Toilet Replacement
Toilet replacement is a planned swap of an existing WC for a new unit, fitted correctly and tested so it flushes reliably and stays leak-free. It is ideal when your current toilet is cracked, loose, constantly running, hard to clean, or you are upgrading as part of a bathroom refresh.

What toilet replacement covers
A like-for-like toilet replacement focuses on safe removal, correct connections, and a clean finish.

- Checking the existing supply, isolation valve and soil connection for suitability

- Connecting to the water supply and soil pipe with the correct fittings
- Testing for leaks, checking flush performance, and confirming stable fixing
- Leaving the area tidy and the toilet ready to use
When this service is the right fit
This service suits homeowners, landlords, and small premises that want a straightforward, reliable replacement with minimal disruption. Common reasons include a persistent leak, a wobbly pan, poor flushing, a cracked cistern or bowl, or a planned upgrade to a more modern or water-efficient design.
How the replacement is delivered
The work starts with isolating the water and assessing the existing connections so the new toilet can be fitted safely and neatly. The old toilet is removed, the new unit is positioned and fixed, then the pipework is connected and tested under normal use. If any hidden issues are found, such as a worn pan connector, a faulty isolation valve, or a damaged fixing surface, you will be talked through the options before any extra work goes ahead.
After installation
You will be shown the final checks, including a flush test and inspection for leaks around joints and seals. You will also get practical guidance on looking after the new fittings and what to watch for in the first few days of use. If you notice any dripping or movement, it is best to stop using it and arrange a prompt follow-up inspection.
