FAQs
What does your transparent pricing for toilet upgrades and replacements in Niota include?
Our up-front quote covers every aspect of the job: the new toilet of your choice (standard, comfort-height, or high-efficiency model), all shut-off valves, supply lines, wax ring, disposal of the old unit, labor, and applicable sales tax for Niota, TN. You’ll see the final price before we schedule the work—no hidden trip charges, fuel surcharges, or after-hours fees.
How can I tell if my toilet should be repaired or completely replaced?
We recommend replacement when the porcelain bowl or tank is cracked, when repeated clogging is caused by worn internal glazing, or when repair costs exceed 50% of a new, water-saving unit. During our free inspection we test for leaks, check the flush valve, and measure water use. We explain the findings in plain language and show you the price difference between repair and replacement so you can decide with confidence.
What kinds of toilets do you install and how do prices vary?
We stock standard two-piece toilets, one-piece models, comfort-height ADA-compliant bowls, and ultra-high-efficiency dual-flush units. Supply-house pricing ranges from $225 for a basic 1.6-gpf two-piece to $640 for a skirted, one-piece dual-flush toilet. Add $249 for our flat-rate installation. Because we buy in volume, you pay what we pay—parts are invoiced at cost and labor is a fixed fee, so the estimate you approve is the amount on your final bill.
How long will the replacement take and will my water be shut off?
Most residential replacements take 60-90 minutes. We shut off water only to the bathroom being serviced; the rest of your home remains operational. Once the new toilet is in place, we turn the water back on, test for leaks, and perform a 10-minute dye test to ensure a tight seal before leaving.
Do you remove and dispose of the old toilet? Is that an extra charge?
Yes. Environmentally responsible removal, hauling, and recycling of your old porcelain are built into our flat rate. We break the unit down, separate metal from porcelain, and deliver it to a certified recycling center in McMinn County—no extra fees and no surprise costs.
Are permits or inspections required in Niota, and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Toilet replacements in existing bathrooms usually don’t require a municipal permit in Niota, but we file one at no cost if a supply line reroute or drain modification is needed. All workmanship is warranted for 2 years, and manufacturer warranties on the toilet itself range from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the model. If you experience any leak or flush issue tied to our installation within 24 months, we return and fix it free of charge.
