FAQs
What signs indicate that I should replace my toilet rather than repair it?
Persistent clogging, cracked porcelain, frequent leaks around the base, rising water bills, and outdated 3.5-gallon or larger tanks are strong signals a toilet has reached the end of its life. If repairs would cost more than half the price of a new, water-efficient model, replacement is typically the smarter investment.
How much does a typical toilet replacement cost in Thorn Hill?
For standard models, most Thorn Hill homeowners spend $550–$850, which includes the new toilet, removal and disposal of the old unit, upgraded supply line, wax ring, labor, and basic cleanup. Premium comfort-height or smart bidet toilets can run $1,200–$3,000+, while simple swap-outs of homeowner-supplied fixtures may be as low as $350.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons or less per flush, saving up to 16,500 gallons of water per household each year versus older 3.5-gallon models. Dual-flush designs let you choose a lower flush (≈0.8 gpf) for liquids and a full flush (≈1.28 gpf) for solids, further reducing water usage and utility bills. Modern toilets also feature glazed trapways for fewer clogs, taller comfort heights, soft-close seats, and sleek designs that improve bathroom aesthetics.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take and will my water need to be shut off?
A licensed plumber typically completes a straightforward replacement in 60–90 minutes. Complex jobs—such as flange repairs, valve relocations, or floor leveling—can extend the visit to 2–4 hours. The plumber will turn off water only to the affected fixture, so the rest of your home’s plumbing remains functional during the work.
Do you handle disposal of my old toilet and the cleanup afterward?
Yes. Our Thorn Hill-based plumbing team removes the old toilet, recycles or responsibly disposes of it per local bylaws, and hauls away all packaging. We sanitize the work area, test for leaks, and leave your bathroom as clean as we found it—no extra disposal fees or mess left behind.
Are permits required for toilet replacement in Thorn Hill and are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Simple like-for-like toilet swaps usually do not need a municipal permit in Thorn Hill. However, if piping, venting, or drain reconfiguration is involved, a permit may be required. All our plumbers hold valid Ontario trade licenses, carry $5 million liability coverage, and are fully WSIB-insured, ensuring your project meets code and is protected from start to finish.
