Faucet and fixture installation
Kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, shower valves and other fixtures repaired or installed.
For your home
Running, leaking, rocking and clogged toilets repaired, and new toilets installed.
Most toilet problems come down to a few parts: the flapper that seals the tank, the fill valve that refills it, and the wax ring that seals the toilet to the drain in the floor. A toilet that runs on its own or rocks when you sit on it is wasting water or slowly leaking under the floor.
We repair the parts that can be repaired and replace the toilet when the bowl or tank is cracked or the fixture is worn out. If you are choosing a new toilet, we can talk through height, bowl shape and flush volume before it goes in.
We check the tank parts, the shut-off valve and the seal at the floor to find where the problem starts.
Worn flappers, fill valves and supply lines are replaced, and if the floor seal has failed, the toilet comes up and gets a new one.
We remove the old toilet, check the flange, the ring the toilet bolts to, and set the new toilet level and sealed.
We flush several times and check for leaks at the tank, the supply line and the floor.
Usually the flapper at the bottom of the tank no longer seals, so water seeps into the bowl and the tank refills to replace it. A few drops of food colouring in the tank will show it: if colour appears in the bowl without a flush, the flapper is leaking.
Yes. A toilet that moves can break the seal at the floor, letting water leak under the flooring each time it is flushed, often with no sign on the surface for a while.
New parts are usually worth it for a toilet in good condition. A cracked tank or bowl, or a toilet that clogs constantly, is usually better replaced.
