Blocked Drains Edinburgh

Are you struggling with a toilet that's not flushing properly or has a lingering odour? A toilet rim block can be an effective solution to this problem. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we've helped numerous homeowners in East Lothian, including those in Dunbar, North Berwick, and Musselburgh, with their toilet issues. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of fitting a toilet rim block.

Fitting a toilet rim block is a relatively simple task that can be completed with a few basic tools. However, if you're not comfortable with DIY projects or if the issue persists after installation, it's always best to consult a professional plumber.

The toilet rim is the area under the rim of the toilet bowl. To access this area, you'll need to lift the toilet seat and look for the small holes or gaps where the water flows into the bowl. This is where the rim block will be placed.

There are various types of toilet rim blocks available, including those that stick to the rim or those that hang from the rim. When selecting a rim block, consider the type of toilet you have and the level of odour control you need.

To fit the rim block, follow these steps:

1. Open the toilet seat and locate the rim.
2. If your rim block is the type that sticks to the rim, apply a small amount of adhesive to the back of the block and press it firmly onto the rim.
3. If your rim block is the type that hangs from the rim, attach the block to the rim using the provided clips or hooks.
4. Make sure the block is securely in place and won't come loose during flushing.

• When fitting a toilet rim block, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you have a faulty toilet or one that's prone to blockages, a rim block may not be the solution to your problem. In such cases, it's best to consult a professional plumber to diagnose and fix the issue.
• Regularly cleaning the toilet rim and bowl can help prevent the buildup of debris and odours.
• If you're unsure about fitting a toilet rim block or if you're not comfortable with DIY projects, consider consulting a professional plumber.
