How Much Does a Toilet Replacement Cost?
It depends on two things more than anything else: the toilet itself, and what's under the old one when it comes out.
The toilet is the first variable. You can buy your own or we can supply it. If you supply it, you're paying for the fitting. If we supply it, the toilet is added on top, and the range is wide. A standard floor-standing toilet and a wall-hung one with a concealed cistern are very different products, and very different jobs to fit.
Time is the second. A standard replacement is one engineer and around two hours. Wall-hung and concealed cistern toilets take longer, and sometimes need more than one visit, so the cost goes up with them.
Then there are the parts. We'll often replace the pan connector, because the old one is rarely worth reusing once it's been disturbed. The flexible hose gets replaced where it needs it, and where there's no isolation valve we'll fit one where we can. None of those are big items, but they're what makes it a proper job rather than a quick swap.
The last variable is whatever turns up. A waste outlet in a different position to the new toilet, or tired pipework behind the old one, can change the job. If anything significant comes to light we'll tell you before going ahead, so nothing lands on you as a surprise at the end.
Taking the old toilet away is usually part of it. If you've supplied the new toilet yourself, we agree beforehand whether we remove the old one or leave it with you.
Whoever you use, ask what the price includes. Is the pan connector in it? Is the isolation valve? Is the old toilet being taken away? Those are the three things that tend to separate one price from another, and it's better to find out before the day than on it.
