Looking for a reputable plumber to replace the push button flush on a toilet - we are in Guardamar until Wednesday.

This is a fairly simple job to do yourself. Check out the instruction videos on You Tube.

Go to the Roca depot nearest you, sorry I don't know where it is, you need to Google it, I live in Northern Costa Blanca and use the one in Javea. I've done this job myself a few times. The replacement unit is approx. 28-30€.

Unscrew the push button bit and lift the cistern lid off. It's usually one of the plastic legs on the unit which has broken. It's fairly easy to take it out, then use it as a reference to get the right replacement, then fit the new one in. Good luck.

Agree. Most local Ferreterias carry a selection of the type needed. Easy to fit if one buys the correct type. V

Me neither. If one can manage a toilet-seat & you have the correct unit ( IE: Keep the old one!) 🚽. Good luck. V

I’ve got an issue with my push button too, it’s still releasing water after the flush. I would like to have a go at doing it myself, and there is a ferreteria near me.


Don’t suppose you have a link to one of these you tube videos you refer to, do you?

Thanks
