FAQs
What types of toilet upgrades do you offer in Cosby?
We install modern close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung and comfort-height WCs, as well as high-efficiency dual-flush cisterns, macerator toilets for locations without gravity drainage, and smart bidet seats. All models are WRAS-approved and chosen to suit the existing soil pipe position and water pressure in your Cosby home.
How much does a typical toilet replacement cost?
Costs vary with the suite you choose, the condition of existing pipework and any floor or wall repairs required. A straightforward like-for-like swap in Cosby usually ranges from £220–£320 including labour, standard pan, cistern, soft-close seat, fixings and silicone sealing. Upgrades to wall-hung frames, concealed cisterns or smart bidet units can run £500–£1,200. We provide a fixed quotation after a free on-site survey so there are no hidden extras.
Will I need building regulations approval for a new toilet?
In most cases, replacing an existing WC in the same location is classed as ‘minor works’ and does not need Building Control notification. If you are moving the soil pipe, installing a macerator that requires electrical connection, or altering structural walls, we will advise whether approval or Part P certification is required and can handle the paperwork with Blaby District Council on your behalf.
How long does a toilet upgrade take from start to finish?
A direct replacement normally takes 2–3 hours, including draining the cistern, disconnecting the old suite, preparing the floor, fitting isolation valves and testing for leaks. More complex projects—such as re-routing the soil stack, boxing-in a concealed cistern or tiling behind a wall-hung frame—can take 1–2 days. We always leave at least one working WC operational overnight on multi-bathroom jobs.
What water-saving benefits will a dual-flush toilet bring?
Modern dual-flush cisterns use about 3 litres on a short flush and 4.5–6 litres on a full flush, compared with 9–13 litres in many older single-flush models. For an average family in Cosby this can reduce annual water consumption by over 20,000 litres, cutting Severn Trent water bills and lowering your home’s environmental footprint.
How do you dispose of the old toilet and ensure proper hygiene?
We remove the old pan, cistern and seat, cap any sharp porcelain edges, and transport them to a licensed waste transfer station in Leicestershire where they are crushed for aggregate reuse. All waste handling follows the Environmental Protection Act 1990. We disinfect the restroom floor and any touched surfaces with anti-bacterial cleaner before leaving, so the area is safe to use immediately.
