Toilet, tap and basin repairs in Edinburgh
How to get an accurate quote in Edinburgh
Short answer: A cistern that never stops filling or a tap that drips all night wastes water and, in a flat, can end up as a damp patch below. Tell us the make if you can see it, whether it is a push-button or lever flush, and whether you want it repaired or replaced, so the quotes cover the same job.

Questions about this plumbing request
Is a constantly running toilet worth repairing quickly?
Yes. A continuously running cistern can waste water and may worsen if a valve or internal component is failing. Include the toilet type and whether the flow stops when isolated.
Should I buy a replacement tap before requesting a plumber?
Only if you already know what you want and that it is compatible. Otherwise ask whether the provider can supply the fitting and make sure the quote says who supplies parts, whether disposal is included and whether VAT applies.
