you should get your husband to clean the tank out, there could be a tiny stone in it

could be debris or may be pressure
ask the water company if they adjusted the pressure when carring out the repair if so a you may need to fit some form off stopcock or pressure reducing valve on the pipe supplying water to the toilet or try turning your stopcock down a few turns this may help
