"It was over a weekend. They called me back right away and they explained that they would have to charge an extra service charge if they came right out that day. But since we had other toilets in the house we opted to wait until their Monday hours, so we could be saving some money by doing that. I appreciated that tip. They came and did the work with the appointment that we set up."

"I called Top Notch plumbing in the afternoon and the following morning at 8:00AM, they were at my door and ready to work. My immediate reaction was their friendly introduction and then an explanation of what work would be required to correct our plumbing problems. I was very aware of exactly what was required to fix the toilets. There were no surprises. The overall approach by Top Notch was very professional, nice "chit-chat" during the work and a bill that matched exactly the work completed. I regard Top Notch as a highly dependable plumbing service, fairly priced, knowledgeable trouble shooting and would be welcome in my home anytime. At age 71, I have met many plumbers over the years and I would regard Top Notch as an A+ company."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

If you decide to replace the toilet flapper yourself, the only cost will be buying the new flapper for around $5 to $17. You can also hire a plumber or handyperson to take on the job instead, in which case you’ll pay an hourly rate for labor plus the cost of parts. Handypersons charge $50 to $150 per hour, while plumbers cost $45 to $200 per hour. This repair might take less than an hour for your pro, but note that many providers have a minimum rate for a house call. 

If your toilet is still leaking after replacing the toilet flapper, then you may not have installed the toilet flapper correctly. Double-check that you have placed the flapper over the overflow tube correctly, and check the flapper chain is at the right length. If your toilet is still leaking, then you may have another problem on hand. For example, you may need to replace the toilet wax ring or replace the toilet fill valve if your toilet is wobbly and leaking from around the base.

A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place. 

However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new type of bathroom tile (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.

Tools include pipe wrenches, plungers, and augers. Professionals use advanced equipment for complex issues.

Sealant doesn’t need to be applied to the bolts, but it can be a good way to stop an active leak in the moment. However, don’t rely on it as a cure-all; instead, make sure to fix the problem at the source by changing or tightening the bolts. 

If you do use sealant, make sure to spread it thickly and evenly across the bolts and the tank's porcelain.
