Toilet Repair Toronto
TOILET REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT ACROSS TORONTO
A toilet that runs all night, rocks when you sit on it, leaks at the base, or clogs every other day is not something you should have to live with. Most toilet problems come down to a handful of parts: the flapper, the fill valve, the wax ring, the flange, or the bolts that hold it all down. The real job is figuring out which one failed, and whether the problem is the toilet at all or the drain line behind it.
Rooter Brothers repairs and replaces toilets in houses, condos, and basement apartments across Toronto and the GTA. We carry the common parts on the truck, so most repairs are finished in one visit. If a toilet is overflowing and will not stop, close the supply valve behind it and call our emergency plumber line at (647) 449-5665.
Toilet Repair From a Drain and Plumbing Company
Plenty of plumbers can swap a flapper. What sets Rooter Brothers apart is that we are a drain and sewer company first. When a toilet keeps clogging in an older home in the Junction, Little Italy, or East York, the cause is often not the toilet. It is a cast iron stack full of scale, a clay sewer line with roots in it, or an old building trap catching everything that goes down. We can tell the difference, and we will not sell you a new toilet when the problem is in the pipe.
We have over 15 years of experience in Toronto homes, from 1920s semis with original cast iron to condo towers along the waterfront with pressure-assist and wall-hung toilets. Whatever is in your bathroom, we diagnose it properly, give you the price, and fix it.
If you want a plumber who checks the drain as well as the toilet, Rooter Brothers’ Toronto plumbers are one call away at (647) 449-5665.
Signs Your Toilet Needs a Plumber
These are the toilet problems we fix most often across Toronto:
- Toilet runs constantly or refills on its own every few minutes
- Water pooling around the base, or stains on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Toilet rocks or feels loose when you sit on it
- Weak flush, or a toilet that needs two or three flushes to clear
- Clogs that keep coming back even after plunging
- Gurgling, bubbling, or water rising in the bowl when the shower or washer drains
If any of these sound familiar, call (647) 449-5665. A running toilet can waste hundreds of litres of water a day on your Toronto Water bill, and a slow leak at the base will rot the subfloor long before you see it. If the toilet checks out and your bill is still high, our water leak detection service will find where the water is going.
Toilet Services Rooter Brothers Provides
From a worn flapper to a full replacement, we handle every kind of toilet job in Toronto homes, condos, and rental units.
Running Toilet Repair
A toilet that keeps running almost always has a worn flapper, a failing fill valve, or a float set too high. We replace the faulty parts, adjust the water level, and check the flush valve seat so the tank seals properly and stops wasting water.
Leaking Toilet Repair
Water at the base usually means a failed wax ring, loose closet bolts, or a cracked flange. We pull the toilet, inspect the flange, replace the seal, and reset the toilet level and tight. We also fix leaks at the supply line, shut-off valve, and tank bolts.
Clogged Toilet Clearing
We clear stubborn toilet clogs with a closet auger without scratching the bowl. If the blockage is further down the line, we snake the main drain and can run a camera through it to find out why it keeps happening.
Toilet Replacement and Installation
When a toilet is cracked, wasting water, or not worth repairing, we remove the old one, install the new toilet on a sound flange, connect a new supply line, and haul the old fixture away. You can supply the toilet or we can recommend one.
When the Toilet Is Not the Problem
If your toilet gurgles when the washing machine drains, or water comes up in the basement toilet or floor drain when someone flushes upstairs, the blockage is in the main drain, not the toilet. New parts will not fix it. In those cases we use drain snaking to clear the line and a sewer camera inspection to see what is causing it: roots, a sag in the line, or a collapsed section.
Basement toilets in Toronto are especially exposed during heavy rain. If sewage comes up through a basement toilet during a storm, that is a sewer backup, and the long-term fix is often a backwater valve, which may qualify for the City of Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy.
Call (647) 449-5665 or visit our contact page and we will tell you which problem you actually have.
Toilet Repair Cost in Toronto
Toilet repair cost depends on the part that failed, whether the toilet has to come off the floor, and the condition of the flange and subfloor underneath. Most running toilet and clog repairs sit at the lower end. Flange repairs and full replacements cost more.

Frequently Asked Questions — Toilet Repair Toronto
01. Why does my toilet keep running?
The most common causes are a worn flapper that lets water leak from the tank into the bowl, a fill valve that does not shut off, or a float set too high so water spills into the overflow tube. All three are quick repairs. Put a few drops of food colouring in the tank: if colour shows up in the bowl without flushing, the flapper is leaking.
02. Should I repair or replace my toilet?
Repair it if the porcelain is sound and the problem is a part. Replace it if the tank or bowl is cracked, if it clogs constantly because of a poor flush design, or if it is an older model using far more water per flush than a modern toilet. We give you an honest recommendation and the price for both options.
03. Why is water leaking around the base of my toilet?
Usually the wax ring has failed or the toilet has worked loose on its bolts, so water escapes every time you flush. Fix it quickly, because the water soaks into the subfloor and the ceiling below. We pull the toilet, inspect the flange, replace the seal, and reset it.
04. Why does my toilet keep clogging?
It can be a low-flow toilet with a weak flush, something stuck in the trap, or a partial blockage further down the drain. If the toilet clogs repeatedly or other drains in the house are slow too, the problem is in the drain line. We snake the line and can run a camera to find the cause.
05. Do you repair toilets in condos and basement apartments?
Yes. We work in condo units across downtown Toronto, Liberty Village, CityPlace, and North York, and in basement apartments and rental units throughout the city. We coordinate with property management for building access and water shut-offs when needed.
