Need to get your toilet fixed? Issues like your toilet not flushing properly, a broken toilet handle, a constantly filling cistern, or even a toilet that’s leaking, where do you turn?
Fixed price toilet repairs £160.
Toilet repairs vary greatly depending on what the issue is. The good news is, most repairs are relatively straightforward for an experienced plumber and don’t cost the earth to fix. Let’s take a quick look at the most common types of repairs we get asked to help with and what the typical costs are.
Blocked toilets happen to everyone from time to time and the reasons for a toilet block vary. Most common is toilet paper or flushing too much down the toilet can result in a blocked toilet. Flushing items that are not meant to break down in water, such as baby wipes, sanitary napkins and tampons, can result in blockages. Occasionally objects like children’s toys, or even mobiles phones may accidentally fall into the toilet bowl and cause a blockage when flushed.
In most cases unblocking a toilet is a straightforward process and would cost typically around £100 to attend and repair.
For more serious problems further investigation may be required. You may need a specialist drainage contractor for collapsed drain pipes underground or tree roots getting into the drainage pipes. The drain pipe may need to be inspected using specialist cameras and high pressure water jet hosing could be required to clear any hardened waste.
Toilet leaks can be really easy to fix and the good news is most can be fixed quickly.
Most common reasons for a toilet leaking include, cracked porcelain, toilet rubber or fibre washers leaking, ball cocks and inlet toilet valves passing water causing the toilet to overflow.
It costs typically around £120 to attend and repair a toilet leak.
Overflowing toilets can cause a lot of damage to a property, not to mention the amount of water that is lost as a result. The most common cause of an overflowing toilet cistern is the ball cock / water inlet valve needing readjusted or the washer needing replaced.
Toilet cistern repairs are usually a quick job, most toilets can be repaired using universal parts and typically it costs around £120 to attend and repair an overflowing toilet cistern. However some more expensive toilets require like-for-like parts to be used, which may result in parts needing to be specially ordered directly from the toilet manufacturer. Toilets which have hidden cisterns behind tiles can also pose a challenge if no access for maintenance is in place.
Toilet handles or push toilet buttons need to work or you will not be able to flush your toilet.
If your toilet handle or push button is working but your toilet is not flushing, it may be that your toilet flush valve or siphon is faulty and needs to be replaced.
It typically costs around £100 to attend and repair.
You push the toilet flush button or push the toilet lever down to flush, but nothing happens. Or you have to try several times before it flushes.
This type of repair is probably one of the most tricky to resolve. If universal parts have been used previously, sometimes the repair can take a matter of minutes to replace the flush valve / siphon. If you have an older toilet, the toilet cistern will have to be removed to replace the faulty part.
It typically costs around £150 to attend and repair.
The time required to repair a toilet varies depending on the issue. Straightforward problems, like replacing a ballcock or changing a flush handle can typically be resolved within an hour. More challenging repairs, such as fixing leaks or replacing your flush siphon may take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending on the type of toilet you have. If your toilet cistern is hidden behind the wall, this may increase the time needed. If your toilet porcelain is damaged or cracked, most of the time this means you should replace your toilet. Replacing a toilet can take anywhere from 2-4 hours.

You don’t always need a plumber to repair your toilet. If you have the know-how and the correct tools, changing most parts can be relatively straightforward to do. Replacing an inlet / fill valve can be easy enough to do yourself. The hardest repairs are when the old toilet parts have become rusty and removing the old bolts and screws can be very difficult to do, that’s where the experience of a plumber can pay off. Knowing where the water turns off to your toilet is vital to know before attempting any repair work yourself. If in doubt, get in touch.
If you hear gurgling sounds coming from your toilet after flushing, it’s usually a sign of trapped air or a blockage in the drainage vent stack. If left unaddressed, this can lead to poor flushing and potentially cause your toilet to become blocked. Speak to a professional plumber to diagnose and fix the issue.
A toilet not flushing can be caused by various reasons. If you have the correct tools and are confident you can work safely, including how to turn off the water to the toilet in case of an emergency, then the following may help:

If your flush valve needs changed and it requires the plumber to remove the cistern from the toilet pan, replace the fill valve at the same time. These parts can be bought in a toilet repair pack, so this offers better value for money when you have to replace a flush valve. It also means everything is new and can be replaced during the same 1-2 hour visit.
However…
If the fill valve only needs to be replaced, this can normally be done without removing the cistern from the toilet pan, so no need to also replace the flush valve. If you would prefer the flush valve to be replaced at the same time, please speak to your plumber.
We try as best as we can to replace your toilet parts with universal toilet parts, which means any future repairs can be done much easier, meaning better valve for the customer and less expensive future maintenance toilet repair bills.
