FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a modern flush-technology toilet in Seymour?
Newer toilets use advanced dual-flush or pressure-assisted mechanisms that can cut water consumption by up to 65 %. They also reduce the likelihood of clogs, offer quieter flushing, and often include comfort-height bowls, soft-close seats, and sleek designs that update the look of your bathroom and increase property value.
How much water can I expect to save by replacing my old toilet?
Standard toilets installed before the mid-1990s can use 11–13 L per flush. Modern 4-star WELS-rated dual-flush toilets use 4.5 L for a full flush and 3 L for a half flush—around 70 % less. For a typical family of four in Seymour, that can mean saving roughly 50,000 L of water and $120–$150 on water bills each year.
Do I need council approval or a plumbing permit for a toilet replacement in Seymour?
Simple like-for-like swaps usually require no council permit as long as a licensed plumber performs the work and the new fixture meets the WaterMark and WELS standards. If you are relocating the toilet, altering drainage, or adding a new bathroom, a plumbing permit and possibly a building permit from Mitchell Shire Council will be required. We handle all compliance paperwork on your behalf.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will I be left without a working toilet?
Most straightforward replacements take about 2–3 hours, including removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange and shut-off valve, installation of the new toilet, and a final leak test. We coordinate with you to ensure you have at least one operational toilet at all times; downtime is usually under 30 minutes.
What happens to my old toilet once it’s removed?
We transport the old toilet to an approved recycling facility where porcelain is crushed for road base or construction aggregate, and metal parts are separated for scrap recycling. This service is included in our quoted price, so you don’t have to worry about landfill disposal or extra fees.
How much does a flush-technology toilet upgrade cost in Seymour?
Pricing depends on the model you choose and any plumbing modifications required. As a guide, supply and install of a quality dual-flush close-coupled toilet starts at $550, while back-to-wall or concealed-cistern units range from $880 to $1,600. Pressure-assisted commercial-grade options can be higher. All quotes are fixed-price and include the new toilet, labour, removal of the old unit, GST, and a 6-year workmanship warranty.
