Upgrade Option

Choosing a New Toilet

If you're replacing a toilet, a few choices matter. Comfort height is easier for many adults. An elongated bowl is more comfortable but needs more space. Check the rough-in, the distance from the wall to the bolts, which is usually 12 inches. Modern toilets use far less water per flush than older ones and still clear well. We'll help you choose one that fits.

Pricing

What Affects the Price of Toilet Work

A flapper or fill valve is a quick repair. Resetting a toilet on a new seal takes a little longer. A damaged flange or a soft subfloor adds work. A new toilet depends on the model and whether you supply it. We look first, explain the options and quote a flat price.
