A leaking toilet cistern could be more than just a minor inconvenience. Water continuously escaping from your cistern can increase bills and, if left unchecked, cause damage to floors and fixtures. For homeowners across Melbourne, recognising the signs and acting quickly is essential. Here at Black Iron Plumbing, we provide expert inspection, efficient repairs and reliable replacements to restore your bathroom to its peak functioning. 

Common Reasons for a Leaking Toilet Cistern 

Several issues, such as worn-out seals or gaskets, can cause a toilet to leak from the tank. These components naturally degrade over time, allowing water to seep out slowly, damaging the interiors. 

Faulty inlets or flush valves are also common reasons for leaks. If these valves fail to close completely, water continues to flow into the bowl, resulting in extensive waste and higher utility costs. Build-up of minerals or general wear and tear can reduce valve efficiency, making timely repairs important. 

Cracks in the cistern itself, though less common, can also lead to persistent leaks. Even a small crack can cause ongoing water loss and, in some cases, structural damage if ignored.

Here at Black Iron Plumbing, we specialise in precise diagnosis and effective toilet cistern repair. Our team, upon a visit, can help determine whether the issue requires a simple seal replacement, valve adjustment or a complete cistern replacement.
