FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet should be replaced rather than repaired?
If your toilet is over 15-20 years old, clogs frequently, has visible cracks in the tank or bowl, runs constantly despite repairs, or shows signs of porcelain wear that makes cleaning difficult, replacement is usually more economical than further patch-ups. Upgrading also lets you take advantage of modern water-saving technology, quieter fills, and improved flushing performance.
What types of new toilets can your Halls plumbers supply and install?
We stock and fit close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung, and comfort-height models from reputable brands such as Caroma, American Standard, and Roca. Options include dual-flush cisterns, rimless bowls for easier cleaning, soft-close seats, and WaterSense/4-star WELS-rated units that can cut household water use by up to 50 %. We will assess your existing plumbing, rough-in dimensions, and desired style before recommending the best model for your space and budget.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For most homes in Halls, a straightforward like-for-like swap takes about two to three hours, including removal of the old toilet, inspection of the flange and shut-off valve, installation of the new unit, leak testing, and site clean-up. If flooring repairs, flange relocation, or pipe modifications are needed, the job can extend to half a day. We schedule appointments at a time convenient for you and arrive with all materials on hand to minimise disruption.
Will I need any council approvals or permits for a toilet upgrade in Halls?
In most cases, replacing an existing toilet with a new unit in the same location is classified as maintenance plumbing and does not require a permit from the City of Halls Council. However, if you are relocating the toilet, altering drainage lines, or undertaking a larger bathroom renovation, minor building or plumbing work approval may be needed. Our licensed plumbers are familiar with local regulations and can advise and lodge any necessary paperwork on your behalf.
What budget should I allow for a new toilet and professional installation?
Costs vary with the style and features chosen. A quality dual-flush close-coupled suite installed in the same position typically ranges from $550 to $850, including supply, labour, new wax/rubber seal, and disposal of the old unit. Wall-hung or concealed-cistern systems, comfort-height bowls, or premium designer brands can run from $1,200 to $2,500 installed. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after inspecting your bathroom so you know the full price upfront—no surprises.
Can you remove and recycle my old toilet responsibly?
Yes. As part of our service, we drain, detach, and remove your old toilet, then transport it to an approved recycling facility in Halls. The porcelain is crushed for road base or new ceramic products, and metal components such as bolts and hinges are separated for scrap recycling. This keeps waste out of landfill and ensures an environmentally friendly upgrade process.
