We diagnose the problem, tell you whether a repair or a new toilet makes more sense, and give you a flat rate price before any work starts.

What Our Toilet Service Covers
Most toilet repairs come down to a handful of parts. A constantly running toilet usually needs a new flapper or fill valve, and a leak at the base typically means the wax ring has failed. A weak flush can be caused by clogged rim jets, which hard water scale loves to block. We replace worn parts, reseat loose toilets, and clear stubborn clogs without damaging the porcelain.
When it's time for a new toilet, we handle the full installation. We confirm the rough in distance, which is the measurement from the wall to the drain, so the new toilet fits properly. We can help you choose among standard, comfort height, and dual flush models. California requires toilets to use no more than 1.28 gallons per flush, and the modern ones do it well, so you save water without sacrificing performance.

Signs It's Time to Replace Instead of Repair
-
Your toilet is more than twenty years old.
Older toilets can use three gallons or more per flush, which wastes water and shows up on your bill. A modern unit can cut that dramatically.
-
You see cracks in the bowl or tank.
Hairline cracks can start as a slow leak and end in a flooded bathroom. Cracked porcelain can't be repaired.
-
The toilet clogs often even when it's used normally.
Frequent clogs suggest a weak flush design, and newer models handle waste far better than many from earlier decades.
-
The base rocks or the floor around it is soft or stained.
A long term leak at the base can damage the subfloor. If the floor has been affected, we should address that along with the toilet.
