Signs You May Need To Replace Your Toilet
If your toilet is old, outdated or simply not functioning as well as it should, it may be time for a replacement. There are a few key signs to look out for to determine whether you need to replace your toilet:
- If your toilet is constantly running and you've already tried adjusting the water level and flushing mechanisms, it may be time for a new one.
- If your toilet is clogged frequently, even after trying various methods of clearing the blockage, it's time for a new one.
- If you have to jiggle the handle or use excessive amounts of force to get the toilet to flush, it's probably time for a replacement.
- If the exterior of your toilet is cracking or damaged, it's definitely time for a new one.
How much does it cost?
The cost of replacing your toilet will depend on a few factors, such as the hourly rate, whether the work is called out as an emergency and the size or style of your toilet, as well as any additional plumbing work carried out.
Generally speaking, the hourly rate for a plumber is on average, £30 per hour, with an emergency call-out hourly rate costing on average £75. In addition to hourly labour, any additional cost will include parts and the toilet, if required.
Tips for preventing emergencies
There are a few things you can do to help prevent plumbing emergencies:
- Check your toilet regularly for any leaks or drips and have them repaired as soon as possible
- If you notice any cracks in pipes, and get them fixed immediately to avoid water damage
- Don't pour grease, fat or oil down your toilet as this can cause blockages.
- Keep an eye on your water meter and if you notice any unusual spikes, contact a plumber as this can be a sign of a leak
What to do in an emergency
If you find yourself in the middle of a plumbing emergency, try not to panic – but act quickly. Stay calm and follow these steps:
- Turn off the water at the mains to stop any further damage
- If there is sewage spilling, wear gloves and try to avoid contact where possible
- Contact a qualified plumber as soon as possible to rectify the problem
