Broken toilet, flusher bit wont stay in place?

This is really hard to explain so thats why im asking on here!

The problem is, the flush button on the top of the toilet isnt held in place any more after a round thing broke in half and fell off (inside toilet) i need to find the name of the round thing that holds the flusher where it is ment to be so i can order a new one.

Its like the thing that broke maybe screwed on to hold the flusher in place like a bolt would. I can get hold of the flush botton and pull it up out of place easily, as nothings holding it down. Please help!

    I understand what your wanting but I should think the best place to go would be a company called Plumb Centre or Wikes and there is City Plumbing anyone of them should be able to supply you with the correct part hope this helps :0)

    I think what you need is a flapper. or if you are referring to the handle that connects to the flapper you can get help and replacement parts easy at the following stores below:

    If you go to a Home Depot or Lowe's you can find the part you want and especially get some help by asking one of the helpful qualified plumbers who actually know what parts you need who work in the home plumbing department.

    It is one of the cheapest parts you can buy to replace.

    The flapper is a ball that has a round ring of rubber or plastic that goes into the hole at the bottom of the toilet tank, and it is connected to a chain that is connected to the flusher handle on the outside of the tank that you flush with.

    Good luck.
