FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace rather than repair my existing toilet?
In Cowan’s older homes, toilets that frequently clog, leak at the base, have cracked porcelain, or consume more than 6 litres per flush are prime candidates for replacement. A modern dual-flush or low-flow model can cut water use by up to 60 %, lowering utility bills and preventing costly water-damage repairs down the track.
What is included in your seamless toilet installation service?
Our Cowan plumbing team handles everything: onsite assessment, help selecting a suitable model, removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, supply of quality isolation valves and pan collars, installation to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500, silicone sealing, cistern tuning, and a full post-installation clean-up. We also test for leaks and provide a workmanship warranty before we leave.
How long does a typical toilet upgrade take from start to finish?
Most straightforward replacements in Cowan are completed in 2–3 hours. Complex jobs—such as relocating the toilet, repairing subfloor rot, or upgrading from S-trap to P-trap—can extend to half a day. We schedule your appointment in a two-hour arrival window and keep spare parts on the truck to avoid delays.
Do I need council approval or any permits for a toilet replacement?
For a like-for-like toilet swap in Cowan, no council approval is needed because the work is classified as minor plumbing maintenance. If you’re relocating the toilet, altering drainage lines, or adding an additional WC, we submit a Section 68 application to Hornsby Shire Council and handle the paperwork and compliance certificate on your behalf.
What types of toilets do you recommend for water efficiency and accessibility?
We supply WaterMark-certified dual-flush units rated 4–5 stars under the WELS scheme, including rimless, back-to-wall, and concealed-cistern options. For accessibility, we offer raised-pan heights (460 mm), soft-close seats, and grab-rail compatibility. All recommended models come with at least a 10-year porcelain warranty.
How much does a toilet replacement cost in Cowan, and are there hidden fees?
Prices start from $480 inc. GST for a standard back-to-wall replacement, which covers the new toilet suite, labour, disposal, and a minor flange swap. Extras such as flange re-alignment, floor repairs, or after-hours service are quoted upfront, so you’ll never face surprise charges. We accept EFTPOS, credit card, and Zip Pay for interest-free terms.
