Toilet Installation
Does your toilet run all night, wobble when you sit down, or clog more than it should? Joliet Bathroom Remodeling installs and replaces toilets of every type, from standard-height two-piece models to taller, one-piece designs with modern flushing systems. A toilet is one of the least expensive fixtures to upgrade, and if yours dates back 20 years or more, a newer model can cut your water use in a way you'll see on your bill. Tell us what matters most and we'll point you to a model that makes sense.
Where a New Toilet Fits in Your Project
On a full remodel, the toilet goes in near the end, once the floor is finished and before the final trim and caulk. If the toilet is the only thing being replaced, the process is much more contained: we measure the distance from the wall to the drain, turn off the water, remove the old toilet, and set the new one. We'll let you know exactly when it fits into your schedule.
How Much Does It Cost to Install a Toilet?
Toilet replacement is among the most budget-friendly bathroom upgrades, especially compared to shower or tub work. The price goes up if the flange is damaged, if the shutoff valve or supply line needs replacing, or if your drain sits at a different distance from the wall than the new toilet expects. We'll give you a written estimate up front.
Can I Install a Toilet on My Own?
Plenty of homeowners take this on, but it's easy to get wrong. If the toilet isn't level, the wax ring doesn't compress evenly, or the bolts are tightened too much and crack the porcelain, you can end up with a small leak at the base that slowly soaks into the subfloor. We install every toilet so it's level, sealed, and stable.

What to Look for in a New Toilet
There's more to choosing a toilet than picking a color. Height is a good place to start: standard toilets sit around 15 inches high, while comfort-height models sit closer to chair height, which many adults find easier on their knees. Bowl shape is next — elongated bowls give you a larger seat, while round bowls save a few inches in a tight bathroom. One-piece toilets have no gap between the tank and bowl, which makes them easier to clean, but two-piece models usually cost less. Since today's toilets are built to use far less water per flush than older ones, flushing power varies quite a bit from brand to brand, so checking reviews is worth the time. Dual-flush buttons, pressure-assist tanks, skirted bases that hide the trapway, soft-close lids, and bidet seats are all available as well. We'll help you weigh the features that matter most for your household.
