To not have has to spend over 24hours without a toilet.

[Berryglitter]

Cistern cracked on my loo early hours of yesterday morning (no idea how). Only discovered it when my elderly neighbours son came up to tell me water was coming down into her bathroom.

I took the day off work, rang our housing association etc. At 4.55pm someone finally turned up, I'd turned the water off and put buckets/towels around to try and stop the damage. The man isolated the leak but said nothing they could do until today but they'd be out first thing. It's now 12pm. I'm having to run to various neighbours to use the loo.

I understand they're busy and apparently a few were off sick but I pay rent, it have a ds who's 5 and this is now the second day I've had to take off work.

I now have the same problem and am waiting on my HA to fix it. Its an all day call between 8 and 6 Havent been able to flush since yesterday afternoon.

but like the OP, you do have a toilet, you just don't have a flush. As long as you have a bucket, you have a workaround.

hope they turn up!

Oh yes I have a bucket. Under the Right to Repair a toilet without a flush has to be repaired within 24 hours if its the only toilet in the house. So they should turn up.

Still not here.

Done...finally Bloody stressful 24 hours DH went to his day centre so was able to use the loo there.

Your hubby is right. Just put a bucket load of water down. You may need to do it 2/3 if you done a poo. Surely that is easier than going the neighbours all the time.

The exact same thing happen to me (Search and you shall find my thread). Bucket flush. Works brilliantly. Hope they sort it soon.
