Toilet Repair and Installation

A toilet that runs constantly, won't flush properly, rocks on the floor, or leaks at the base usually needs a professional look. The plumber we connect you with will inspect the tank and bowl, identify what's wrong, and let you know whether a repair or replacement makes sense.

When people call about this

  • Running constantly
  • Blocked and a plunger has failed
  • Water at the base
  • Rocking or loose on the floor

Do this before you call

Water at the base usually means the wax seal has failed, which is a pull-and-reset job rather than a quick fix. Worth knowing before you are quoted for it.

Pricing

What it costs, and what moves the price

The cost depends on whether the job is a repair or a full replacement, what parts are required, and whether the toilet needs to come out of the ground. A fill valve or flapper replacement takes an hour or two. A full replacement involves more labor: removing the old toilet, inspecting and treating the floor, setting the new one, and sealing it. Time of day and how easily the plumber can access the shutoff valve also factor in.

Questions about toilet repair

What does toilet repair usually cost?
It depends on the parts needed and whether it's a repair or replacement. A fill valve or flapper is a smaller job. Replacing the entire toilet costs more because of labor and the work to unseat and re-seal it. The plumber we connect you with will give you an estimate after looking at it.
Why would a plumber recommend replacing instead of fixing?
If the bowl has cracks, the tank is damaged, or the toilet is very old and repairs keep happening, replacement often makes sense. An old toilet is also less water-efficient, so a new one can reduce your water bill over time.
Can I wait to fix a running toilet?
A running toilet wastes water every day, so it costs money to delay. The longer it runs, the higher your water bill. Parts that fix it are usually affordable.
What if the toilet is blocked and a plunger hasn't worked?
The plumber we connect you with may need to use a toilet auger to clear the blockage deeper in the line. If the block is further down, they can advise whether to clear it or recommend a different approach.
Does my toilet need to come out of the floor?
Not always. Most repairs happen while the toilet stays in place. If the base is damaged, the seal is compromised, or the toilet needs to be replaced, then yes, it comes out and goes back in with a fresh seal.
Is toilet repair an emergency?
It depends on the problem. A running toilet can wait a day or two. A backed-up toilet or one that is leaking water onto the floor needs faster attention to prevent damage.
