When your toilet no longer flushes properly, it is possible that the siphon or its diaphragm has gone through wear and tear. In most cases, you would have to replace the entire toilet siphon to fix the problem. How you do this depends on the type of toilet that you have – close coupled or separate cistern and pan.
This process involves more work since you need to detach the cistern from the wall completely, so you can reach the plastic nut that holds the siphon in place.
This process is the more straightforward of the two, so you should get the job done without breaking a lot of sweat.
Before doing any repairs on both types of toilet, it is important to turn off the water supply and empty the cistern. Flush the toilet until all stored water has gone down the drain. If needed, use a sponge to remove the remaining water. This is done to minimize mess while fixing your toilet.
If you have confidence in your handyman skills, buying parts is a lot cheaper than with labor cost combined. But even if you hire a plumber, replacing a siphon shouldn’t cost much. So, if a plumber charges you with exorbitant rates, look for other service providers.
