Toilet Repair
Professional Toilet Repair from licensed plumbers. Upfront pricing. Workmanship guaranteed. Serving the Golden Horseshoe since 1922.
A running toilet wastes thousands of litres of water every week. A rocking toilet base signals a compromised wax ring seal that can damage your subfloor silently over months. A weak or incomplete flush means something is restricting flow inside the bowl or trap. Toilet problems are rarely as simple as they appear at the surface, and improper repairs often create bigger problems than the ones they address. Birnie Plumbing and Drains provides accurate toilet diagnosis and professional repair, from fill valve and flapper replacement to full flange reconstruction and fixture replacement.
How Our Toilet Repair Service Works
A clear, professional process every visit, every customer.
Identify the Fault
We inspect the fill valve, flapper, flush valve, tank, base, and flange to identify the actual cause of the running, leaking, or performance problem.
Source the Right Parts
Manufacturer-matched or quality-equivalent replacement components are sourced for a repair that lasts, not discount parts that fail again in months.
Complete the Repair
The repair is completed with proper seating of the flapper, correct fill valve adjustment, and wax ring replacement as needed.
Test and Confirm
Multiple flush tests confirm the repair is complete, the base is sealed, and the tank is filling and shutting off correctly.
Cleanup and Guarantee
Full cleanup of work area. Workmanship guarantee on all labour and installed components.
Benefits of Professional Toilet Repair
Eliminates Continuous Water Waste
A running toilet wastes thousands of litres per week. A professional repair pays for itself in water bill savings within the first billing cycle.
Prevents Subfloor and Structural Damage
A slow wax ring leak under the toilet silently saturates and softens the subfloor for months. Early repair prevents major structural remediation.
Accurate Fault Identification
The correct component is identified before any repair begins: flush valve seat wear, fill valve failure, or flange damage, so you pay for the right fix.
Honest Repair vs. Replace Assessment
We recommend full fixture replacement only when it is genuinely more cost-effective long-term, not as the default answer that generates a larger invoice.
Water-Efficient Fixture Options
When replacement is the right call, we supply and install high-efficiency dual-flush fixtures that reduce water consumption without compromising flush performance.
Flange and Subfloor Inspection Included
We inspect the toilet flange and visible subfloor area during every repair. Water damage discovered at this stage is far less expensive to address than later.
Workmanship Guaranteed
All toilet repair and installation work is covered by our full workmanship guarantee on labour and installed components.
