Toilet Install or Repair FAQs
Most plumbers need two to four hours for a straightforward install. They shut off the water, removed the old toilet, installed a new wax ring, secured the new unit, and reconnected the supply. As long as the flange and supply lines are in good shape, they can test-flush and clean up within that window.
Most toilets are expected to serve reliably for about 25 years. Premium models can surpass that mark, but wear on seals, flush valves, and glazing means they lose efficiency over time. Regular cleaning and quick repairs can extend the lifespan, while planning a replacement around the 25-year mark keeps water bills low and performance high.
Toilet repair bills swing widely. Quick fixes, such as a new flapper or wax ring, stay on the low end, while pipe swaps or flange rebuilds push costs higher, especially if you call after hours. Emergency labor rates stack on top of parts, so schedule non-urgent fixes during regular business hours whenever possible.
Start with size and rough-in: the toilet must fit your drain location and floor space. Next, balance the budget with features—standard two-piece models are affordable workhorses, while dual-flush or pressure-assisted options save water and offer stronger performance. Finally, match bowl shape, seat height, and finish to your comfort and décor. Weighing those three areas helps you select a fixture that not only looks good but also works well.
