New toilet installed
If you're not ready for a new toilet suite we also repair toilets and cisterns. Some common issues with toilets require only a simple repair, such as the replacement of worn inlet/outlet valves or flush cone rubbers. Other apparent toilet problems may be caused by deeper issues such as blocked or damaged sewer pipes. Whatever your situation, Chivers Plumbing will be able to provide you with the best advice and course of action.
Signs your toilet needs attention:
In many cases it will be cheaper to repair than replace. This is of course dependent upon many factors including the age and overall condition of the toilet suite. Quite often we find it makes more sense economically to replace the entire unit, plus you get the added benefits of having a much nicer, cleaner looking suite that uses far less water.
If you're replacing an existing toilet suite and the plumbing is already installed, the first thing to consider is whether you need an S trap (the waste exits through the floor) or a P trap (the waste exits through the wall). S traps are the more common of the two. Many newer models of toilet suite are suitable for either system.
Where is the water inlet? Your system may either have a water inlet hidden behind the cistern or a bottom inlet. A bottom inlet suite will have a tap and flexible hose located near the floor on one side of the cistern. You need to ensure that there is enough space for the toilet pan to fit without compromising the position of the tap.
With your current toilet in place, you will need to measure the distance from the wall to the center of the waste pipe to make sure that new replacement toilet will fit.
Call us if you are unsure of any of these requirements. We will be able to recommend a new toilet that is compatible with your existing plumbing installation.
If the new toilet is a straight swap for your old suite, using your existing plumbing, the entire job will usually be completed within a couple of hours. If new plumbing services are required or it is necessary to unclog or repair sewerage pipes it will obviously take considerably longer and so be more expensive.
The cost of the actual toilet suite can also vary enormously. A basic but functional suite can be purchased for a few hundred dollars. A premium suite with a hidden cistern and in-built bidet functions may cost in the thousands of dollars.
