Answered on 16th Jun 2022 - Member since Jun 2022 - report"Hi - Given it's an outside WC I would guess you have a rather old toilet pan too. The following information is also based on the toilet being low level (rather than high level or close coupled). These old toilet pans were developed during a time when very little consideration was given to the amount of water required to flush away the contents of the pan. Tempting as it may be, you might be advised to go for a relatively inexpensive 6 litre cistern, which is unlikely to contain sufficient volume of water to flush the contents of the pan away (these work fine on modern WC pans where they have been designed to work on low water flush volumes). This being the case, I would strongly suggest going for a cistern that contains at least 12 litres. Thomas Dudley produce a 13.5L which retails at around £80. If you were happy to dispose of the old cistern yourself I would swap this over for you for around £70 (so to answer your question, about £150."

Answered on 26th May 2022 - Member since Aug 2015 - report"Good evening, the cost to replace a cistern is possible providing they still make it possiblyaround, £60/90, but it is far more economical to replace the the toilet for the sum of around £160:00, consider this, would you replace an engine in a car, 0r buy a new car
