FAQs

Is the toilet seat included?

Yes, the set includes a color-matched soft-close seat.

Does this set include the flush mechanism?

Yes, the close-coupled cistern comes equipped with the necessary flushing internal components.

How do I clean the ceramic finish?

Use mild bathroom cleaners and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to maintain the shine and prevent scratches.

Can this be installed in a small bathroom?

The close-coupled design is compact and ideal for small to medium-sized bathrooms.

Is the installation hardware included?

Typically, the set includes the main components, but you may need to purchase floor mounting screws and a wax ring separately depending on your specific flooring type.

What does 'open back' mean?

An open back toilet has a gap at the rear of the base, allowing for easier access to the plumbing connections compared to closed-back or fully skirted models.

Troubleshooting

The seat is not closing slowly

Check the hinges to ensure they are properly tightened and free of debris; if the mechanism has failed, the seat may need to be replaced.

Water leaking from the base

Inspect the wax ring or floor seal to ensure it is seated correctly and verify that the toilet is securely bolted to the floor.

Cistern running continuously

Check the internal fill valve and float mechanism to ensure they are not obstructed or set too high, causing the water to overflow into the overflow pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Soft-close seat mechanism reduces noise and prevents damage
  • Open back design simplifies plumbing access and installation
  • Clean, versatile white finish fits almost any bathroom decor
  • Durable ceramic construction offers long-term reliability
  • Integrated cistern saves space compared to concealed tank systems

Cons

  • Open back design leaves the waste pipe visible compared to back-to-wall models
  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge or assistance for proper sealing
  • Weight of ceramic components may require two people for safe handling during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify that your existing waste pipe configuration is compatible with the standard floor-mount open back design. When installing, use high-quality wax rings or rubber seals to ensure a watertight connection between the pan and the floor outlet. To care for your Durleigh toilet, clean the ceramic surfaces with non-abrasive bathroom cleaners and a soft cloth to protect the finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the seat hinges, as this may degrade the soft-close mechanism over time. Periodically check that the cistern mounting bolts remain tight to ensure the unit stays secure against the wall.
