FAQs
When should I consider upgrading or replacing my toilet in Newcomb?
Common signs include frequent blockages, visible cracks or leaks around the base, constantly running water, high water bills due to an old single-flush system, and difficulty finding replacement parts for a discontinued model. If you experience any of these issues—or simply want a modern look and better water efficiency—an upgrade is advisable.
What types of toilets can your plumbers install?
We supply and install close-coupled, back-to-wall, concealed cistern, wall-hung, rimless, and smart bidet toilets from leading Australian brands. All new units meet current WaterMark and WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) requirements, ensuring compliance with Victorian plumbing regulations.
How much does a typical toilet replacement cost in Newcomb?
Pricing depends on the toilet style, brand, and any additional plumbing work (such as relocating the waste or water inlet). As a guide, a like-for-like close-coupled replacement starts from about $550 installed, while premium wall-hung or smart toilets can range from $1,500 to $3,000+. We provide free on-site quotes so you know the exact cost before work begins.
How long will the toilet upgrade take?
For a straightforward like-for-like replacement, we usually complete the job in 1.5 to 2 hours, including removal of the old unit and site clean-up. More complex installations—such as wall-hung pans requiring in-wall cistern framing—may take half a day to a full day. We schedule work at a time that minimises disruption to your household.
Can a new toilet really save on water bills?
Absolutely. Older single-flush toilets can use 11–12 L per flush, whereas modern dual-flush models use as little as 4.5 L for a full flush and 3 L for a half flush. For a family of four, this can reduce annual water usage by more than 20,000 L, translating to noticeable savings on Barwon Water bills while helping the environment.
Do you provide warranties for toilet upgrades and what after-sales support is available?
Yes. All toilets we install carry a manufacturer’s warranty—typically 10 years on vitreous china and 1–3 years on internal parts. Our workmanship is covered by a 6-year VBA-backed plumbing compliance certificate. Should any issues arise, simply call our local Newcomb office and we’ll schedule prompt service or repair under warranty.
