Toilet Installation in Toronto
Putting in a new toilet looks simple. The part that matters is underneath: the flange, the closet bend and the floor it sits on. In an older house, that is where most problems hide.

What causes problems in older Toronto homes
Pre-war bathrooms often have a lead closet bend under the toilet, soldered to cast iron. Lead is soft, and years of rocking can split it. Flanges may sit below a new tile floor, so the toilet seals poorly. Some old toilets are on a 10 or 12-inch rough-in measured from the wall, which limits which new models fit. Subfloors near toilets are often soft from old, slow leaks.
What we do on site, in order
- We close the supply, empty the old toilet, lift it out and plug the drain to stop sewer gas.
- We check the flange, the bend and the subfloor, and repair or replace what is needed, with your go-ahead first.
- The new toilet goes on with a fresh seal and stainless bolts, levelled with shims if the floor is uneven.
- We fit a new supply line plus a new shut-off if the existing one is seized.
- We run a dozen flushes, then inspect the base and tank bolts, then haul away the old toilet.
Measure before you buy. Run a tape from the finished wall out to the closet bolt centres. Most toilets need 12 inches, but older bathrooms sometimes need 10.
What affects the price
Whether you supply the toilet or want us to, the condition of the flange and bend, floor repairs, and wall-hung systems that need a carrier in the wall all affect the price. We tell you before we pull the old one what the base price is and what could add to it.
When to call right away
A cracked tank or bowl that is leaking needs the supply valve closed now. If the valve does not hold, close the main and call.

A simple swap takes about an hour or two. Flange or floor repairs add time.
