Sorry to say but you won't get a replacement diaphragm washer for that at screwfix, the easiest way to replace the fillvalve but that will mean turning the water off & removing the old one, if you aren't confident & you don't know anyone that can help then phone a plumber

Oh, really? How come?

So what make do you think it is?

There is (or was) an eBay trader selling parts for most types under the name of "fixthebog" or similar!

Good info thanks - if I need to remove mine I guess it will be obvious if I need one with a pin or not?

TY

The one I linked only comes with the plastic pin but your remove it if the valve has a fixed metal pin.

If so, take care as the metal pin is very sharp and can puncture the new diaphragm if you put it together wrong!

I beg to differ......turn water off unscrew the big plastic nut and take out old diaphragm then replace with new

Looks like a Siamp inlet valve, Screwfix is a bit expensive for the washer though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHpSdyMnVoE

Check the float is not sticking.
