"We were pleased with the price and my husband said the owner was very easy to work with.  We knew this was a small job (not much money involved), and the owner came out himself to check things out and give a quote.  The bathroom is very small and hard to manuever, but we were disappointed that the workemen left scratches on doors and the wood frame.  No big deal, they can be cleaned up with a little Old English.  After the tub was installed, the area around the tub was plastered by the workmen that day and they said they were done.  Of course, since it was thick, it cracked while it dried.  But, the owner came out a day or so later and re-plastered it.  It cracked a little less during the curing time and my husband was able to fix it and repaint the bathroom.  If you don't have someone that is handy, keep this in mind.  While I love the new bathtub, there are a few concerns.  First, the scratches on the door and woodwork.  Hard to avoid with the size of this bathroom. So, that was almost understandable.   But, the men put their tools in the sink without protection.  This left surface scratches in a new sink.  While they were installing the tub, they mentioned that they would have to take out the toilet to fit it in.  Since we wanted a new toilet anyway, my husband went out and purchased a new toilet while they were working.  They installed the new toilet (rather than putting the old one back in, so it wasn't extra work), but after they did that, they stood on the brand new toilet cover with work shoes and put scratch marks on the cover!     During the last meeting with the owner, my husband showed him and he said he would bring a new toilet cover the next day.  My husband told him no rush ... but it's been about six weeks now, and we haven't heard anything.  The last thing is that while I was taking a bath, I noticed that one of the tub joints under the faucet was not caulked.  My husband did it himself. Not sure if these problems happened because it was a small job and almost a losing prop for the company.  But, I'm asked all the time for references and we (and my family) do have a lot more work we would like done.  As friendly and easy the company/owner is to work with, I can't recommend them without the caveat that you might need to have someone handy to "finish up". "

Toilets questions, answered by experts

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

The cost to install a new toilet typically runs from $225 to $530. This doesn’t include the price of the toilet itself, which can cost $90 to $1,500 depending on the model and features you choose. You can save money if you choose to install a toilet yourself. However, you might want to hire a pro for this project.

"Due to the many complexities of replacing a toilet flange, it is typically a job best left to the pros," says Jeff Botelho, Angi Expert Review Board member and plumber. "Many times it isn't as simple and straightforward as 'pop off the old one and pop on a new one' because the flange is either glued on (PVC/ABS), soldered on (brass/copper), or caulked in place with a lead & oakum joint (cast iron) and none of these things can be easily reversed without years of training and repetitive practice."

According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.

You should replace your toilet at least every 25 years. While toilets are pretty sturdy appliances, they don’t last forever. Even if you aren’t ready to invest in the cost of a bathroom remodel yet, just replacing your toilet will help freshen up your space and keep your bathroom functioning.

The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.

A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.

Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.
