Do we know what's leaking at this stage?

Bet it's the flush pipe connecter (going into the pan) that's come off!

A lot of plumbers won't do toilet repairs and you can see why. I'd work on standard toilets all day but concealed and back to wall toilets I tend to walk away when I can.

I see no harm in such jobs Rocky if the weather is shocking outside and your not against the clock.
However, I'm like the others I find these difficult to bordering stressful if I've got other booked jobs so I tend to find best leave well alone.

Did one the other day in some fancy bathroom in a posh place. It was a Grohe Dal flush valve that needed changing. The pneumatic two pipe sort with small bellows. Everything happens through the flush plate hole. Just like changing a flush valve through a letter box - only just enough clearance.
The valve wasn't cheap, and customers pay extra for keyhole surgery. smiley-sad056 nay

Cheers all
No idea where it’s leaking from but Sod’s law will be where I can reach!
I’ve told the woman my rates & she’s agreed.
I’m charging £65 first hour plus £30 per half hour or part of plus any materials
I think o that’s good money.
My old charge was £45 plus £30 an hour
If people don’t want hourly then I’m happy to price a job but I’ll cover my ass & won’t be shy!
Plus selective injuns which will get charged more for the friends being told get twats in the past
