Default Need Handyman In A Hurry

I need someone to repair a leaking toilet tank. It looks like the gasket between tank and bowl, but I am useless when it comes to fixing anything. Having guests for the week starting Sunday and really need this work done. Can anyone help?

I had the same issue. All I needed to do is tighten up the screws that join the tank to the bowl.

You might want to give that a try before calling in the Calvary..

But if that does not work, try Tony who advertises as "Mr. Fix It - no job too small or too large." He is very good and very reasonable. His telephone number is 941 780-1105.

Be very careful not to overtighten that tank....I have seen folks to this and get rewarded with a cracked tank. If you crack that tank, a new toilet may be in your future.

Replacing this gasket is a simple job....there are many you tube videos that show this done.

That being said, I'm sure you could find a Handyman who may do this for you.
