TOILET INSTALLATION PERTH

The average installation time for a new toilet is 1 to 2 hours. This timeframe assumes that the existing plumbing is in good condition and there are no unforeseen complications. If additional work is needed—such as replacing old pipe fittings, addressing floor damage, or removing stubborn blockages—it can take longer. A professional plumber ensures that the job is done right the first time, minimising potential issues such as leaks or poor flushing performance.

Some clear indicators that it’s time for a replacement include persistent leaks, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, and the need for frequent repairs. Other signs include a weak or inconsistent flush, a toilet that runs continuously, or constant clogs even with regular maintenance. Older toilets may also consume excessive water compared to modern water-efficient models. If your toilet shows these issues and repairs are becoming frequent, replacement is often the more cost-effective option.

While a DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing knowledge, hiring a licensed plumber is highly recommended. A professional plumber ensures the installation is compliant with local plumbing codes, preventing potential leaks, drainage problems, or faulty seals. They can also inspect your existing plumbing to catch any issues that could cause trouble later, such as deteriorated pipes or hidden leaks. Professional installation offers peace of mind and saves you from costly repairs in the future.

Upgrading to a modern dual-flush toilet can result in substantial water savings. Older toilets often use up to 12 litres of water per flush, while new models use 3 to 6 litres, depending on the flush option. Dual-flush toilets allow you to select a lighter flush for liquid waste, significantly reducing water consumption over time. This upgrade not only helps the environment but can also lower your water bills—especially in regions like Perth, where water conservation is essential.

The cost of a toilet replacement varies depending on the type of toilet and the complexity of the installation. Basic installations with standard models are typically more affordable, while premium toilets with advanced features, such as soft-close lids or rimless bowls, may increase the price. Additional plumbing work, such as fixing damaged pipes or upgrading water supply lines, can also impact the overall cost.
