Signs You Should Call a Toilet Repair Plumber
Small toilet problems can turn into water damage, sewer gas leaks, and rising water bills. These are the common warning signs we fix, and what the repair involves.
Toilet Constantly Runs After Flushing
A toilet that keeps running after you flush is usually caused by a worn flapper, fill valve failure, or mineral buildup from hard water. If it’s ignored, it can waste hundreds of liters of water per day and increase your bill fast.
We replace the failed parts, set the water level correctly, and confirm the tank seals properly so the toilet shuts off when it should.
Water Leaks at the Base or Tank
Water pooling at the base or dripping from the tank is often caused by a failed wax ring, loose connections, or a cracked component. Left alone, it can damage flooring and subfloors and lead to mold.
We remove and reset the toilet with a reinforced wax ring as needed, tighten or replace hardware, and pressure-test the toilet to confirm there are no leaks and the installation meets code.
Toilet Wobbling or Shifting
A toilet that rocks or shifts is commonly caused by loose bolts, a damaged flange, or an uneven floor. If it’s not fixed, it can break the wax seal, create hidden leaks, and allow sewer gas into the bathroom.
We lift and inspect the toilet, repair or replace the flange or bolts if needed, reset the toilet level, and secure it so it stays stable.
Frequent or Persistent Clogging
Clogs that keep coming back can point to a blockage deeper in the drain line, pipe scale, root intrusion, or older piping that no longer clears well, and may need drain cleaning and repair to fully clear the obstruction.
If it keeps happening, a sewer camera inspection can pinpoint the blockage before it causes a backup or damage to the toilet or surrounding surfaces.
We clear the line with a toilet auger or hydro jetting when appropriate, then confirm proper flow and recommend replacement only if the toilet itself is worn out or inefficient.
If you’re seeing any of these issues, contact a plumber to get the toilet repaired or replaced before it turns into a larger problem.
Toilet Repair vs Replacement Decisions
Repair and replacement both make sense in different situations, and if the problem is tied to a larger drainage issue, we may recommend drain cleaning and repair first. We walk you through the condition of the toilet, the cause of the problem, and the cost-benefit based on the age of the unit and the type of failure.
Flapper, Fill Valve, and Minor Repairs
Leaks, slow tank filling, and weak flushing are often caused by worn flappers, faulty fill valves, or loose handles. If not repaired, these problems waste water and reduce flush performance.
We replace the failed parts, tune the flush, and confirm that the toilet refills and shuts off correctly. For toilets under 10 years old, repair is usually the best option, and minor repairs commonly stay under $300, including labor.
Base Leaks and Flange Shifts
Leaks at the base, wobbling, and sewer smells often indicate wax ring or flange issues. If ignored, they can cause subfloor damage and recurring leaks. We remove the toilet, inspect the flange, replace seals and hardware, and check for floor damage before reinstalling.
If the toilet is older and the repair total approaches $200 to $300, replacement is often the more practical long-term option.
When Replacement Makes More Sense
Cracks in the bowl or tank, frequent repairs, persistent leaks, or toilets over 15 years old usually point to replacement. Waiting often means higher water bills and a higher chance of damage.
We remove the old toilet, verify the flange and shutoff condition, install the new unit, and haul away the old fixture. Many standard toilet replacements typically fall between $300 and $800, depending on the model and any needed corrections to the flange, valve, or supply line.
Upgrades and Rebates in California
High-efficiency toilet installations may qualify for rebates up to $100 through local water programs, depending on current availability.
If rebates are available, we help confirm the requirements and install a compliant model, including meeting Title 24 and HOA requirements when applicable.
To get the most reliable result, we help you weigh repair versus replacement for your Murrieta home with transparent pricing and proven local expertise.
How We Handle Toilet Services
We keep the process simple and predictable, with clear diagnosis, clean work, and testing before we leave.
Careful Inspection of Every Part
We check the visible problem first, then inspect the tank components, base seal, flange condition, shutoff valve, supply line, and drain performance to confirm the true cause.
Clear Diagnosis with Expert Advice
We explain what failed, why it happened, and what it takes to fix it. If replacement is the better choice, we break down the practical reasons and cost difference so you can decide with clear information.
Repairs or Installation of New Units
We complete the repair using quality parts and confirm the toilet operates correctly. For installations, we set the flange and seal correctly, reconnect the water supply, and verify stable mounting.

Qualifying services include warranty coverage. If you have questions after the job, we can help with the next steps and maintenance guidance.
Final Removal of Old Fixtures
For replacements, we disconnect and remove the old toilet carefully and protect nearby floors and fixtures. We dispose of the old unit and keep the work area controlled during removal.
Site Cleanup and Final Testing
We remove tools and debris from the area, then complete a flush and leak test at the tank, base, and supply connection. We confirm stable seating and proper shutoff before we leave.
