Cistern Repair in Barcelona | Geberit, Roca and Gala Mechanisms

The cistern doesn't stop sounding (water running) after pulling the chain: It is the clearest symptom that the buoy or float is not regulated correctly and the water keeps entering endlessly. This noise is characteristic and annoying, especially at night when the silence of the home amplifies it.

The push button gets stuck or does not return to its original position: Indicates that the internal mechanism is broken or jammed by lime. The spring may have weakened or the valve stem may be rusted.

The water does not flush or comes out very slowly when pressing the button: The flush mechanism does not lift the bell enough or the travel of the rod is limited. This causes waste not to be evacuated completely, forcing you to pull several times and wasting even more water.

The risks of ignoring the problem: A dripping or continuously filling cistern can waste more than 100,000 liters of water a year, making your water bill more expensive between 100 and 250€ annually. In addition, the water that overflows through the overflow tube can go directly into the drain without you noticing, and in some cases, if the bottom joint is deteriorated, water can leak into the flat below without you seeing a drop, causing silent structural damage.

We work with mechanisms from the leading brands in plumbing. For concealed cisterns, we use original **Geberit** spare parts (Sigma flush and 570 fill mechanisms). For classic cisterns, we use universal systems from the **Wirquin** or **Sfa** brand, which include high-durability EPDM joints and anti-clogging silicone membranes. Our floats are of the membrane type, which are much quieter than piston ones and do not calcify with the hardness of Barcelona's water. We also carry tank bottom joints of different diameters (1 1/4 and 1 1/2 valve) to adapt to any model.

Many Eixample flats have porcelain cisterns from the 60s or 70s, with bronze mechanisms and leather joints that are no longer manufactured. At Plumber Express we have developed a universal adaptation system that allows us to install modern 32 mm mechanisms in cistern bodies with 40 mm holes, using brass reducing rings. This allows us to repair cisterns that other companies declare 'unrepairable' and force to change, without the need to touch the tile or the bathroom furniture. It is a solution that has given us a great reputation among the property administrators in the area.

A property administrator on **Carrer Bailén (Eixample)** called us because in 5 flats of the building the Geberit cisterns were failing (the push button did not trigger the flush). The cost of replacing the 5 complete cisterns amounted to more than €2,500. During our visit, we verified that the problem was not the cistern, but the internal mechanism, which was calcified. We changed the 5 flush mechanisms for new ones with a silicone membrane, adjusted the push plates and the total cost was €475. The administrator saved more than €2,000 and all the neighbors recovered the optimal functioning of their WCs in less than 3 hours. This is an example of how a timely repair can prevent a costly and unnecessary reform.

Specialists in Geberit and concealed systems: You don't need to break the tile. We access the mechanism through the push button and perform the entire repair through the 10x10 cm hole, leaving the plate perfectly fitted.

Technicians with spare parts from all brands in the van: We don't waste time looking for parts; we carry 90% of Roca, Gala, Geberit and universal models spare parts, solving the problem on the first visit.

1-year guarantee on the repair: If the mechanism fails again during this period, we return at no additional cost, we guarantee it in writing.

Service throughout Barcelona: We cover all districts and also the periphery (Esplugues, Sant Just, L'Hospitalet) with free displacement in most cases.
