toilet will not stop refilling

wazza

had a new toilet unit fitted 4 years ago. after flushing it refills itself as it should. sometimes it will not stop and overflows into the pan. found that sometimes if i turn on the bath cold tap full the toilet stops filling. it works sometimes. removing the cover of the toilet the innards are all white plastic and seem low quality to me. what can i do?

also had to use the stop valve now there is a small drop of water seeping out

not my week :-(

it's sometimes a piece of debris that stops the new style alves from sealing completely so they continue to fill albeit slowly. Sometimes teh change in pressure from starting and stopping the bath tap may be enough to dislodge the debris and it seals. Often have to take ours completely apart to remove debris which is a pain in the newer style valves

update - got a replacement float valve from B&Q and problem solved.

stripping the original unit looked very fiddly


thanks for the reply
