Toilet work we do and the usual complaints
A toilet is a bowl, a tank, a flapper, and a seal to the floor. Most calls are one of those four.
Repair
- Fill valve that will not shut off
- Flapper ghost-flush
- Rocking bowl, failed wax ring
- Cracked tank or handle
Clogs
- Plunger did not hold
- Overflow at the rim
- Slow flush, then backup
- Main-line vs. fixture clog
Set it level, seal it, and make sure it flushes
Posted install labor is $150 for a standard swap: old toilet off, flange checked, new wax or foam seal, new bowl set, tank bolted, supply hooked up, flush tested. If the closet flange is broken or below the finished floor — common in older Worcester baths with layered vinyl — that repair happens first and is extra labor, quoted before we leave a rocking bowl on a bad ring.
Clogs from $200 cover a fixture clog we can clear from the bowl. If the snake says the blockage is in the main, that is toilet drain / main sewer work, not a $200 plunge. We will tell you which it is. You supply the toilet; we do not lock you into a showroom model. 61 Sandra Dr.
Labor and materials
Toilet installation — $150 labor. Toilet clog — $200. The fixture, wax ring, supply line, and flange repair parts are separate. Materials are separate from labor.
Measure the rough-in (usually 12 inches from wall to bolt centers) before you buy. A 10-inch rough in a tight Worcester bath will not take a 12-inch bowl. Call or text (508) 335-3306 if you are unsure.
Small habits that save a floor
- If the bowl rocks, stop using it until the seal is redone. That is how you get a soft subfloor.
- A tank that refills every twenty minutes is a flapper, not “the water company.”
- Wipes, even the ones that say flushable, belong in the trash in this city’s older clay and cast laterals.
- Keep a working shutoff at the wall. If it is painted still, say so when you book — we will free or replace it.
Frequently asked questions
Does $150 include the toilet?
No. $150 is labor for a standard install. You buy the toilet. If the flange is broken or the floor is rotted, that is additional labor we quote before we proceed.
What is a rough-in?
The distance from the finished wall to the center of the closet bolts. Most are 12 inches. Measure before you purchase. Wrong rough-in means the tank hits the wall or sits too far out.
The clog came back. Do I pay $200 again?
If we cleared a fixture clog and it returns because the main is restricted, the next visit is drain work, not another plunger charge. We would rather camera the line than take the same $200 three times.
Can you install a toilet I already bought?
Yes. Have it in the house, still boxed if you can, with the supply line and bolts. We bring wax rings and the tools to set it.
There is water at the base. Is the wax ring gone?
Often. It can also be the tank-to-bowl gasket or the supply nut. We dry it, dye-test if needed, and replace the failed seal instead of guessing.
