What is the "best" toilet tank repair kit?

start leaking/refilling the tank frequently.

If this is the only issue, it may just be the stopper thingy that has to be replaced (eta, the flap). I did it on one of mine recently because I noticed the tank was leaking and refilling. It's like $5 and two minutes. A bit less hassle than replacing the whole fill mechanism.

I agree with Y.A., however for a couple more dollars I would just go ahead and buy this one.

Sometimes hard water deposits form around the ring of the flapper not letting it seat correctly . Try cleaning and scrubbing ring/seal with vinegar first. Easy first step troubleshoot

no. its going to be greasy as frick and you're going to have that all over your hands.

just buy a new one and swap it. its $5 and not worth the hassle to try & clean one that is disintegrating.

I figured those would be significantly more expensive.

Most I've seen have the button in the center of the tank top

those are purpose built button flush toilets. This is a retrofit kit. Another cool thing is the water jet at the bottom of the tank that doesn't allow deposits to settle down at the bottom of the tank. Always keeps the deposits moving and flushing down the drain.

if you don't want the push button

Yes you can get black grease/film on your hands , but I used vinegar and paper towels 3 years ago . No problems since
