Toilet Repairs – FAQs

What causes a toilet to keep blocking?

Repeated blockages are often caused by a build-up of waste, excessive toilet paper, or items that shouldn’t be flushed, such as wipes or sanitary products. In some cases, the issue may sit deeper in the pipework or drainage system, especially in older properties or buildings with shared drains. If a blocked toilet keeps returning after clearing, it usually indicates an underlying problem that needs proper investigation rather than repeated temporary fixes.

Is an overflowing toilet an emergency?

An overflowing toilet should be treated as an urgent plumbing issue. Aside from the obvious mess, there is a real risk of water damage to floors and ceilings, as well as hygiene concerns. If this happens, turning off the water supply to the toilet can help limit damage until our plumbers arrive. Prompt attention helps prevent further disruption and reduces the likelihood of more extensive repairs.

Why is my toilet leaking from the base or cistern?

These leaks can develop for several reasons, including worn seals, loose connections, cracked components, or deteriorated internal parts. A leaking toilet may not always be obvious straight away, but even small leaks can cause damage to flooring, walls, or ceilings below if left unresolved. Identifying the source early allows repairs to be carried out before the problem escalates.

Do you provide toilet repairs for commercial properties?

Yes, Direct Plumbing carries out toilet repairs for both domestic and commercial properties. This includes pubs, restaurants, retail units, offices, and other commercial and industrial buildings where reliable facilities are essential.
