FAQs
When should I consider a toilet upgrade or full replacement?
You should think about replacing your toilet if it constantly blocks, leaks around the base, shows cracks in the porcelain, or is more than 15–20 years old and using excessive water per flush. Newer models are far more water-efficient and can reduce your water bills while improving flushing performance.
What kinds of toilets can your licensed plumbers install in Newcomb?
We supply and fit close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung, concealed cistern, and smart bidet toilets from leading Australian and international brands. If you’re unsure which style suits your bathroom layout or plumbing, we’ll inspect your space, explain the pros and cons of each type, and recommend the best option for your budget and water-efficiency goals.
Do I need council or Water Authority approval before replacing a toilet?
For a like-for-like toilet swap, no formal approval is usually required in the City of Greater Geelong. However, all sanitary plumbing work must be carried out by a Victorian licensed plumber and lodged with the Victorian Building Authority via a Certificate of Compliance. If the upgrade involves moving the toilet’s position or altering the sewer connection, we will handle any permits or compliance paperwork on your behalf.
How long does a standard toilet replacement take?
Most straightforward replacements are completed in 2–3 hours, including removal and disposal of the old suite, modification of inlet/outlet connections if needed, installation of the new unit, sealing, and final testing. Complex jobs—such as relocating the toilet or installing in-wall cisterns—may take a full day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after an on-site assessment.
What is the typical cost of a toilet upgrade in Newcomb?
Costs vary based on the toilet model you choose and any plumbing alterations required. As a guide, supply and installation of a quality close-coupled suite starts from around $650–$800. Back-to-wall or concealed-cistern options range from $900 to $1,500, while smart bidet toilets can exceed $2,000. We provide fixed-price quotes that include labour, materials, GST, removal of the old toilet, and certification.
Are your plumbers licensed and is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our plumbers are fully licensed with the Victorian Building Authority, carry up-to-date public liability insurance, and adhere to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500 for sanitary plumbing. We issue a VBA Certificate of Compliance for every toilet replacement, and our workmanship is guaranteed for six years. Manufacturer warranties for the toilet suite itself also apply, typically 10–15 years on the ceramic pan and 1–3 years on valves and mechanisms.
