Toilet replacement cost in the US.
The old toilet lifted off the flange, a new wax ring set, the new unit bolted down and connected. Half the price is the fixture you chose.
The same wrench costs different money in different places, because the hand holding it does. Pick your city for the local band, the upsells and the script.
- 01Shut the valve behind the toilet and flush to empty the tank.
- 02If water is coming from the base, mop it and keep it dry — a leak at the base is rotting the subfloor now.
- 03Photograph the bolt caps, the flange if visible, and the floor around the base.
DIY is genuinely reachable here if two people can lift it and the flange is sound. Pro if the floor is soft or the flange is broken.
- A flange repair or subfloor work added on-site at several hundred, without showing you the flange.
- A pivot from repairing a $15 fill valve to selling a whole new fixture.
- Permit fees of $75–$100 on a like-for-like swap that most jurisdictions do not permit.
One-piece, wall-hung or bidet-seat models take the same labour past $1,400. The labour did not change; the fixture did.
National band from published US cost guides, 2026 editions. Adjusted for this metro by scaling only the labour share of the job by the metro's median plumber wage against the national median of $34.70/hr (BLS OEWS, May 2025). Parts are not scaled.
Comparable quotes from this metro in our Price book: 0. This band is derived from national guides and local wage data, not from local quotes. We will say so on this page until it is not true.
If you think a figure here is wrong, write to pricebook@getitplumming.com with the quote. Corrections go into the next edition and we do not argue with an invoice.
Angi and HomeGuide agree on roughly $350–$400 typical installed, from $220 with a basic two-piece unit.
