Seattle toilet repair & installation
Sometimes the call is genuinely an emergency. Sometimes it's a Monday morning fix. We'll be honest about which one yours is. Three things you can count on: we show up when we say we will, we quote before we work, and we don't pad the bill.
Scope of work
Toilets are the highest-volume small-repair call we run. Three things go wrong most often: the flapper, the fill valve, and the wax ring at the base.
Running toilets waste 1.5 to 6 gallons per minute. A $145–$235 fix saves you about $180 a year on the water bill, often more.
If you have a 1992-or-older 3.5-gallon-per-flush toilet, swapping to a modern 1.28 gpf high-efficiency model pays back the install in 18–30 months on water savings alone, especially in cities with tiered water rates.
What's specific about Seattle jobs
Around here, the most common calls we run come from older homes near the city center and newer subdivisions on the fringe — different problems, same crews.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.
Fair pricing for this work
Running toilet fix runs $180 – $295. Wax ring / flange repair runs $275 – $560. Toilet replacement runs $475 – $800. High-efficiency upgrade runs $650 – $1,060.

One we ran last year
Last spring we got a call from a homeowner near the north Seattle. Toilet running every 20 minutes. Diagnosis: failed flapper. We replaced the flapper and the fill valve, ran the test, and were out the door in the same visit. Total: $675 including parts.
