Fixing cistern with no screw holes to the wall?

[Frenchy316]

Hi Guys. I have to secure a 'wobbly' toilet cistern to the wall, only it has no existing screw holes? and I wondered what would be the best way to secure this? I have heard of people using a basin bracket? or sealant near to the top of the cistern? Thanks in advance

If I have n a cistern with no hole I just put 2 small blobs of silcone at the top of the cistern and push the cistern back on to it.
don't put to much back there, remember you may have to go back and take it off again!!

Cheers for now.

As ^^^^
Or 2 beads across the top of the cistern just below the lid, so you can get a knife in if needed to cut it out at another time.

It's amazing how well it holds, when you don't want it to..

Unlike some Berkley that I attended and had nicely pasted silicone all over the back :mad2:

Dunno why people do it. Everything in this place was siliconed hate hate hate it

Find an excuse to change the flush valve to a servicible one if you have to mastic the back!

and the fill valve if it isn't accessible
