Ours keeps running after flushing and jiggling the handle doesn't help anymore. What would a plumber charge to sort it?

"Hi, it sounds like a faulty valve inside the toilet cistern. We can certainly repair this for you.

The cost would typically be between £95 and £145, including standard replacement parts and labour, depending on which component has failed."
