I have a Grohe cistern that was installed last year but it looks like the button has become faulty since not working quite as easily it should. Looking to replace it and going to try the DIY route. A single flush button from Grohe seems to be around £35, which seems like a lot for a button to me, when you have dual flush buttons from Screwfix etc. for like £8.

Are these things interchangeable between brands? Or should I just stick with Grohe given that's the rest of the cistern? And I assume if it's a single flush thing, a double button can't be used and just have it do the same thing?

I'm very much a DIY noob, so excuse the potentially stupid/basic questions :)
 
I am surprised the Grohe fitting broke. Are you sure it is Grohe and not Grone? I have a friend who did a whole suit in Durovin thinking it was Durovit :cry:
 
Replaced the whole cistern last year and the plumbing company said it was Grohe, so assuming they didn't pull a fast one, was Grohe, rather than Grone :cry: It's not completely broken down, but takes a good number of pushes before it flushes unless you get lucky and it happens in one or two. A plumber who examined it thought it's the button that's gone.

Cost + the fact it only lasted a year is what made me question going Grohe again tbh. But if things aren't interchangable, and they *should* last, then I'll give them another shot. It sounds like it's that, or replace the whole thing again, which is a bit much!
