What does it Cost to Replace Wax Ring Under a Toilet?

Like many things in the world of plumbing, a wax ring (aka wax seal) on a toilet is an inexpensive part by itself. However, the expertise and time needed to replace it often necessitate using a professional plumber to do the work. As a result, having a local plumber replace your toilet’s wax ring can be anywhere from $75-250 depending on the cost of the trip charge and whether anything else is discovered in the process that needs fixing. For instance, in some cases the toilet flange may also need to be replaced, which will drive up the cost of the wax seal replacement. When the toilet is removed, if it is cracked or damaged in the process or existing damage is discovered, it may need to be replaced as well. Typically, replacing your toilet will add a few hundred dollars more to the total toilet repair project cost.

While some homeowners may try to replace the wax ring on a toilet themselves, this isn’t typically a good idea unless you are particularly handy and have the right tools to do the job. Incorrectly replacing the wax seal can result in water leaking or becoming trapped under the toilet, damaging your flooring and allowing mold to grow in your bathroom. Instead, call your local plumbing company to do the job for you!
