Is It Time for a New Toilet?
If your toilet is older, clogs often or runs no matter how many parts you replace, a new one may save money and hassle. Today's toilets use far less water per flush and clear the bowl well. Comfort-height models are easier for many people to use. If the floor around the old toilet is soft, we'll check the flange and subfloor before setting the new one, so it doesn't rock or leak later.
What Affects the Price of Toilet Work
Small parts like flappers and fill valves are quick fixes. Resetting a toilet on a new seal takes longer. In older homes, a corroded flange or soft floor can add work. A new toilet depends on the model. We check first and quote one flat price.

Thank you Christian and Julian! [...]"
