Toilet Installation Estimate Calculator

Use this tool to get a general estimate range. The lowest ranges are usually for straightforward customer-supplied toilet swaps. Higher ranges may include a toilet supplied through Shanks Onsite Services, upgraded features, installation materials, proper fit guidance, and our workmanship warranty.

Important: This calculator is not a firm quote. Final pricing depends on the toilet selected, existing plumbing condition, flange condition, shutoff valve condition, flooring, access, and any hidden issues found during installation.

What Affects the Cost of a Toilet Installation?

Toilet installation pricing can vary because every home is a little different. Some replacements are simple swaps, while others need extra work to make sure the toilet is safe, secure, and properly sealed.

Common things that can affect the estimate include:

Who Supplies the Toilet

A customer-supplied toilet is usually the lowest-cost option because the homeowner has already purchased the fixture. However, customer-supplied toilets may not include the same product guidance, upgraded fixture options, or full warranty coverage as a toilet supplied through Shanks Onsite Services.

When we supply the toilet, we can help make sure the toilet is appropriate for the home, has the right fit, and includes installation materials and our workmanship warranty.

Toilet Style

Standard two-piece toilets are usually the most straightforward to install. One-piece toilets, skirted toilets, comfort-height toilets, specialty toilets, and smart/bidet toilets may require more time, care, or adjustments during installation.

Flange Condition

The toilet flange is the connection point between the toilet and the drain system. If the flange is cracked, loose, too low, too high, rusted, or poorly installed, it may need repair before the toilet can be installed correctly.

A damaged flange can lead to rocking toilets, sewer smells, leaks, and floor damage.

Shutoff Valve Condition

The shutoff valve behind the toilet needs to work properly. If it is old, stuck, leaking, corroded, or does not fully shut off, it may need to be replaced during the installation.

Flooring and Fit

Flooring height, uneven floors, old wax residue, previous leaks, and past DIY repairs can all affect the final installation. These issues are not always visible until the old toilet is removed.

Toilet Installation Calculator FAQs

How accurate is the toilet installation calculator?

The calculator provides a general estimate range, not a firm quote. Final pricing depends on the toilet selected, the existing plumbing condition, flange condition, shutoff valve, flooring, and any hidden issues found during installation.

What is the cheapest toilet replacement option?

The lowest-cost option is usually a straightforward customer-supplied toilet swap where the flange, shutoff valve, supply line, and flooring are all in good condition.

Can you install a toilet I already bought?

Yes, we can install many customer-supplied toilets. We will still need to make sure the toilet fits properly and that the existing plumbing is suitable for installation.

Does a customer-supplied toilet include the same warranty?

Customer-supplied toilets do not include the same product guidance, upgraded fixture options, or full warranty coverage as toilets supplied through Shanks Onsite Services. Product defects, missing parts, warranty claims, and replacement issues are handled by the homeowner.

What if the toilet flange is damaged?

If the flange is damaged, loose, cracked, rusted, or too low, it may need to be repaired before the toilet can be properly installed. A bad flange can cause leaks, movement, sewer smells, and floor damage.

Should the toilet be caulked at the base?

In many cases, caulking around the base gives the toilet a cleaner finished look and helps prevent moisture from getting under the toilet. The toilet still needs to be properly set and secured before caulking.

Do you haul away the old toilet?

Yes, old toilet haul-away may be available and can be included in the estimate.

Do you offer free estimates for toilet replacement?

Yes. We offer free, no-pressure in-home firm quotes for toilet installation and replacement.

Can’t you just repair my old toilet?

Sometimes, yes. If the toilet itself is in good condition and the issue is with something like the fill valve, flapper, handle, supply line, shutoff valve, or a simple leak, a repair may be the best option.

However, replacement may make more sense if the toilet is cracked, constantly clogging, rocking, leaking from the base, older and inefficient, has internal defects, or if multiple parts are failing at once.

If you need a toilet issue diagnosed, we charge a $69 diagnostic fee for a licensed plumber to come out, inspect the problem, and go over repair or replacement options. If you choose to have the repair completed by Shanks Onsite Services, the $69 diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair. It is not an additional fee on top of the repair cost.
