It could be a venting issue. Check the roof vent for the plumbing system. Perhaps clogged with leaves or other debris causing a blockage in the vent line. You can use a hose up to the roof and flush out the vent line. Another problem may be calcium buildup. CLR , a product available at most hardware and grocery stores will dissolve mineral buildups.

Bidet keeps running
If you've tried turning off both shutoffs underneath and water still runs, then the shutoffs are also likely worn out and need to be replaced. If there is no way to shut off from that point, then the only other option is to have somebody turn off all water in the house near your water meter or main water line. In many places, hardware stores will sell something called a "water shutoff key", but depending on your location, it may have a different local name.
Once water is off to the whole house, turn the hot water on somewhere in the house to reduce pressure from your water heater before replacing your faucet and shutoff valves.
It is a good idea to take one of your old water shutoffs with you to a hardware store to make sure the new one would fit propperly.
If you know somebody who can take apart the faucets to check and replace just the washers, then it could be fixed with even less expense, if you would not rather replace the faucet with a new one that will last longer.

This sounds like the air switch in the motor is not working properly. You will need to remove the pump from under the tub to access the air switch located in a housing on the motor.
Replacement Air Switch will cost you about $20US Parts Center

Both sinks have fissures, small cracks, developing
Two things come to mind, The sinks were installed out of balance and way over tightened causing a constant stress on a warped surface, or a foreign object was left under lips of sinks. If they were purchased and installed at the same time you could have received damaged merchandise.

American standard toilet doesnt always flush, water swirls around
There is a clog in the line. A plunger usually solves this problem, but you have to use a toilet plunger. Your local hardware store will give you the right tool ($13). If the plunger doesn't work, you need a toilet auger (also called a closet auger), which you can buy for less than $20.

Brown ring in my toilet
The brown ring is usually caused by hard water stains. With bit of chemicals scrubbed with a scouring stick. Toilets are fairly cheap if you need a new one for better looks.

Water pressure is low in bath and kitchen
Check the aerators for debris. Aerators are located at the end of the spout where the water comes out. Usually these unscrew counterclockwise (some models require a tool). Rinse out and reinstall. They may be just a lower flow model.

My toilet rocks when you sit on it. How to I fix it?
I haven't sat on your toilet, so the rockin' don't come from me! Our grandpa had a habit of slamming his a@@ down on the toilet here at my house, so now it rocks when sat on. The bolts have shifted, or the wax ring was smisshed. If you take off the toilet from the floor, and find out either/or, let me know.
