FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet in Duff should be replaced rather than repaired?
Persistent clogs, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, water pooling around the base, a wobbly or rocking toilet, and high water consumption (older 13-litre/3.5-gallon models) are all indicators that a replacement is the smarter long-term option. If internal parts are no longer manufactured or repair costs approach 50 % of a new unit, our plumbers generally recommend upgrading instead of patching.
Which high-efficiency or water-saving toilets do you install?
We install WaterSense-certified 4.8 Lpf/1.28 gpf single-flush models, dual-flush units (typically 3 L/4.8 L or 0.8 gpf/1.28 gpf), pressure-assisted toilets for commercial settings, comfort-height bowls, and skirted or one-piece designs that simplify cleaning. Brands we commonly supply in Duff include Toto, American Standard, Kohler, Gerber, and Mansfield. Our team can also add integrated bidet seats or smart-toilet features if you want maximum hygiene and comfort.
How long will a standard toilet replacement take, and will my bathroom be out of service for the whole day?
Most straight swap-outs take 1.5â3 hours, including removing the old toilet, prepping the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting and leveling the new bowl, reconnecting the water supply, and leak-testing. You only lose use of that bathroom during the job; the rest of your homeâs plumbing stays operational. If we discover flange damage, sub-floor rot, or need to move the rough-in, weâll discuss extra time and costs before proceeding.
Can I install a new toilet myself, or should I hire a professional plumber?
DIY installation is possible, but common mistakesâimproper wax-ring seating, misaligned flanges, over-tightened bolts, or incorrect ventingâlead to leaks, odours, mould, and costly floor repairs. A licensed Duff plumber ensures the fixture is set to code, the shut-off valve and supply lines are sound, and the flange height and slope meet local building requirements. We also provide labour warranties and haul away the old unit, saving you time and stress.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost in Duff, and what factors affect pricing?
Installed prices usually run $350â$1,200, depending on the toilet model, flushing technology, rough-in size (10", 12", or 14"), the need for flange repair or floor shimming, supply-line upgrades, and whether a permit or water-efficiency rebate is involved. We give free, no-obligation quotes that outline fixture cost, labour, minor materials, and optional disposal fees so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Will you dispose of my old toilet, and is it done in an environmentally responsible way?
Yes. Our plumbers remove the old fixture, seal it in plastic to prevent mess, and transport it to an approved Duff recycling facility. Porcelain is crushed for road base or concrete aggregate when possible, metal hardware is separated for scrap recycling, and any salvageable internal parts are donated to local building-reuse centres. This keeps bulky waste out of landfill and complies with Duff municipal waste bylaws.
