FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace rather than repair my current toilet?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running water, rising water bills, or the need for multiple repairs in a short period are strong indicators that replacement is more cost-effective than repair. Modern toilets also use as little as 4.8 L (1.28 gal) per flush versus older models that can use 13 L (3.5 gal) or more, so upgrading can immediately lower your utility costs.
What toilet styles and options can Reliance install during an upgrade?
We supply and install a full range of one-piece, two-piece, wall-hung, and comfort-height toilets, as well as smart toilets with bidet functions, heated seats, and automatic flushing. High-efficiency dual-flush and pressure-assist models are also available, and our technicians can help you choose the right rough-in size, bowl shape (elongated or round), and seat height for your space and comfort.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off all day?
A standard swap of a like-for-like toilet usually takes 90 minutes to two hours. More complex work—such as moving the flange, installing a wall-hung carrier, or repairing damaged flooring—can extend the visit by a few hours. Water is generally shut off only at the fixture’s angle stop, so service to the rest of your home remains on. Full-house shut-offs are rarely necessary and, if required, last 15–20 minutes.
What does a toilet replacement cost and what’s included in Reliance’s quote?
Pricing varies based on the toilet model, any flange repairs, and disposal fees, but most standard replacements fall between $450 and $1,200 installed. Our written quote includes the new fixture, a wax or rubber ring, new bolts, a supply line, labour, haul-away of the old toilet, and a post-installation leak and flush test. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing—no surprises when the job is done.
Do I need a permit or inspection when changing out a toilet?
For a straightforward fixture-for-fixture replacement that doesn’t alter drain lines or venting, municipal permits and inspections are generally not required. If we relocate the toilet, modify the drainage system, or work on multi-unit buildings where plumbing stacks are affected, local codes may call for permits and inspections. Reliance handles all required paperwork and scheduling whenever permits are needed.
How are old toilets disposed of, and is there a warranty on the new installation?
Reliance recycles porcelain tanks and bowls whenever local facilities allow; otherwise, they are disposed of in compliance with municipal regulations. Any remaining components are sorted for metal and plastic recycling. We back our workmanship with a 1-year labour warranty, and most fixtures carry a 5- to 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty. If a defect or installation issue arises within the warranty period, we will repair or replace the toilet at no additional cost.
