FAQs
What kinds of toilets can your Whitwell plumbers supply and install?
Our trusted partners work with a full range of modern fixtures—close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung, comfort-height, dual-flush, pressure-assisted and smart bidet toilets. We source from leading UK brands such as Ideal Standard, RAK, Toto and Geberit and can recommend models that match your space, budget and water-saving goals.
How do I know whether I should repair my existing toilet or replace it altogether?
Replacement is usually the smarter choice if your toilet is over 15 years old, has persistent leaks or cracks in the porcelain, requires frequent flapper or fill-valve repairs, wobbles because of sub-floor damage, or flushes inefficiently (older 13-litre cisterns). A new dual-flush model can cut water use by up to 60 %, and our Whitwell plumbers can perform a quick inspection to confirm whether repair or upgrade offers the best long-term value.
What is the typical cost of a toilet upgrade or replacement in Whitwell?
A like-for-like standard close-coupled replacement starts around £275–£350, including labour, mid-range fixture and disposal of the old unit. Wall-hung or smart bidet toilets range from £600 to £1,600 depending on frame, flush plate and electrical work. We provide fixed-price quotes after a free on-site survey, so there are no hidden charges for delivery, parts or waste removal.
How long does a toilet replacement take from start to finish?
Most straightforward swaps are completed in two to three hours. If we are relocating pipework, installing a wall frame or repairing damaged flooring, allow half to one full day. All work is scheduled at a time that minimises disruption, and water is only shut off for a short portion of the visit.
Will you handle removal and environmentally responsible disposal of my old toilet?
Yes. Our service is turnkey: we drain, unbolt and remove the existing fixture, transport it to a licensed recycling centre in Derbyshire, and supply statutory waste-transfer paperwork. Any salvageable porcelain is crushed for aggregate rather than being sent to landfill.
Do new toilets require building control approval in Whitwell?
In most cases, a like-for-like swap does not require Building Regulations approval. However, if we relocate soil stacks, penetrate external walls or run new electrical spurs for smart bidet seats, Part P (electrics) or Part H (drainage) may apply. Our Whitwell engineers are City & Guilds qualified, self-certify under the Competent Person Scheme and will handle any necessary notifications to Bolsover District Council on your behalf.
