How to FIX a Toilet that is constantly flushing (push button WC)

Hi, if your toilet flush valve is similar to the one shown in the video then you will see how easy they are to replace if your toilet is constantly flushing. If you only have a small amount of water letting by into the bowl then you may just have a bit of debris which can be easily cleaned, or it is easy to replace the rubber washer. My one in the video, must have been caused by scale build up from the hard water inside the flush valve so it was easier for me to just to replace it for under £10.
Many thanks Vince.

IMPORTANT! ive just had this problem and it was as simple as the button being twisted and misaligned causing it to get stuck. Simply unscrew the button and twist it until the plastic is aligned. It was that simple. Check this first. Please like to get this seen.

Can I just say how SUPER helpful this video was for me. I hardly have any plumbing experience whatsoever and my toilet was constantly flushing and just really irritating to deal with. Then I came across this video and it was PERFECT - not only were the dual flushing valves exactly the same as mine, but your steps were really clear and not details were missed out. I followed this video step by step and replaced the valve as recommended - and it works!!! So a HUGE thank you - it really helped me out & made my day!

Thank you so much for posting this - it took me less than 5 minutes to fix my toilet and saved me nearly a £100 as I didn't have to call a pluber out. Much appreciated!

You're an absolute hero mate. You didn't rush, and explained everything so very clearly and didn't assume we already understood what you were saying. I followed your video exactly and now my leaky loo isn't so leaky haha. Subscribed

I have the exact same problem-have had no problems with cistern in over 10 years. Thought it was a complicated issue replacing-thanks to your film I realise there’s less to it than an old style cistern. When I inspected the unit it was a Macdee the same as yours. Thanks for enlightening me!

This tutorial works. I fixed mine by cleaning the limescale under the tab. It took me only 1 min.

The problem mine had was with the lever that you pushed in at 2:11. It was getting stuck, and that meant that the valve wasn't dropping down again as it should. It is easy to dismantle the part that houses the lever - you just have to unscrew one screw - and then I cleaned off a small amount of limescale that was causing the lever to stick against the outside of the housing, following which it worked perfectly.

I just solved my toilet constantly flushing issue by watching this video in 2 hours time instead of two days waiting for service ..thanks buddy...

Thank you so much for making this video! As someone who loves fixing and doing DIY before spending money on a tradesman, these steps were easy to follow and saved me a whole lot of money. Thanks again

Cheers. Simple explanation gave me the confidence to tackle the job myself. I'm not great at most DIY stuff but I'd go as far as to say, this was an easy job.

I came here for the electronic repairs - but now have managed to fix my toilet also with the same issue!
Fantastic - thanks for the video.

Vince, thanks so much for this! Completely new task for me but With your help, I've taken apart the cistern, soaked the lot for a couple of hours in white vinegar and replaced it all. Working perfectly. Delighted.

Thanks for the double jab to stop it endlessly flushing -- wasting a huge amount of water -- while I figure out the rest. Hoping that a soaking of the valve in white vinegar (like a success reported below) will save me having to replace anything! Worth a try, at least.

Thank you, I've just fixed mine.
I had no idea how to release the mechanism from the button until I saw your video. I just had to remove some debris from inside the box that the cable comes from.

[illbeback]

Thank you! Got the same model. You've helped this woman fix the loo 👍

I’d just like to take the time and say thank you, for one year our toilet was doing this. But you had to put your hand down and manually push the cut off. Plumbers told me I had to remove the whole toilet to change it. Till I found your video. Thanks again mate. I’ve just fixed mine. It’s changed our life’s ahahaha

[rockeysingh]

Hi Vince many thanks for your very easy to understand instructions. You have presented your guidance instructions in a very simple clear and easy to understand manner. Thanks and keep well.

Great video, i put in a bleach toilet block in my cistern-it said dont unwrap it as the paper dissolves, well it didnt, some paper jammed up the valve. This video gave me confidence to have a go myself, thank you. ps.Your tank fills so fast! Amazing water pressure in your area.

Just what I needed with a family of five, saved me having to remove whole concealed unit. THANK YOU!
