Toilet Repair & Replacement FAQ

Common Questions

Can a running toilet be repaired?
Usually yes. A running toilet is most commonly caused by a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or float issue — all relatively inexpensive repairs.
Should I buy my own toilet or let the plumber supply it?
Either works. If you buy your own, make sure it fits the rough-in distance (usually 12 inches from the wall). Your plumber can advise on the right size.

Signs & Diagnosis

How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced?
Signs include constant running, cracks in the porcelain, frequent clogs, wobbling, or water leaking at the base. Toilets older than 20 years are often worth replacing for water efficiency alone.
What causes a toilet to leak at the base?
A leaking base usually means the wax ring seal has failed. The toilet needs to be pulled up, the old wax ring removed, and a new one installed.
What's the best toilet brand?
TOTO, Kohler, and American Standard are all solid choices common in North Texas. Look for WaterSense certified models for water savings.

Costs & Pricing

How much does it cost to replace a toilet in North Texas?
Check the Fair Price Guide on HomeRepairRates.com
How much water does a new toilet save?
Older toilets use 3.5-7 gallons per flush. Modern toilets use 1.28 gallons or less. For a family of four, that can save 10,000+ gallons per year.
How long does a toilet installation take?
About 1-2 hours for a straightforward swap. If the floor flange is damaged or the floor needs repair, it can take longer.
