Diagnosing the actual toilet fault
A toilet problem is not always caused by the part that first appears faulty. Constant filling may come from a worn inlet valve, incorrect water level, damaged flush seal or water passing into the pan. A leak can come from the cistern, pan connector, supply connection, isolation valve or fixing points. The first step is to identify the source rather than replacing random parts.

Repair or replace?
A sound toilet with a common internal fault is often worth repairing. Replacement may be more sensible when the ceramic is damaged, fittings are obsolete, there are repeated leaks, or the toilet is being upgraded. The options and likely disruption are explained before work goes ahead.
Useful photographs to send
Photograph the full toilet, inside the cistern with the lid removed if safe, the water connection and the area where the leak appears. For concealed cisterns, include the flush plate and surrounding boxing. This helps distinguish a routine repair from a job needing specialist or manufacturer-specific parts.
