Why do the simplest jobs turn into a blood pressure raising swearing fest!
OH noticed the toilet in the ensuite was dripping water from the connector to the main soil pipe earlier in the week. So I did some reading and thought ' does not appear to bad, the refitting of the toilet to the connector appears a bit problematic but with care should be ok'
Cut to this afternoon around 1700. I was about ready to launch the cistern out of the bathroom window.
Can any of you plumber types let me know if there is some magic trick to getting the toilet lined up with the pan connector?
It is a new connector, of the same type as was fitted (MX01). I have done the appropriate lubrication in the pipe (as per instructions) and lubricated the pan connecter onto the toilet with fairy liquid (thank you internet and a vaguely rememebered instruction from my dad many moons ago). Short of using a laser level I cannot think of any way of sliding the damn thing in any more accurately and I still get the drip, drip of leaking water.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully be recieved. Failing that anyone know a reliable plumber in the Fareham Hampshire area?
Out of interest how much would this have cost me up front to have a professional come in and do it?
I would actually like to do it properly rather than bodge it with silicone sealer or other such methods.
