The Benefits of a New Toilet for Your Home
When there’s a problem, repairing a toilet will typically be the most cost-effective solution, but sometimes repairs aren’t possible or practical. Plus, installing a new toilet can offer some tangible benefits for your household.
These can include:
- Reduced water usage: Today’s toilets require about 1.6 gallons per flush compared to older toilets that could use 2 to 3 gallons or more. If your toilet is over a decade old, upgrading instead of repairing could significantly reduce your water bill.
- Better performance: Compared to older water-saving toilets, today’s models offer better performance with designs that prevent clogs and rarely need a second flush. Plus, toilets lose their flushing power over time due to mineral buildup from the water.
- Improved aesthetics: Upgrading from your dated toilet could significantly improve the look of your bathroom.
- Innovative features: Some higher-end toilets offer dual-flush designs that use significantly less water to eliminate liquid waste, with more water available for solids. Others offer built-in bidets, elongated seats, or other features.

Signs You Need To Replace Your Toilet
When you have minor toilet problems, such as a malfunctioning fill valve, a leaking flapper valve, or a leaking wax ring, it makes sense to repair the toilet.
If you notice any of these issues, however, it’s time to replace it:
- The porcelain has a hairline fracture.
- Unexplained water keeps showing up on the floor around the toilet.
- Your toilet clogs often.
- Your toilet has problems flushing.
- Your toilet is over eight years old.
- The glazing in the bowl has corroded, causing everything to stick to it.
- You have to hold down the handle for a long time to clear the bowl.
Make your bathroom work better by replacing your old, dated toilet.

Why Have a Professional Replace Your Toilet?
Replacing a toilet involves more than just turning a few wrenches. Years of leaks and corrosion can rot the subfloor, damage the toilet flange, and make fasteners difficult to turn, all of which will have to be repaired before the new toilet can be installed.
Your new toilet needs to be set up properly to work as it should, and adjustments are often required. The water supply line must be disconnected and either moved to the new toilet or replaced so it can shut off your toilet when needed.
The correct wax ring for your specific toilet, flange, and flooring will need to be installed to ensure a proper seal, so water doesn’t build up under your flooring. Your new toilet will also have to be properly shimmed, so it doesn’t wobble or tilt, breaking the seal and leaking sewer gases into the air.
That’s why the task is best left to the professionals, like our team at Three Way Plumbing. We offer professional toilet installation throughout the Charlotte area. Although we try to make toilet installations as affordable as possible, the cost will depend highly on the condition of your bathroom and the type of toilet you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a toilet myself?
While it’s possible to install a toilet yourself, we strongly recommend hiring a professional plumber so you know the job is done safely and correctly. If you need to install a toilet on your own, it’s important to have the right toilet size and replace the shut-off valve before you get started.
What are common mistakes made during toilet installation?
Making sure your new toilet fits properly is key to preventing serious issues. The toilet flange underneath should be in good shape before the toilet is installed, so the new toilet will set properly.
It’s also important to not over-tighten or under-tighten the bowl bolts. The best way to avoid these issues is to call a professional plumber.
When should you replace your toilet?
While porcelain toilets are extremely durable, the rim holes in the porcelain can get closed over or narrow over time. This can cause issues when the bowl empties and cause the toilet to back up consistently. At this point, the only option is to replace the toilet entirely.
How long does it take to remove an old toilet and install a new one?
It depends. Generally, it can take anywhere from 1-3 hours for a professional plumber to complete the installation, depending on the type of toilet being installed and any unforeseen issues that may arise.
Can I keep the same toilet if I'm remodeling my bathroom?
Yes, but make sure it sets properly. If you’re replacing the floors in your bathroom, it’s important to check that the new floors are the same thickness.
If the new flooring is a different thickness or if you’re laying it over existing flooring, it will change the way the toilet sets over the flange and cause problems. The toilet might need to be reinstalled with the flange raised and resealed.
