Toilets – DIY Plumbing

Isolation & Pipework
Taps, Traps & Wastes
Toilets
Home Heating Essentials

In Module 3 of our DIY Plumbing courses, we’ll move onto toilets. Love or hate ’em, they are a pretty essential part of  our lives. However, they do often go wrong.

We’ll show you some of the common issues that you may need to know about, (we can feel the excitement building already), such as…..

  • Cisterns - different types, how they work & how to repair them
  • Flush & Fill Valves - and the common issues they cause
  • Wobbly Toilet Seats - the bane of our lives. Learn how to install & fix them
  • Leaks - how to identify, avoid & solve them.

As with all our practical DIY workshops, this will be very hands-on. You will get to use plumbing tools and fittings, so that you feel confident to deal with issues at home.

    What we provide…..

    We will provide all materials, tools etc. However, if you want to bring along your own tools, ongoing projects etc. then feel free to do so.

    We also have hot drinks – tea, coffee etc. Feel free to bring your own additional refreshments, if you want to.

    What to bring…..

    We recommend wearing old clothing, and sturdy shoes.
    If you would like to bring your own PPE (Personal Protectve Equipment), please feel free to do so. We will proide PPE, but we know that some people would prefer to use their own. (We recommend that you mark them up with your names, so that you can identify them)
