I fixed my leaking toilet for £9 and in less time than it would take to get a plumber round

Neutral traditional bathroom, with wall panelling, sash window and wooden stool.

While I'm normally on top of my home maintenance in the hopes of staving off more serious issues down the line, I will admit that my leaky loo had been on the to do list for an embarrassing amount of time.

Rather than a serious leak or weird bathroom smells (which I definitely would have called out a professional to resolve much sooner), my issue was more of an occasional drip, stemming from a very old bolt and a failed washer. After doing a little bit of research, it seemed like an easy DIY project for me to fix it myself, and save a bit of money at the same time.
