Hi @kira88,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

I'd suggest you check out step 2 in How to fix a leaking toilet where my colleague @EricL gives guidance on how to remove a flushing valve. Remember to turn off the water and drain the cistern before doing so.

Once removed, you can take it in store and match it up with a replacement flushing valve, then return home to install it.

You might also like to check out How to remove toilet flushing valve and How To Service a Valve for some further guidance.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

It looks like you’ve done the right thing by removing the valve @kira88. From the photos, it appears to be a proprietary model, so the specific valve you’ve pulled out isn’t sold separately at Bunnings. The best way forward is to take the valve along with the flush buttons to your local store and see if the team can match it to a replacement unit.

Most likely, you’ll need to replace the entire flushing mechanism, including the outlet at the bottom, because the bracket system that attaches to the upright posts is unique to that model. When you pick a replacement, make sure the buttons line up correctly with your cistern lid so everything functions properly. If a matching valve can’t be found, you may need to consider replacing the whole toilet cistern. Many systems are reasonably priced, and this could be a good opportunity to take advantage of our Toilet Installation offer if you want the swap done professionally.
