Expert Toilet Repair & Installation in the Inland Empire

The toilet that runs all night, the one that rocks when you sit down, the one that clogs every other day. Nobody wants to live with any of them, and most of the time the fix is quicker than people expect. Sanborn's has been taking care of Inland Empire bathrooms since 1949. 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.

Our 5 Star Satisfaction Guarantee covers every toilet we touch. We protect your flooring, haul away the old unit, and leave the bathroom cleaner than we found it. For homeowners near the University of Redlands and across the valley, that kind of tidy, no surprises service is the whole point.

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.

Warning Signs

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.

Common Questions

Toilet Repair & Installation FAQs

Why does my toilet run on and off by itself?

Usually a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve is letting water slip from the tank into the bowl. It's a small part, but a running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day.

What is a comfort height toilet?

It's a toilet with a taller bowl, similar to a standard chair height, which many people find easier to sit down on and stand up from. It's a popular choice for older adults and anyone with knee trouble.

How long does toilet installation take?

A straightforward replacement is often finished in one to two hours. If the floor flange or subfloor needs repair, it can take a bit longer.

Can I install a new toilet on my own?

It's possible, but the details matter. A poor seal at the base can leak into the floor for months before anyone notices. We make sure it's level, sealed, and tested.

What is a dual flush toilet?

It has two flush options, a smaller one for liquid waste and a larger one for solid. That saves water over time while still flushing effectively.

Why does my toilet keep clogging?

Causes include a weak flush, too much paper, items that shouldn't be flushed, or a blockage further down the line. If clogs are frequent, we check the drain behind the toilet as well.
