Toilet Repair and Installation in North Jersey

A toilet that runs all night wastes more water than any other fixture in the house, and a toilet that leaks at the base rots the subfloor and stains the ceiling below. Master's Plumbing repairs, rebuilds and replaces toilets in homes across Union, Essex, Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Morris counties, and we answer overflow calls around the clock.

Most toilet problems come down to a handful of parts: the flapper, the fill valve, the wax ring and the flange. We carry them on the van. When a toilet is cracked, wobbly on a broken flange, or simply old and wasteful, we install a new one and haul the old one away.

Common toilet problems we fix

  • The toilet runs constantly or turns itself on every few minutes
  • Water on the floor around the base after flushing
  • The bowl overflows or drains slowly with every flush
  • The toilet rocks or the bolts will not tighten
  • A stain on the ceiling directly below the bathroom
  • A weak flush that needs two tries
  • Gurgling from the tub or sink when the toilet flushes
  • Cracks in the tank or bowl, or a tank that sweats heavily

Toilet services

  • Running toilet repair

    New flapper, fill valve, flush valve or tank-to-bowl gasket. A full rebuild of the tank internals is often the better value on a toilet worth keeping.

  • Overflow and clog clearing

    Closet auger for the toilet itself, and a cable through the line if the problem is past the fixture. We tell you which it was.

  • Wax ring and base leaks

    Pull the toilet, replace the wax ring, check the flange and reset the fixture level and tight. Water at the base is almost never the toilet itself.

  • Flange repair and replacement

    Broken cast iron or PVC flanges, flanges set too low after a new floor, and rusted bolts. We repair or replace the flange so the toilet stays sealed.

  • New toilet installation

    Standard, comfort-height, elongated, and water-saving models from any major brand, including one-piece and wall-hung units where the framing allows.

  • Supply line and shutoff replacement

    The old chrome supply and a stop valve that will not close get replaced at the same visit, so the next repair does not require shutting off the whole house.

What to expect on a toilet call

  1. 1

    Describe the problem

    If the toilet is overflowing, we tell you how to close the stop valve under the tank while you wait.

  2. 2

    Find the real cause

    A base leak, a flange problem and a drain clog all look alike from the floor. We pull the fixture if needed and check the flange and drain, not just the seal.

  3. 3

    Firm price, your choice

    Repair, rebuild or replace, each with a by-the-job price. We give you an honest opinion on which is worth it.

  4. 4

    Repair, test and clean up

    Multiple test flushes, check for leaks at the base and the supply, and the bathroom left clean.

FAQ

Toilet Repair & Installation questions, answered

Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually a worn flapper that no longer seals, so the tank slowly drains and the fill valve kicks on to top it off. Sometimes it is a fill valve set too high so water runs into the overflow tube. Both are quick repairs. Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank; if the bowl changes color without a flush, the flapper is the culprit.
Is water around the base of the toilet the wax ring?
Often, but not always. It can also be condensation on the tank in summer, a leaking tank-to-bowl gasket, or a supply connection. We check all of them before pulling the toilet.
My toilet clogs constantly. Is it the toilet or the drain?
If only the toilet backs up and the tub and sink drain fine, it is usually the toilet or the closet bend right behind it. If the tub gurgles or backs up when you flush, the problem is downstream in the branch or main line and needs a drain cleaning, not a new toilet.
Should I get a comfort-height toilet?
If anyone in the house has knee or back trouble, yes. Comfort-height bowls sit a couple of inches taller, about chair height. Most people find them easier to use and they cost about the same as a standard model.
Do water-saving toilets actually flush well?
Modern ones do. Early low-flow models earned a bad reputation, but current designs from the major brands clear the bowl in one flush on a fraction of the water an older toilet uses. If you have a toilet from before the mid-1990s, a replacement pays for itself in water bills.
