FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading to a modern one-piece toilet in my Lenoir City home?
One-piece toilets combine the tank and bowl into a seamless unit, which provides a sleek appearance, easier cleaning (fewer crevices for grime), and a reduced chance of leaks between the tank and bowl. Newer models also feature powerful yet water-saving flush systems that meet or exceed current Tennessee plumbing codes, helping you lower utility bills while improving bathroom aesthetics.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take with One-Piece Designs Plumbing?
For most standard installations, our licensed plumbers can remove your old toilet and set the new one in about 2–3 hours. This includes shutting off water, draining and disconnecting the old unit, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax (or wax-free) seal, securing the new toilet, reconnecting water lines, testing for leaks, and cleaning up the work area. If flange repairs or floor adjustments are needed, the job may take a bit longer, but we’ll always give you a time estimate before work begins.
Do I need to prepare anything before your team arrives for a toilet replacement?
All we ask is that you clear a small workspace around the toilet and move any rugs or personal items. If there is fragile décor nearby, please relocate it to avoid accidental damage. We handle the water shut-off and bring all tools, drop cloths, and protective booties to keep your bathroom tidy. If you have specific flooring concerns (e.g., vintage tile), let us know in advance so we can take extra precautions.
What happens to my old toilet after it’s removed?
As part of our service, One-Piece Designs Plumbing will haul away and responsibly dispose of your old toilet. Whenever possible, we deliver porcelain fixtures to recycling facilities that crush and repurpose the material for roadbed or aggregate use, keeping waste out of Tennessee landfills. There is no extra fee for standard disposal.
How much does a toilet upgrade or replacement typically cost in the Lenoir City area?
Pricing varies with the model you choose, any plumbing or flange repairs needed, and whether flooring modifications are required. On average, customers spend $650–$1,200 for a mid-range one-piece toilet installed, while premium smart toilets can run $2,000+. We provide a detailed, written estimate after a quick on-site inspection—and we never start work until you approve the final price. Financing options are available for bigger projects.
Is my new toilet covered by a warranty, and what maintenance is required?
Most toilets we install carry a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty on the vitreous china and 1–5 years on internal components. One-Piece Designs Plumbing backs our workmanship with a 1-year labor guarantee. For maintenance, we recommend: (1) avoiding drop-in tank cleaners that can degrade seals, (2) inspecting the fill valve and flapper annually, and (3) using non-abrasive cleaners on the bowl. If you ever experience an issue within the warranty period, call us and we’ll handle the parts replacement and labor at no charge.
