A running toilet can waste over 200 litres a day and a leaking pan seal rots floors quietly. Apple Plumbing & Electrical installs and repairs all toilet types — close-coupled, wall-hung and concealed-cistern — across Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and Northern Johannesburg, with the common cistern parts stocked for first-visit repairs.
What we do
Installations cover close-coupled suites, wall-hung pans on concealed frames and back-to-wall units, set with new seals, isolation valves and a clean silicone finish. Repairs cover running cisterns (inlet and flush valves), weak or partial flushes, leaks from the pan-to-floor seal or cistern joints, loose pans and broken seats. For recurring blockages we clear the pan and, if it persists, investigate the soil pipe.
Signs you need this service
- A cistern that keeps running or won't refill
- A weak or double flush
- Water seeping around the base of the pan
- A wobbly or loose toilet
- Installing or replacing a WC in a renovation
