Re: Today Matthew Im Going To Be ... ?
Soon after I moved in this flat 5 years ago I noticed that the plastic bath panel was cracked. I had already advised them of other things that were in need of repair and had missed that fault. When I looked at the tenancy agreement I found that bath panels werent on their list of 'unchargeable repairs' so I have put up with it (disguised by Polyfilla and a towel) I am to get a new bathroom suite next year so glad I havent gone to the expense of replacing it. If you are due such a refurb, a cheapo handle might last out till then.

Re: Today Matthew Im Going To Be ... ?
OK, fixed the best i can, its still a bit wobbly is the handle when you flush no matter how tight i try and secure it with the nut and washer. My tank is one of those plastic ones and they bend and distort.
Crap plastic watertanks. |

If the tank is the cause of the problem it WILL be their job to replace it - talk to them nicely - you might get a complete new bathroom
