My toilet cistern is continuously leaking water. Although it’s only a small amount, it drips constantly around the clock. I have now removed the cover plate from the cistern (brand: Geberit), but honestly, I’m not sure what to do next. What steps do I need to take to reseal the system? Do I need to call a professional plumber for something like this?

I just experienced the same issue. It’s really frustrating when a toilet keeps running constantly. In my case, the fill valve was leaking. I replaced the seal and cleaned the entire valve thoroughly. That worked well, and now everything is sealed properly again.
All the best

Sandraholster-123 Jan 2015 15:16That is quite frustrating, and it happened to me while my husband was on a business trip. But I took matters into my own hands and searched online, where I found several videos. They helped me understand the issue, and I was able to identify the problem. The cause was a worn-out seal, which I replaced myself.

Well, those who have, can. Buying a new toilet because of a faulty seal? What a waste of money, often the issues can be fixed with just a few simple steps. Of course, troubleshooting is done first.
Good luck.
