How Much Should a Toilet Repair Cost You?
The precise cost of a toilet repair depends on various factors, like the following:
- Are you buying the parts and performing the repair independently?
- Are you hiring an experienced, licensed, and professional plumber, or are you retaining the services of a handyman?
- Is the repair being bundled in with other plumbing issues work while the plumber is onsite at your home?
- What is the root cause of the problems with your plumbing system, and what work must be done?
- Are the replacement parts common, or will uncommon parts be needed? Are they readily available?
Various variables must be factored into the equation when determining the repair cost. When you call us, we’ll dispatch a licensed plumber to your residence to diagnose the problem and provide an upfront quote for the work required to fix the issue. You won’t get any invoice surprises after the work is completed.
When retaining the services of a licensed and insured plumber in Ottawa, you can expect to pay in the range of $150 and $200. Depending on what you need, the cost can be higher. That’s the case if you need emergency services or more complicated repair services. Costs of fuel, materials, and other things are increasing, which will factor into plumbing rates, too.
Can I Repair a Toilet Independently, or Should I Call Dr. Pipe?
When determining whether to tackle toilet repair or replacement independently or hire a professional, like Dr. Pipe, it depends on your DIY skills and budget. We’ve seen it all when it comes to DIY home plumbing work, and the scenes are not always pleasant.
When DIYers repair a toilet, they have to shut off the water by closing the water supply lines, remove the toilet, and then replace the toilet. It sounds easy, but even the smallest mistake can cause issues that convince DIYers to call Dr. Pipe.
Since it’s your house, you get to decide whether to do the work yourself or hire a pro. If you go with the former rather than the latter, take time to learn the process from start to end. You should also need the right tools for the job, like an adjustable wrench, pliers, plunger, pipe wrench, basin wrench, plumbers putty, and more. Otherwise, you could encounter issues that lead to leaks and water damage while trying to repair a toilet. It’s up to you to decide whether possibly saving a few bucks is worth the risk.
You Can Depend on Our Emergency Service
You can depend on Dr. Pipe’s 24/7 emergency services if you have any problems with your drain pipe, water levels, toilet bowl, supply line, water in the tank, toilet leaks, toilet flapper, cold or hot water, or any other plumbing-related issues.
Ottawa plumbers typically charge different amounts depending on the services required. Case in point: You’ll spend more for a drain pipe or sewer line than to install a hot water tank.
Emergency service can be costlier than regular service calls. Dr. Pipe, however, offers affordable and dependable plumbing services whether you’re experiencing common toilet problems–like the inability to flush the toilet or clogging due to toilet paper–or more serious issues.
