What Does it Cost to Have a Toilet Installed?

The price of having your toilet replaced will depend on whether you get the toilet through the plumbing company you hire or not. If you provide your own toilet, you will need to pay a trip charge to get a local plumber out to your home and then an hourly labor rate to have it installed. While a toilet replacement typically doesn’t take more than an hour, higher end toilets may take longer to install (like those with bidet features or other upgrades). Additionally, when homeowners purchase their own toilets for plumbers to install, issues can arise with hole size and placement that require plumbing be moved, increasing labor and, therefore, the cost of the project.

However, when you purchase a toilet directly from your plumber, you can be sure that the toilet will fit in the space you have because they are accustomed to measuring and fitting toilets in bathrooms, which means there’s less likely to be a mistake, and if there is, the plumber will fix it for you. Additionally, a licensed plumber may be able to get a discount on the toilet because they are buying it from the manufacturer directly. In this case, the cost of replacing your toilet will depend mostly on the type of toilet you purchase, with an average project cost of $250-500 for parts and labor.
