Toilet Repair

Toilet Repair & Replacement in San Ramon & the Tri-Valley

A toilet that runs, rocks, or won't stop clogging is more than an annoyance — it can waste water and, if it's leaking at the base, damage your subfloor. We diagnose the problem, walk you through what's going on in plain language, and fix it right the first time.

Most toilet issues come down to a handful of worn parts inside the tank or a failed seal at the base. We carry common repair parts and can also replace an aging or cracked toilet outright when a repair no longer makes sense.

How it works

  1. 1
    Tell us what's going on

    Call or request an estimate and describe the symptoms — running, rocking, leaking, or clogging. That helps us bring the right parts on the first visit.

  2. 2
    Diagnosis on site

    We inspect the tank internals, the base seal, and the supply line to find the actual cause, not just the symptom.

  3. 3
    Repair or replace

    Most issues are fixed with a parts repair. If the toilet is old, cracked, or repeatedly failing, we'll walk you through replacement options.

  4. 4
    Test before we leave

    We run multiple flush cycles and check the base and supply line for leaks before calling the job done.

Common questions

Can a running toilet really waste that much water?

Yes. A worn flapper or fill valve that lets water trickle into the bowl can run for hours a day without anyone noticing, which adds up on a water bill over time. It's usually an inexpensive fix.

My toilet rocks slightly — is that a big deal?

It's worth addressing. A rocking toilet usually means the wax ring seal at the base has broken or the flange underneath is damaged, which can let water leak onto the subfloor without being obvious at first. Catching it early is much cheaper than repairing water damage later.

Should I repair my toilet or replace it?

It depends on the toilet's age and condition. A simple internal part repair is often the right call for a newer toilet. If it's old, cracked, or you're replacing parts repeatedly, we'll give you an honest read on whether replacement makes more sense.

What causes a toilet to clog repeatedly?

Common culprits are low-flow toilets with a partial blockage, items flushed that shouldn't be (wipes, feminine products), or a partial clog further down the drain line. We can clear the immediate clog and let you know if something further downstream needs a look.

Do you install customer-supplied toilets?

Yes, we can install a toilet you've purchased or help you select one and handle the whole job — removal of the old unit, new wax ring and seal, and a full leak check.
