Toilet Repair & Replacement

A running toilet is the quietest expensive thing in a house. A worn flapper or a mis-set fill valve can push hundreds of gallons a day past the seal and straight onto the Gladstone water bill, and because it's intermittent most people tune out the sound long before they fix it. Guardian Plumbing repairs and replaces residential toilets across the KC Northland — running, rocking, weeping, whistling, weak-flushing, or simply older than the people using it.

Repairs cover the parts you can reach and the ones you can't: fill valves, flappers and flush valves, tank-to-bowl kits, supply lines and shutoffs, loose or rusted closet bolts, and the wax ring under the base. A toilet that rocks is not a cosmetic problem — movement breaks the wax seal, and a broken seal quietly wets the subfloor and framing below it. If the flange itself has corroded or sits below the finished floor, we repair or shim the flange properly instead of stacking wax rings and hoping.

When a unit isn't worth saving — a cracked tank or bowl, a hopeless low-flow design from the nineties, or damage around the flange — we'll replace it with a modern water-efficient model that actually clears on one flush, set it on a new ring and bolts, level it, caulk the base correctly, and take the old one with us. We'll also tell you when the answer is to leave it alone: plenty of thirty-year-old toilets flush better than their replacements would, and a four-dollar flapper beats a new fixture.
