Inlet valve in cistern will not sit tight to bottom of cistern.

As it is fresh in my mind (06/02/2013) and some have only advised calling a plumber.

As the saniflo installer left after being paid over £600. I asked him how to dispose of the old T12 sani pump.

He said, all it needed was a service due to limescale build up and he could do it for £120.

He would not even do this 10 minute job as in my post, as some of you have indicated it would take.

He said his colleague, who lived locally would come round and quote me for the job.

As I said I am just trying to make ends meet, like most of us are.

hindsight is wonderful but next time get some quotes for a saniflo install and youll have some change to fix any issues. Mind you most decent installers would do a complete job.

I found out from research before hand that the sanislim would cost anywhere between £350 to £450 and fitting would be anywhere from £150 to £250.

He actually did a good job with the sanislim fit. It works fine.

The fact that he could have serviced the old unit for £120 and refused to accept responsibility, was disappointing Telling me this after fitting the sanislim, was distressing at the time. But what can you do.

Also the fact that he lied about being local. We actually contacted his friend, who was local and turned up to quote a price for the issues related to the post.

At least I found this site. So something positive came out of it.

Having second thoughts about carrying out the work myself as I care for my elderly disabled mother. It may be a ten minute job for a plumber, but I would need to turn off the water from the mains, so no hot water or heating while I attempt to do the job.

Will try and ship her off for the day to my brothers house. But then will have to call out a plumber at short notice and pay more money.

As you say, would not have been a stretch fro the plumber to do an extra 10 mins.
