FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogs, hairline cracks in the bowl or tank, constant running, noticeably higher water bills, and the need for repeated repairs are all indicators that replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective option. If your toilet was manufactured before 1994, it likely uses 3.5–7 gallons per flush, far more than modern WaterSense-certified models, making an upgrade particularly attractive.
What types of toilets can Reliable Bathroom Solutions install in Rutledge?
We carry a full range of two-piece, one-piece, wall-hung, comfort-height, skirted, dual-flush, and pressure-assisted toilets from leading brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber. Whether you want a space-saving elongated bowl, a bidet combo seat, or a high-efficiency model that uses just 0.8 gpf, we can recommend and install the best option for your household and Rutledge’s plumbing codes.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and what can I expect during the visit?
Most standard replacements are completed in 2–3 hours. Our licensed technician will shut off the water, drain and remove the old toilet, inspect the flange, supply line, and shut-off valve, install a new wax or rubber seal, set and level the new toilet, reconnect the water line, test for leaks, and haul away the old unit—leaving your bathroom clean and fully functional before we leave.
Will installing a high-efficiency toilet really lower my water bills in Rutledge?
Yes. Older toilets can use up to 7 gallons per flush, whereas today’s WaterSense models use 1.28 gpf or less. In a typical four-person household, that can translate to 13,000–16,000 gallons saved per year, equating to roughly $110–$150 in annual utility savings based on Grainger County water rates.
Do you handle disposal of the old toilet and any necessary permits?
Absolutely. Reliable Bathroom Solutions removes and responsibly recycles or disposes of your old fixture at no extra charge. If the City of Rutledge or Grainger County requires a minor plumbing permit for flange repair or line relocation, we obtain it and include the cost in your written estimate, so there are no surprises.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost and what factors influence pricing?
Costs generally range from $450 for a basic two-piece installation to $1,200+ for premium one-piece or pressure-assisted models. The final price depends on the toilet brand and features, any flange or drainpipe repairs, floor or subfloor damage, and whether shut-off valves or supply lines need upgrading. We provide a transparent, itemized quote after an on-site evaluation, and all work is backed by our parts and labor warranty.
