Hi,

I have a pushbutton toilet which developed a fault - having dismantled the push button part I see a black rubber bulb which when squeezed pushes air through to the syphon and operates the flush.

The rubber has perished and split so no longer works so I need a new one, trouble is I cannot find one anywhere.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a new one from?

Here's a couple of pictures.

Thanks,

Unfortunately I don't know who the maufacturer is; the whole cistern is sealed in behind a partition with tiles all over and I can't get to it without ripping it all out.

There's no writing / numbers of any sort of the bulb itself.
 
It's more difficult when you don't know the make. Do a search for a pneumatic wc push button flush, or remove the old button and take it to a plumbers merchant to see if they can find another one to match it up for you.
