An elderly relative reports a serious leak in the connector between her cistern and toilet (at the toilet end - it sounds like a separate cistern and a short connecting pipe). She can't send me a picture but says that the connector is accessible and she could wrap something around it. Is there any particular sort of DIY shed tape which could form a temporary repair until she can get a plumber in?Many thanks.

Best tape for temporary leak sealing?

Is this the same as the last thread? I had that as well turnedout to have been a plastic valve with a nut overtightened where it joined the metal pip. Had to buy a new valve in the end, a metal one. Brian
