Toilet Pipe Bust - How Much?

shanks84

Hi. I've just got up to go to the toilet, and all of a sudden I was sprayed with water from the pipe leading up into the bottom of the toilet! After finally finding the tap to turn the water off, the water has stopped leaking. It looks like it's just the pipe has come loose or split - I can't really see

I'm planning on calling the local plumber in the morning, as I don't really see it as an emergency as such, as the water is now off. How much can I expect to be paying for this? I don't know the first thing about plumbing lol, so I don't want to get ripped off!

Many Thanks

£35 ish + the cost of an isolating valve (about £1 or £2).

its really a handyman job. a plumber will charge a small fortune just to come out.
probably needs a new 5/10p seal and ten minutes with a spanner.
