Toilet Repair & Installation in Bellevue, WA
Running toilets, clogs, and full replacements, most handled in a single visit.
A running toilet is one of the most common calls we get, and it's usually a worn flapper or a fill valve that's not seating correctly, both inexpensive fixes. A toilet that clogs repeatedly, on the other hand, sometimes points to a partial blockage further down the line rather than the toilet itself.
We also handle full replacements, whether that's an older toilet that's cracked or failing repeatedly, or a homeowner upgrading to a more water-efficient model. Installation includes checking the wax ring and shutoff valve, both common points of a leak if they're not properly seated. We check both before we consider the job finished.
Original toilets in Bellevue homes built before the mid-1990s often use significantly more water per flush than current models, and beyond the efficiency difference, these older fixtures are also more prone to the internal components simply wearing out from decades of use. When we're called for a repair on a toilet already at that age, we'll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the more practical long-term choice.
For a bathroom remodel or a full renovation, toilet placement sometimes needs to shift to accommodate a new layout, which means moving the drain connection itself rather than just swapping the fixture in place. This is a bigger job than a standard installation, since it involves working with the floor's plumbing rough-in, and it's worth planning for early in a remodel rather than discovering mid-project that the original fixture location was assumed to be fixed.
What We Check
Running Toilet Repair
Flapper, fill valve, or flush valve replacement, most common cause of a running toilet.
Clog Diagnosis
Checked to confirm whether a repeated clog is the toilet or a line issue further down.
Full Installation
New toilet installed with wax ring and shutoff valve checked as part of the job.
What Affects The Price
Toilet pricing depends on whether it's a repair or a full replacement, and the specific fixture chosen if a new toilet is being installed, along with any shutoff valve work found and addressed on the same visit rather than scheduled separately later on.
Repair vs. replacement
A flapper or fill valve repair costs less than a full toilet replacement.
Fixture chosen
Standard versus higher-efficiency, comfort-height, or accessible toilets vary in installed cost.
Shutoff valve condition
An aging valve found during installation is worth replacing at the same time.
You Might Also Need
A toilet that clogs repeatedly and turns out to be a line issue rather than the fixture itself falls under our drain cleaning and unclogging page. If a running toilet has gone unnoticed long enough to affect the water bill, that's the same pattern our leak detection page addresses for other fixtures.
Redmond and Kirkland households replacing original 1970s-era toilets for more water-efficient models are a regular part of our installation work.

Almost always a worn flapper that's not sealing, or a fill valve that isn't shutting off properly. Both are inexpensive, same-visit repairs.
Most installations, including removing the old fixture and setting the new one, are completed within a couple of hours.
If it's an original pre-1990s fixture using significantly more water per flush, and needing more than one repair, replacement often makes more sense long-term. We'll give you an honest comparison rather than defaulting to either option.
Yes, we install comfort-height and ADA-compliant fixtures as part of our standard installation service.
Yes, though it's a bigger job than a standard installation since it involves the floor's rough-in plumbing. We recommend planning this early in a remodel rather than mid-project, ideally before flooring and fixtures elsewhere in the room are finalized.

Either. We're happy to install a toilet you've already purchased, or recommend and supply one if you'd rather we handle that too. We'll confirm it's compatible with your existing rough-in and bolt pattern before the appointment so there are no surprises on install day.
