Toilet Repair Services

A broken toilet can cause more than an inconvenience. They can leak and cause damage to your bathroom and surrounding areas! Even if a toilet seems like it’s working, it could still have functional issues that are causing an increase in your water bills. Toilets are mechanically simple, but the parts have to work perfectly to function as intended. 

Your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is ready to come to your home, inspect your toilets, and ensure they work properly. If you suspect your toilet is broken, count on our licensed plumbers to help. Doing so could prevent catastrophic failure and even lower your water bills.

Our Toilet Repair Service

Toilets use two simple machines to do what they do – a lever and a water valve – but have several parts that can break, especially after a long period of use. As with any appliance, you need to replace these parts as a toilet becomes older. 

We provide all types of toilet repair services, including:

• Toilet flange repair
• Toilet fill valve repair 
• Toilet tank repair
• Toilet flapper repair 
• Toilet handle repair
• Toilet seat repair 
• Leaking toilet repair
• Clogged toilet repair 
• Whistling toilet repair
• Running toilet repair 

That being said, several other issues can also go wrong with your toilet that require an expert.

Common Toilet Issues:

• The toilet seat or base is cracked.
• The connected plumbing pipes are damaged.
• There’s sediment buildup in the tank. 
• The flush arm or chain isn’t adjusted correctly.
• The caulk or nuts around the toilet are loose. 
• The flapper, flush valve, fill valve, or lift arm needs replacing. 

When we arrive at your home to repair a toilet, we locate the source of malfunction, determine all toilet issues, and provide you with a straightforward breakdown of the services we recommend. Our goal is to make sure your toilet is fully fixed with your needs and budget in mind. 

After it’s been fixed, we’ll test it and clean up after ourselves so that your home looks like it did before we arrived.

Signs Your Toilet Needs Repair

A toilet might stop working after a part breaks, but there are more subtle signs that it needs repairs:

• Strange hissing or rumbling during a flush.
• Tank takes too long to fill after a flush.
• Toilet flushes on its own.
• Toilet constantly runs.
• Strange smells coming from the toilet.
• Water collecting around the base of the toilet.

Many of the problems listed above are not emergencies, but they can cause your toilet to work wastefully or improperly. 

An overflowing or leaking toilet, however, is an emergency. If this is the case, you can temporarily solve the problem by turning off its water valve. Often, a toilet’s water valve is located near the wall at the base of the toilet. Turning this valve clockwise until it stops will prevent more water from entering your toilet’s system.

Toilet Repair FAQs

Can you repair a cracked toilet tank?

Yes! Most toilet tank cracks can typically be repaired with a bit of epoxy. In some cases, though, if the cracks are larger and below the water line, the toilet may need replacing. Count on our experts to fix toilet cracks or replace the toilet entirely, as needed.  

Should I repair or replace my toilet?

It depends. If your toilet issues require simple part replacement, adjusting, or even connected piping repair, you likely won’t need replacement. However, if your toilet is 20+ years old, requires frequent repairs, has major cracks or leaks, or has caused a spike in your water bill, you should probably replace it. You may also want to consider the benefits of a more efficient toilet even if yours can be fixed with repair. Our plumbers can help you make an informed decision.

How much does a toilet repair cost?

When it comes to repairing a toilet, costs can vary depending on the type of repair, extent of repairs, and labor needed. On average, costs can vary from as little as $45 to $200 or more. When you hire a Benjamin Franklin plumber for toilet repair, we’ll be sure to break down all cost estimates and keep your budget and needs in mind.
