FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my current toilet?
Modern toilets use as little as 4–6 L per flush compared with the 9–13 L used by older models, cutting household water consumption by up to 30 %. They also offer more reliable flushing mechanisms, quieter operation and contemporary styling that can refresh the whole bathroom. In many cases the water-savings alone pay for the upgrade within a few years.
What types of modern toilets do you install in Guild?
We install close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung, comfort-height and smart toilets. Options include dual-flush cisterns, rimless bowls for easier cleaning, soft-close seats, integrated bidet functions and touch-free flush plates. All products are WRAS-approved and suited to UK plumbing standards.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
A straightforward like-for-like replacement usually takes 2–3 hours, including removal of the old unit, inspection of pipework and fitting the new toilet. If you’re changing the location of the toilet or moving soil pipe connections, allow half to a full day. We schedule work to minimise disruption and always leave the area clean and usable before we leave.
Will the new toilet fit my existing plumbing connections?
Before any installation we carry out a free site survey in Guild to measure soil pipe height, distance from the wall and water-supply position. Most modern pans have adaptable outlets or we can fit an offset pan connector to line up with your existing pipework. If alterations are required we’ll explain the options and provide a fixed quotation before proceeding.
What does a toilet upgrade cost and will it lower my bills?
Supply and installation for a quality dual-flush toilet in Guild typically ranges from £280–£550, depending on style and any pipework modifications. Smart bidet models start around £900 installed. With water charges averaging £2.20 per cubic metre, households switching from a 13 L to a 4.5/3 L dual-flush can save 30 – 40 m³ per year—about £65–£90—so the upgrade often pays for itself in 3–5 years.
Do you remove the old toilet and what warranties are included?
Yes, we disconnect and dispose of your old toilet in accordance with local regulations at no extra charge. All new toilets come with the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 5–10 years on ceramics and 2 years on mechanical parts. Our labour is guaranteed for 12 months, and if any issue arises within that period we’ll return promptly to rectify it free of charge.
