Typical prices in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in 2026, before tax. They are a guide, not our quote. Too much depends on your home to price these jobs unseen, so your price is set on site, in writing, before any work starts.
When you need it
- The toilet runs on and off by itself
- Water on the floor around the base
- The toilet rocks, or the flush is weak
What changes the price
| Which part failed | A flapper or fill valve is a short visit. A cracked tank is a replacement. |
|---|---|
| Lifting the toilet | A leak at the base means pulling the toilet to replace the seal. |
| The floor underneath | A long-running leak can rot the floor flange, which then needs repair. |
What the job involves
- Find the fault: dye in the tank shows a leaking flapper, and a look at the base shows a failed seal.
- Replace the worn parts, such as the flapper, the fill valve, the handle or the supply line.
- If the leak is at the floor, lift the toilet, replace the seal and check the flange.
- Flush several times and check the base and connections for leaks.
- Time on site
- Usually 30 to 60 minutes

Why does my toilet keep running?
Most often a worn flapper that no longer seals, or a fill valve that does not shut off. Both are inexpensive parts.
Is a rocking toilet a problem?
Yes. Movement breaks the seal at the floor, and the leak that follows rots the subfloor without ever showing on top.
Should I repair or replace it?
Repair is worth it unless the porcelain is cracked, the toilet clogs constantly, or it is an old model that uses a lot of water.
