  I know... downstairs loo, family bathroom and 2 en suites. Quite common for four bedroom new builds now I think.

  is the button itself faulty or the actual mechanism, remove the top and press what the button would press and see if its fine if so then get another button from a plumbers merchant as they don't seem very well designed to last from what i've seen

  Yeah the actual flush works fine, just seems to be the spring under the button has gone.

  I would imagine a bit of plastic has snapped stopping the spring push up to far so replacement is the only option. If it just pushes down two pins underneath the lid then replacements are pretty easy and you can buy a generic one.
  
  If its a cable or tube you will probably need to find the manufacturer and get the replacement push button assembly. If you can't get that it's a whole new flush valve. If you do get a new flush valve just buy a fluidmaster, then spare parts will always be available.
