FAQs
What is a comfort-height toilet and how does it differ from a standard toilet?
A comfort-height (sometimes called “chair-height” or ADA-height”) toilet has a seat that stands 17–19 inches from the floor, roughly 2–3 inches higher than a conventional 14–16-inch model. The extra height makes sitting down and standing up easier for taller users, seniors, and people with limited mobility, while still looking and operating like a traditional toilet.
Is a comfort-height toilet ADA compliant, and do I need a special permit in Luttrell to install one?
Most comfort-height toilets meet ADA guidelines when paired with the proper seat and flush handle placement. In Luttrell, residential installations generally don’t require a permit as long as plumbing connections remain in the same location, but commercial or public restrooms may need code review. Our licensed plumbers verify ADA compliance and handle any paperwork if a permit is necessary.
Will a comfort-height model fit my existing rough-in and bathroom layout?
Almost all comfort-height toilets are made in the common 12-inch rough-in size. If your current toilet is 10" or 14", or if space is tight, we’ll measure carefully and recommend a model with a compatible footprint and tank shape to avoid flooring gaps or wall interference. During our free on-site estimate in Luttrell we confirm all dimensions before ordering your new unit.
How much does upgrading to a comfort-height toilet cost, including installation?
Prices in the Luttrell area typically range from $475 to $950, covering the new comfort-height toilet, removal and disposal of the old unit, a new wax ring, supply line, and professional installation. Water-saving dual-flush or pressure-assist models add $75–$150. We provide a written quote upfront, and our work is backed by a two-year labor warranty.
How long does the replacement process take, and will my bathroom be out of service?
For a straightforward swap, our technicians can remove the old toilet and install the new comfort-height model in 1.5–2 hours. Your bathroom will be usable as soon as the final leak test is complete—usually the same visit. If floor repairs or flange adjustments are required, plan for an additional hour.
Are comfort-height toilets more difficult to maintain or repair?
No. Comfort-height toilets use the same internal components—fill valve, flapper, flush valve—as standard-height models and accept readily available replacement parts. Because they sit slightly higher, some homeowners find cleaning under the bowl rim easier. We include a maintenance guide and offer annual check-ups to keep your new fixture running efficiently.
