Toilet Repair in Kensington — questions
My toilet in Kensington keeps running. Is that a repair or a replacement?
A repair, in almost every case. Constant running is a failed flapper, flush seal or fill valve inside the cistern — components designed to be replaced. Replacement is only for a cracked bowl or cistern. If your Kensington home's other fixtures also drain slowly, the diagnosis checks the drain line as well, because that points away from the toilet itself.
What does toilet repair in Kensington cost?
The price depends on the factors listed on this page — the work involved, the parts required, and access at your Kensington property. It is confirmed after diagnosis and before any work is agreed, which is why this page lists factors instead of a figure.
