposes. The cost is normally £100, which I regard as reasonable for a 1 off item. Regards Capitol |

I've just replaced a brown 1980's Bathroom suite, and still have the cistern in the shed. Bit scaled inside though! |
