Why Do You Need a New Toilet Bowl?
Many people find themselves looking for toilet installation services when their fixtures are getting old, or they’re planning home renovations.
Common scenarios we see include:
- Your current toilet is showing its age through constant running, poor flushing or frequent blockages. These issues usually mean it’s time to replace rather than repair. Older toilets are more susceptible to these issues due to their aging infrastructure.
- A bathroom renovation is the perfect time to upgrade to a modern, water-saving toilet that matches your new design and saves you money on your water bills. Ensure the new toilet bowl is properly installed and aligned with the existing plumbing.
- Building a new home or adding an extra bathroom requires expert installation to get everything working perfectly from day one.
How Our Toilet Installation Process Works
At Canberra Plumbing & Drains, we have streamlined our toilet installation process to make it easy and stress-free for you. Our service starts with us understanding your needs – whether you want a basic or a premium model with all the bells and whistles.
We start by inspecting your bathroom and existing plumbing to identify any potential issues before we begin and to recommend the best toilet for your situation. We also inspect the area around the drain opening to identify any water damage or issues before installation.
During installation, our licensed plumbers:
- Remove your old toilet safely and dispose of it correctly. Remove old toilet bolts and install new toilet bolts to secure the new bowl in place.
- Install new fittings and ensure everything is aligned. Align and tighten closet bolts to ensure stable installation and proper sealing.
- Test all connections. Check the fill valve to ensure it is functioning properly for optimal flush performance.
- Clean the area completely. Install a new wax ring to ensure proper sealing and prevent leaks.
- Show you how to use and maintain your new toilet. Ensure the toilet base is level, securely bolted to the floor, and properly sealed to prevent leaks.
Why Choose Professional Installation Instead of DIY
When you choose professional installation through Canberra Plumbing & Drains, you’re investing in long-term reliability. Professional installation prevents:
- Leaking seals that waste water and damage your bathroom floor. Properly positioning and securing the wax ring during installation is crucial.
- Poor venting that causes bad smells
- Unstable mounting that causes wobbling or movement. Ensuring the toilet’s base is properly caulked ensures stability and prevents leaks.
- Poor drainage means weak flushing. Properly connecting the water supply line is essential to ensure functionality and prevent leaks.
Our team ensures every aspect of your installation meets Australian standards so you can have peace of mind the job is done right.

Toilet Installation FAQs
Do you service all areas of Canberra?
Yes, we service all areas of Canberra and surrounding suburbs, including Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden, Tuggeranong and more.
What do I need to do before you arrive?
Clear a path to your bathroom and remove any valuable or fragile items from the area. We’ll take care of the rest, including protecting your floors and fixtures during the installation.
How long does an installation take?
A standard installation takes 2-3 hours. This includes removing the old toilet, preparing the area, installing the new unit and testing everything.
The steps involved in a typical toilet installation include draining the toilet tank, securely connecting the toilet tank to the bowl, and ensuring all components of the toilet suite are properly fitted. More complex installations involving changes to plumbing or flooring may take longer.
What types of toilets do you install?
We install all major brands and styles of toilets – standard close-coupled, wall-hung, back-to-wall and smart toilets. It is important to select the right type of toilet suite for your bathroom layout. We can help you choose the right one for your bathroom layout, budget and preferences.
The process of attaching the toilet tank to the bowl and ensuring secure connections is crucial for a successful installation.
Do I need to supply the toilet or can you?
We can work either way. If you’ve already got a toilet, we can install it. If you prefer, we can supply a toilet, and we offer competitive prices on quality brands. We’ll discuss options and provide quotes for both.
What if we find problems during the installation?
Our initial inspection helps prevent surprises, but if we find damaged flooring or outdated plumbing, we’ll discuss it with you straight away. We’ll explain what needs to be fixed, why and provide a clear price before we do any additional work.
Do I need a building permit for a toilet installation?
Most simple toilet replacements don’t require a permit. However, if we’re adding a new bathroom or significantly changing the plumbing layout, a permit may be needed. We’ll handle all permit requirements and ensure we comply with local regulations.
What’s the warranty on installations?
Our work is fully warranted. The toilet itself will be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which we’ll register for you. If any issues arise from our installation, we’ll fix them for free.
Will you remove and dispose of my old toilet?
Yes, removal and responsible disposal of your old toilet is included in our service. We’ll take care of everything, leaving you nothing to worry about.
