Toilet Replacement & Repair

Sometimes, it can be difficult to decipher whether repairs are needed, or if a full replacement is necessary. Here’s a short guide that might help steer you in the right direction when deciding between repairing your toilet or replacing it:

Repair may be necessary if the toilet:

• Is Relatively New: If your toilet is less than ten years old and still in good condition, calculating repair costs might be the more cost-effective option.
• Is Only Experiencing Minor Issues: Common toilet problems like a running toilet, a minor clog, or a loose handle are all easily fixable. In many cases, this just means that something like a small part needs to be replaced to fix the issue.

Replacement might be necessary if:

• Repairs Are Needed Frequently: If you find yourself having to repair the same issue multiple times, replacement might be more cost-effective.
• There Are Multiple Issues: If you’re experiencing several issues, like toilet leaks, cracks, or consistent clogs, the cost of repair could eventually outweigh the cost of a toilet replacement.
• The Model Is Outdated: Many older toilets are notorious for contributing to water waste and higher water bills. Upgrading to a higher-efficiency toilet can not only save you money on your water bill but also modernize the look of your bathroom.
