Broken toiler tank lid - replacements?

JMC39

Hi,

We have managed to break the toilet tank lid in our rented property. Ideally, we don't want to get the owner to replace as I expect they will get a new toilet (at a greater expense).

Does anybody know where we can buy a replacement lid? The toilet doesn't have any branding which doesn't help. The measurements are 34x13cm with a slight curve at the edges.

Thanks

is it plastic or ceramic?
im not sure anyone sell parts like that.
a new cistern is probably the quickest solution. they are not that expensive.

Hi.

That doesn't really narrow down the search area.

A photo would.

Your LL's not the Wilsons by any chance ?, if they are you may need this guy http://www.tanfieldchambers.co.uk/Barristers/Paul_Stevenson

Cases of interest include:

• The application of estoppel to the requirement for writing under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954;
• Resisting a claim brought by prolific “buy to let” investors against tenants for the cost of an entire bathroom refit with a successful counterclaim for the return of a deposit held under a Tenancy Deposit Scheme where the only damage to the property was to a cistern lid

Back to the problem in hand....

The chances are that you are looking at a new cistern. It may be quicker and cheaper to replace that than try and find a new lid. If the land lord's OK speaking to them now would be good. If I were your landlord I would probably want to do the work myself as a well meaning tenant without the skills needed carrying out repairs can often create more problems. If I could easily obtain a replacement cistern then I would probably just fit that and charge you for the cistern itself at cost.
