Should I Call a Plumber to Install a Toilet?

Yes. Installing a toilet involves more than placing a fixture—it requires ensuring the flange, wax seal, water supply, and ventilation are all correctly aligned. A licensed plumber guarantees a proper, leak-free installation that complies with California code—and ensures your warranty remains valid.

Why Proper Toilet Installation Matters

An improperly installed toilet can cause:

Recurring leaks and water damage

Loose handles or unlevel mounting

Inefficient flushing or low flow

Persistent odors from venting issues

Voided manufacturer warranties

At Done‑Rite Plumbing, we use quality parts and proven methods to avoid these issues and deliver reliable performance.

Toilet Installation Process

Leak Detection & Repair

Pre-Installation Inspection - We assess your existing flange and measurements, identify whether you need a straight or offset flange, and recommend the best toilet models for your space and use.

Old Toilet Removal (if applicable) - We carefully remove your existing toilet, dispose of materials, clean the flange area, and inspect the subfloor for damage.

Flange and Subfloor Check - If the flange is damaged or low, we replace or raise it to secure the new toilet and prevent leaks. We also verify that the floor is level and in good condition.

Wax Ring and New Toilet Placement - Using a high-quality wax—or flange gasket for zero compression—we seal the bowl to the drain and anchor it securely.

Tank Installation and Bolting - We install the tank with proper gaskets and torque bolts correctly for secure attachment.

Water Supply Connection - Installed shut-off valves and supply lines are tightened securely to prevent leaks.

Test Flush & Leak Detection - We flush multiple times, check for leaks, and verify the toilet fills and stops as designed.

Final Adjustments & Clean-Up - We caulk the base, clean the area thoroughly, and show you how to perform basic checks.

How Long Does It Take a Plumber to Install a New Toilet?

A standard toilet installation typically requires approximately 1.5 to 3 hours, including foundation work, leak testing, and clean-up. If additional floor repair, flange replacement, or supply line relocation is required, an extra hour or more may be needed.

What Do Plumbers Say Is the Best Toilet?

Plumbers often recommend toilets that offer:


  • Gravity-fed bowl design for reliable flushes
  • 4–6 liter per flush for water efficiency
  • Comfort height bowls (16–17") for accessibility
  • Two-piece or one-piece design based on budget and aesthetics
  • Reputable brands like Toto, American Standard, Delta, and Kohler

We help guide customers toward fixtures that offer both performance and value for their home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does it take for a plumber to fix a toilet?

    Most repairs—such as replacing flappers, fill valves, or tank gaskets—take 30 to 60 minutes. More involved repairs, like base leaks or internal hardware replacements, may require 1–2 hours.

  • Can I install a toilet myself?

    While some homeowners attempt DIY installation, minor misalignment can cause leaks and damage. A professional ensures proper sealing and adherence to local code.

  • Should I replace the flange when installing a new toilet?

    If the flange is broken, tilted, or below floor level, it’s best to replace or repair it to prevent future leaks.

  • What if my floor is uneven where the toilet goes?

    We can sand the base, use a flange extender, or stabilize the floor before installing the toilet to ensure a tight seal.

Signs You Need Toilet Replacement Rather Than Repair

  • Cracks in the bowl or tank
  • Persistent leaks from the base
  • Frequent clogs or weak flushing
  • Outdated design or poor water efficiency
  • Frequent repair needs

In these cases, installing a new toilet often provides better long-term value and performance.

Toilet Sizes and Fit Options

Standard Height

Most toilets are 15 inches from floor to bowl, ideal for children and compact bathrooms.

Comfort (Chair) Height

16–17-inch models offer easier use for seniors or people with mobility needs.

Round vs. Elongated Bowls

Round bowls save space; elongated bowls provide more comfort.

We'll measure your bathroom and countertop configuration to recommend a model that fits both function and space.

Water Efficiency & ADA Preferences

California requires low-flow toilets (1.28 GPF). We install high-efficiency models that meet or exceed WaterSense standards. We can also install ADA-compliant and comfort-height models with safety rails for accessible bathrooms.
