Good evening,

I have a dual push button toilet flush and one of the plastic rods just under the button has come out.

I have tried to put this back in but have had no luck so far.

Does any body know if it is possible to repair the flush or whether I will need to buy a whole new one?

Thank you very much for any help you can provide. It will be greatly appreciated as I have no clue about plumbing!

Thanks again

A pic may help ID it first.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It is at a property I rent out so I will get a picture when I am next there (hopefully in the next few days).
Many thanks again

Apologies for the delay in posting a picture but any help is greatly appreciated.

Hopefully I have attached the picture correctly!

The rod which has come away from the main button has now fallen into the cistern so I will need to try and retrieve it or buy a new one (if possible).

Thanks very much again for any help given

Shouldn't be too much of a problem to re-attach the rod, provided it hasn't snapped..

Otherwise a zoomed out pic would help the plumbers identify which type of valve you have..

Great thank you.
I will try and re-attach the rod again tonight.
Maybe I need to use a little more force - I didn't want to break it!

Otherwise I will get a zoomed out picture uploaded.

thanks again for your help
