If your toilet is broken, you may be able to fix it yourself. First, try to determine what is causing the problem. If the toilet will not flush, the issue may be with the flushing mechanism or the water supply. If the toilet is constantly running, the problem may be with the fill valve. If the toilet is leaking, the problem may be with the wax ring or the flapper. Once you have determined the problem, you can purchase the necessary parts and follow the instructions in the repair manual to fix the toilet.
If your toilet is made of porcelain, it can usually be repaired. However, if the damage is extensive, it may be necessary to replace the entire toilet.
If your toilet fill valve needs repair, you may be able to replace the valve yourself. Toilet fill valves are relatively easy to replace, and most hardware stores carry replacement valves.
If your toilet fill valve is running constantly, there are a few things you can do to try to fix it. First, check to see if the float is stuck in the up position. If it is, you can try gently pushing it down. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the float. Another possible issue is that the valve seat is worn out and needs to be replaced. You can try cleaning it with a toothbrush and some vinegar first, but if that doesn't work you'll need to get a new valve seat. Finally, if none of these solutions

Such a small thing may have such a big impact. These are wonderful things. After installing a new tile floor in my master bathroom, I used them initially to level the toilet. For some reason, the tile around the toilet wasn't level, which isn't visible to the naked eye, but as soon as you set the toilet, you see just how uneven it is. Utilizing these shims is quick and easy. Cross the toilet bowl with a level that is 24 inches wide. Put the shims under the toilet's lip where you need them. As near to the toilet as you can, use a blade to cut the access shim off. After that, caulk as usual around the toilet. The shim is hidden by the caulking and will never be seen again. The feeling of sitting on the same toilet that has been unlevel for years and suddenly is level will surprise you.

This was purchased to fix a leaky toilet. The old wax ring was clearly the leak's source when the toilet was pulled up. Flange was just below the floor's level. I then utilized the gasket/seal piece and the spacer piece in accordance with the directions. It's wonderful that plastic washers are included to aid in holding the bolts in place. I positioned the toilet once before pulling it out to inspect. Put back in place because everything appeared to be in order. The toilet pushed a little bit off the floor due to the breadth of the spacer and gasket/seal, however putting weight on the toilet and tightening the bolts brought it back to rest on the floor. With no leaks, everything was properly sealed. It was worth it to use this product instead of a wax ring alone because I was working in a restroom that was approximately the size of a typical public restroom stall and there wasn't room for a second person to help seat the toilet. If I can avoid it, I'll never again wear a wax ring.

For a toilet setting on a tile floor, I am replacing a failing wax ring with my installation. The cast iron flange protrudes roughly 1/4" from the tile floor. Even after being caulked, this toilet develops a tiny rock. Wax rings have a life expectancy of 3–4 years as a result of this mixed with regular toilet plunging. Therefore, this was not my first time using this job or this restroom. I used a hair dryer to dry the area under and around the flange after removing the toilet paper and the old wax ring to prevent the flange from potentially rusting.I placed the whole set of foam seals in accordance with the directions for a flange that is below the floor (layers are removed when the flange is flush with or above the floor). Utilizing the replacement closet bolts and hardware that were provided, position the toilet on the new seal and fasten it to the floor. I kept the nuts loose enough to put a tiny bead of caulk between the toilet and the tile while snugging the nuts just enough to seat the seal. There were no leaks after connecting the water line and flushing the toilet four to five times to check. applied a bead of sealant and, being careful not to overtighten, tightened the nuts just enough to keep the toilet from wobbling. For me, installation was simple and without any surprises. If you've never done this task before, there are a ton of videos online that can walk you through it. The product's manufacturer even includes a video on how to install it. I skipped the video because the directions are clear and I am already familiar with the work.Regarding seal quality, there were no visible manufacturing flaws, and the construction looked solid. The product is American-made. In our home, there are two bathrooms. If there are no unanticipated issues with the current product, I'll use it to replace the remaining wax seal. I will update this review if I do experience issues with the product in the future.

