FAQs for toilet install or repair projects in Gonzales, LA

Yes, if the tank is cracked or stained but the bowl is fine, swapping just the tank is a smart, budget-friendly fix. A plumber charges $50 to $100 for the part plus labor, far cheaper than replacing the whole unit. Just confirm the new tank matches your toilet’s brand and model so everything lines up and seals properly.

Most toilets last an average of 25 years. Porcelain is tough, but a toilet’s seals and internal parts still wear out. Staying on top of small fixes—like swapping a flapper or tightening bolts—keeps the fixture running smoothly and stops minor leaks from turning into pricey repairs and extensive water damage issues.

A good flapper should last four to five years. Drop-in tank tablets and harsh cleaners can cut that life span in half because they break down the rubber. If yours fails after a year or two, switch to gentler cleaners and stick to simple vinegar or mild soap for routine tank care.

A pro needs an average of two to four hours to swap out a toilet. That covers draining the old unit, unbolting it, setting a fresh wax ring, and securing the new bowl and tank. Tight bathrooms or corroded bolts can add time, but most replacements wrap up in a single morning.

A correctly installed wax ring should last as long as the toilet itself. It seals the base to the drain, keeping odors and leaks out of your bathroom. If you spot water around the base or smell sewer gas, call a plumber for a new ring right away to prevent subfloor damage.

A cracked flange lets the toilet wobble, which quickly breaks the wax seal. Once that seal fails, water can seep under the fixture and rot the subfloor or stain the ceiling below. Have a plumber replace the flange right away to keep the toilet stable and avoid costly structural repairs.
