FAQs
How do I know when my toilet needs upgrading or replacing?
Common warning signs include frequent blockages, hairline cracks around the bowl or cistern, continuous running water, difficulty flushing, rising water bills and outdated high-volume (13 litre+) flush mechanisms. If you notice any of these issues, our qualified Bristol plumbers can inspect the toilet and advise whether a repair or full replacement will be more cost-effective in the long run.
What types of replacement toilets can you install?
We supply and fit close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung and comfort-height toilets, as well as modern rimless and dual-flush models that meet the latest UK Water Regulations and WRAS approval standards. If you are looking for added convenience, we also install bidet-style smart toilets and concealed cistern systems for a sleek, minimalist finish.
How long does a standard toilet replacement take?
A straightforward like-for-like swap usually takes 2–3 hours, including removal of the old unit, preparation of the pipework and installation of the new toilet. More complex jobs—such as relocating the soil pipe, adjusting floor levels or fitting wall-hung frames—can take half a day to a full day. We always provide a clear time estimate at the quotation stage so you know what to expect.
Will you dispose of my old toilet responsibly?
Yes. All our plumbers are registered waste carriers with Bristol City Council. We remove the old pan, cistern and any associated fittings, transport them to a licensed recycling centre and provide documentation on request. Porcelain from old toilets is often crushed and reused in road sub-base material, reducing landfill waste.
How much does a toilet replacement cost in Bristol?
Prices start from around £220 for a basic close-coupled toilet supplied and fitted. Mid-range dual-flush or comfort-height models typically range from £280–£380. Wall-hung or smart toilets can be £550 and up depending on brand and features. Your quote will include the new toilet, labour, any minor pipe adjustments, silicone sealing and disposal of the old unit—no hidden extras.
Do I need to switch off my water supply before you arrive?
No preparation is required; our engineers will isolate the water at the service valve or stopcock when they arrive. If your stopcock is seized or inaccessible, please let us know in advance so we can bring the appropriate tools or arrange a replacement. Once the work is finished, we turn the water back on, bleed air from the system, test the new toilet thoroughly and leave the area clean and tidy.
