While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.

The cost of making a bathroom accessible can be $3,000 to $25,000, but you could spend as much as $50,000 building a brand-new ADA-compliant bathroom. Some bathroom accessibility upgrades to consider include:

• Installing grab bars: $100–$500 

• Lowering cabinets and vanities: $1,200–$2,500

• Installing modified doors: $700–$1,500

• Installing a modified toilet: $400–$1,000

• Installing an accessible sink and faucet: $100–$1,000

• Adding a walk-in tub: $1,100–$17,000

• Converting a bathtub into a walk-in tub: $350–$1,000

• Installing a wheelchair-accessible shower: $2,000–$7,500

• Installing a shower ramp: $16–$300

Yes, an ambitious homeowner could decide to replace their own toilet. A person attempting to do a DIY toilet installation should keep in mind that the average toilet weighs between 100 and 120 pounds. That means that you'll need to be comfortable lifting and carrying your old toilet and replacement toilet during both phases of the project. Additionally, homeowners will need to have basic plumbing knowledge to avoid plumbing problems that could result in messy, expensive water damage in their bathrooms. Hiring a plumbing pro from the get-go can help you avoid damaging your plumbing or your new toilet.

Common problems include leaks, clogs, and low water pressure. Regular maintenance prevents major disruptions.