When I first ordered these, I wasn't certain if they would function. I was setting up a brand-new American Standard Champion toilet that had tall bolt covers and large hold-down screws. Brass and stainless steel were used to make the DANCO toilet hold-down bolts, therefore I was drawn to these materials because they do not rust. Depending on the plumber and the circumstances surrounding the installation, toilet flanges may be high or low. I had a new porcelain tile floor with an Oatey low-profile flange on top of it. The hold-down bolt slots in the stainless ring of the flange provided just enough room for the tiny brass bases to fit. These DANCO bases contain a cylindrical "nut" that you must loosen just enough to allow the base to slip under the flange slot. The brass base slides under the top of the flange and into the flange's bolt slot while the nut remains on top of the flange. The bases are then placed on opposite sides of the flange, each base at the appropriate distance from the wall (in my instance, a standard 12 inches). Then, using the two blue plastic guides that DANCO offers, you may install the toilet onto the flange by inserting them into the mounting holes of the toilet base. A ridge on each blue guide acts as a thickness mark. You won't need the extension included in the kit if the toilet mounting "lip" enables the mark to be higher than the surface of the toilet lip. Simply insert the stainless steel bolt into the bases after removing the blue plastic guides from the bases if the mark is above the lip and hand-tighten the bolts using a plastic piece that goes around the bolt's head. It snugly and easily tightens down. The fact that there are no towering plastic hoods protruding from the toilet lips is fantastic. The bolt heads are covered by caps, resulting in a tidy, low-profile installation. Plus, none of the parts are made of corroding steel or iron! The end product's caliber and design shocked me! The purchase is priceless!

How shall I put it? a great cat toy! They appeal to my cat. I keep buying them since they inevitably wind up in the prison camps for catnip mice under the couch and behind the refrigerator. Although I have found some great deals on other brands, my cat will only buy Kohler products. When she attacks them, Koler's bounce in a different way since they are more flexible.Oh yes, I too have seven Kohler toilets that are equipped with these bolt caps. They serve the purpose they were designed to serve by concealing the unattractive end of the bolt holding the toilet to the floor. They have a good gloss and a uniform white color. Additionally, they have a disk that can be used to screw them down, preventing my cat from grabbing them when she runs out.

