My push button toilet keeps filling

[Monogram]

Hi all!

I've got a weird situation where after the toilet fills up after flushing, it'll keep trickling water out. Even though the float/shut off lever is all the way up.. Then if I go to a tap and give it a short burst on cold it shuts it off?! Anyone know what's going on here and how I could fix it?

Might be worth mentioning that when the shower is on in a different room this toilet makes the same trickling noise, until the shower stops and it cuts off.

Any advice would he much appreciated, I cant cope with standing by the bog ery time I flush it to make sure the water isn't constantly running!

Heres a vid of what happens..

Cheers,
Tom

The black top coloured valve is a Fluidmaster and is faulty.
A new Fluidmaster diaphragm washer might sort it, and just involves turning water off to cistern and giving the cap part a slight twist to remove to top and replace the washer.
But probably best to have entire valve replaced with a Fluidmaster Pro45B valve (it has brass tail) or a similar brand.

It should be fairly easy to remove the valve on your toilet cistern as it is not a back to wall loo.
It might require a new seal washer on the water supply connection to fill valve, so first check what type of connection you have. If it is a copper fitting with brass nut, then replace the washer.

Or your easiest way to replace your valve is to just buy an identical Fluidmaster valve and only replace the valve part inside the cistern, leaving the stem part.
The valve is telescopic and is height adjustable by sliding up or down on it’s stem. Only thing holds it together is a round collar clip that you just slide up to be able to pull the valve off. Then push new valve on to same height as old valve was and push the round collar down to lock valve height.
Take a look at new valve first to see how it all goes together.
Note there are different versions of the Fluidmaster valve and best to get identical valve so to suit the stem.
