FAQs
When should I consider replacing my old toilet rather than repairing it?
You should look at replacement if the porcelain is cracked, the bowl or tank sweats or rocks, you experience frequent clogs, or your water bill is rising due to a running or inefficient unit. Older 13-litre-per-flush toilets can use up to three times more water than modern 4.8-litre high-efficiency models, so upgrading can quickly pay for itself in water savings. Our licensed Duff plumbers can inspect your fixture and give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation on the spot.
What types of high-efficiency or smart toilets do you install in Duff?
We supply and install single-flush and dual-flush HETs (High-Efficiency Toilets), pressure-assisted models for commercial restrooms, comfort-height ADA-compliant bowls, wall-hung concealed-tank units, and the latest bidet and smart toilets with heated seats, night-lights, automatic lids and app control. All products we recommend carry WaterSense certification and full manufacturer warranties, and we’ll help you choose a model that fits both your rough-in size and your household’s water-saving goals.
How much does a typical toilet replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
In Duff, a standard floor-mounted toilet replacement by a licensed plumber usually ranges from $350 to $750 including the new fixture, removal of the old unit, flange inspection and a new wax or rubber seal. Costs rise if the flooring around the flange is water-damaged, the shut-off valve needs replacement, or you opt for premium smart or wall-mounted toilets that may require frame and carrier installation. We provide a written, upfront quote so there are no surprises on your final invoice.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most straightforward swaps take about 90 minutes: 15 minutes to drain and remove the old toilet, 30 minutes to prepare the flange and supply line, 30 minutes to set the new bowl and tank, and 15 minutes for testing and cleanup. Your home’s water is shut off only at the toilet’s local supply valve, so the rest of the house can operate normally. For more complex installations—such as wall-hung carriers—plan on half a day.
Are permits required in Duff for a toilet replacement, and do your licensed plumbers handle the paperwork?
Simple like-for-like toilet replacements do not require a building permit in Duff. However, if the work involves altering the drainage system, relocating the flange, or opening walls or floors, a plumbing permit is mandatory under the Duff Municipal Code. Our Red Seal–licensed plumbers handle all permit applications and schedule any required inspections, ensuring your project complies with local bylaws and the Ontario Plumbing Code.
Can you dispose of my old toilet and ensure it’s recycled responsibly?
Yes. After removal, we transport your old porcelain fixture to the Duff Eco-Depot where it’s crushed and recycled into road-base aggregate. Metal components such as bolts, handles and fill valves are separated for scrap recycling. This service is included in your quote, so you don’t have to worry about lifting, hauling or environmental fees.
