Wonder if anyone can help. I have a push button toilet.
After I flush the toilet there tends to be a pause of maybe 2 - 6 seconds before the tank starts filling up.
It fills up fine it is just the few second pause before it starts filling after the flush which is the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

It reads as you have a slight sticking float/ball valve.
something like this

first off check to see if theres free movement and nothing it can jam up on.
If you get hold of silicone grease and rub it above the ball valve and lift it and then below the valve.
move the valve up and down just like you do with your tool 
its normal they do stick but some dont worry and just carry on as they dont notice as much. |

Are you in a hard or soft water area? If it's hard water, there might be a bit of limescale building up. |

There you go. Get some silicone grease and rub it on your balls. It doesn't help the toilet but it feels nice. |
