You could try bending the ball cock arm down a bit so the valve shuts of a bit earlier than it would normally ?

I would also check your float it may have sprung a leek then turn it upside down, if you were phoenix owner you cant do that it silicon only ;)

You will probably find there is a very small gromit/washer in the ballcock valve that is letting the water slip past - they get dented by constant closing and leak - if you can find the right size it will cost about 20p to get a new one!
