FAQs
When should I replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Replacement is usually the best choice if the porcelain bowl or tank is cracked, you experience constant clogs or leaks, the toilet was made before 1994 and uses more than 3.5 gallons per flush, or the internal parts have failed multiple times. Upgrading also makes sense if you want a more comfortable height, lower water bills, or a refreshed bathroom look.
What kinds of new toilets can you install in Dayton homes?
We carry a wide selection of WaterSense-certified high-efficiency toilets (1.28 gpf), dual-flush models, comfort-height/ADA-compliant units, skirted one-piece designs that are easier to clean, and smart toilets with bidet seats or touchless flushing. Popular brands we stock include Kohler, American Standard, Toto, Gerber, and Mansfield. We make sure the rough-in (usually 12 in.) matches your existing drain outlet so the installation is seamless.
How long does a complete toilet replacement take?
Most residential replacements are finished in about 2–4 hours. That timeframe covers draining and removing the old unit, inspecting or replacing the wax ring and closet flange, installing the new shut-off valve and supply line if needed, setting the new toilet, and performing a full leak and flush test. Because we keep common models in stock, same-day service is often available across Dayton and surrounding suburbs.
Do I need a permit to change out a toilet in Dayton?
For a straight “swap-out” in a single-family home—where the drain location is unchanged—the City of Dayton does not require a plumbing permit. If the project involves relocating the flange, cutting into drain or vent piping, or is in a multi-family/commercial setting, a permit and inspection are required. Our licensed plumbers will let you know up front and handle any permitting whenever it is necessary.
How much does it cost to upgrade or replace a toilet?
Typical turn-key pricing in the Dayton area ranges from $450 to $1,200. The final cost depends on the toilet model you choose, whether the flange needs repair, if the shut-off valve or supply line is replaced, and whether disposal fees apply. We provide a free onsite or virtual estimate so you know the full price before any work begins.
Will installing a new toilet help lower my water bill?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush—20–60 % less water than older 3.5–5.0 gpf fixtures. According to EPA estimates, a family of four can save more than 13,000 gallons and up to $110 a year in water and sewer charges. Many new toilets also qualify for rebates through the City of Dayton and Montgomery County, further reducing the net cost of upgrading.