Due to the unfavorable reviews, I was hesitant to buy this product, but after installing it in a 1987 American Standard for a few months, I believe I can say with confidence that if you are careful and follow the instructions carefully (and they are a little complex), you'll be happy with your purchase. A new dual flush toilet costs $250, therefore $30 is less expensive and saves 100 pounds of ceramic from going to the landfill.I do have some suggestions for potential buyers of this device:Before installing the device, read the instructions carefully once. Although it's good practice for any installation, I would say that these instructions are beyond the scope of the average layperson. Additionally, you can't really rely on the manufacturer's help — During business hours, I called twice and was transferred to voicemail both times. No one ever called me back. Fortunately, I was able to fix my issue on my own (see "Third," below).Second, every portion of this device that moves locks into or comes out of place with a loud snapping sound, and everything about putting it up takes /firm/ pressure. During installation and calibration, you'll likely believe you've broken something at least once. Don't be scared by it. Don't be overly kind, but also be careful.Third, the blue float (which determines how much water to use in a light flush) is already set to the highest position when you install the dual-flush converter (the smallest possible amount of water). The instructions will ask you to test light-flush the toilet as part of the calibration process, sliding the blue float downward each time until the bowl drains entirely.I found that continually light-flushing the toilet will result in a false positive result (a light flush will be successful when the blue float is still set too high), which can be annoying (and gross). Only four clicks from the maximum setting, I discovered that test light-flushing the toilet gave me falsely successful light flushes, but I needed to be roughly five clicks from the lowest setting to have consistently successful flushing over the course of several days. This still uses a lot less water than a full flush does!This is what I advise:1) Install the gadget as directed, then calibrate it.2) Firmly press the blue float down until it is at its lowest point (the largest possible amount of water). Again, don't panic; you haven't broken anything. This will produce a loud ratcheting noise.3) Go to the bathroom regularly for a day or two.4) After confirming that the toilet always successfully light-flushes at this level, raise the blue float by three clicks.5) Keep repeating steps 2-4 up until you start experiencing unsuccessful light flushes.6) Depress the blue float one click downward.7) Go to the bathroom as usual for a day or two.8) If failed light flushes begin to occur, repeat steps 6 and 7 until they stop.9) Feel secure knowing that your light flush is adjusted correctly.Purchased two more for the bathrooms upstairs!May 2014 Update: I've found that in all three of my installations, the most recent of which I completed just last year, the supplied zip-tie holding the flush meter to the fill pipe has snapped.I don't think this is a serious flaw because the rubber o-ring around the fill pipe appears to still be holding the gasket in place, but if this is your first installation, you might want to use a stronger zip tie instead of the one that comes with the kit.December 2014 Update: Since this review receives so much attention, I should be upfront and say that one of my installations failed after roughly 26 months. My other two are still going strong, therefore I think there was no manufacturing flaw in the gadget. One of these was Kaboom with OxiClean Scrub Free, and we had it! A highly concentrated cleaning solution appeared to be pouring into the tank from System-1 CT after it was installed. My theory is that the flush valve's internal seal got eaten by the cleaning solution in the tank, which happens occasionally. No cleaning agent of any type should ever be placed in the toilet tank.The leak was small and happened slowly, but every time it did, the basement of the house was shaken by a loud pinging. It had to go because I was unable to fix it by turning the valve. We concluded that 25 years was a good run and installed one of these instead of installing another one of these devices: Concealed Trapway Cadet 3 Right Height Elongated Flowise 1.28 gpf Toilet with Seat, White, American Standard 2989.101.020Update from December 2017: After five and a half years, my two remaining installations are still operating flawlessly.

These came in two orders, and I used one while teaching my son how to install it. I bought these to replace two toilet repair kits that were two years old and turned out to be useless. The brand of repair kit from Danco is of higher grade. The last manufacturer whose product I had to fix was Pits. I had to keep correcting it, and eventually the screw tip of the plastic float rod or arm broke off within the screw neck of the plastic float ball, necessitating the replacement of the entire unit. The Danco brand is a higher-quality product, and I particularly enjoy the metal arm since it allays my concerns about the float rod or arm breaking off at the tip inside of the plastic float ball's neck. I should also mention how simple the installation was—so simple, in fact, that I didn't need to tweak the device after it was set up. I'll probably buy two more of these things. I'm pleased with this purchase.
It typically takes a plumber between 1 and 2 hours to install a toilet. This time frame can be affected by a number of factors, such as the complexity of the installation, the size and type of toilet being installed, and the experience level of the plumber.
A plumber will typically charge between $75 and $150 to replace a toilet flange. The actual cost will depend on the type of flange being replaced, the complexity of the job, and the plumber's hourly rate.
Home Depot charges $269.00 to install a toilet. This price includes the cost of the toilet, which is typically around $100.00. The cost of installation also includes the cost of any necessary materials, such as a new wax ring and screws. Home Depot's installation fee does not include the cost of any necessary repairs, such as fixing a leaky flange.
It really depends on the situation. If you have a plumber come and do it for you, it could cost anywhere from $100-$200. However, if you're handy and can do it yourself, it should only cost around $20 for the materials.
There is no easy answer when it comes to deciding whether to replace or repair a toilet. Ultimately, the decision comes down to a number of factors, including the age and condition of the toilet, the cost of replacement parts and the cost of labor. If the toilet is old and in poor condition, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. Likewise, if the toilet needs expensive parts or repairs, it may be cheaper to replace the entire unit. On the other hand, if the toilet is relatively new and in good condition, it may be more cost-effective to
