A toilet is a simple fixture with a small number of parts, so most problems come down to one of the same few failures. This guide covers what each symptom usually means and when to repair versus replace.
Almost always a worn flapper, a fill valve that will not shut off, or an incorrectly set float. All three are inexpensive parts. If the flapper feels soft, stiff, or warped, replace it. If the tank overfills past the overflow tube, the fill valve or float is at fault.
Usually a failed wax seal, which requires pulling and re-setting the toilet with a new seal. Sometimes a cracked tank or a loose supply line coupling. If the flange under the toilet is broken or below finished floor height, a flange repair or extender is added when the toilet is reset.
A specialist assesses the problem on site before any repair work is priced. Repair options and pricing are explained before approved work begins.
It wastes a surprising amount of water. Parts are inexpensive and the fix is quick, so it usually pays for itself.
In most cases yes. We can also flag when the rough-in dimension or supply configuration will be a problem before we start.
A like-for-like swap is typically completed in a single visit, longer if the flange under the toilet needs repair.
