Get matched with top toilet pros in Whitehall, MT

Q: What order should a bathroom remodel be done?

• <div><p>Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a new toilet flange over an old one?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>However, if you&rsquo;re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you&rsquo;ve installed a new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-trending-bathroom-tile.htm">type of bathroom tile</a> (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.</p></div>

Q: Should the toilet tank empty completely when flushed?

• <div><p>No, your toilet tank should not empty completely when you flush. Although the water level will dip a lot after you flush, it shouldn&rsquo;t be totally empty. If your tank is empty, you might have issues with your fill valve, float ball, or toilet trip lever. You should check all of your toilet parts to ensure they&rsquo;re working correctly and make any necessary adjustments.</p></div>

Q: Can a toilet and shower share the same drain?

• <div><p>Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn&rsquo;t always the case&mdash;especially in older homes&mdash;but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It&rsquo;s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a toilet seal ring?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-toilet-repairs-cost.htm">cost to replace a toilet seal ring</a> is around <b>$50 to $200</b> if you hire a pro to do the job. If you do it yourself, you&rsquo;ll only need to pay for the supplies. Wax rings alone cost anywhere from <b>$5 to $25</b> at hardware stores and can save you a lot of money compared to having a professional installation. At the same time, a licensed plumber knows how to properly install your new wax ring to prevent premature issues down the line.</p></div>
