Toilet Repair in Ajax, ON

Why Toilet Leaks Are Worth Fixing Quickly

A running toilet can waste hundreds of litres of water a day, based on estimates from the EPA WaterSense program. Because the water goes straight down the drain, many people don’t notice until the water bill arrives. A leak at the base is worse: it soaks into the subfloor, where it can cause rot and mould long before you see a stain.

Simple test for a silent toilet leak

1. Add a few drops of food colouring to the tank.
2. Wait 15 minutes without flushing.
3. If colour shows up in the bowl, the flapper is leaking and needs replacing.

Toilet Repair or New Toilet?

Most toilet repairs in Ajax are simple part swaps, such as a flapper, fill valve, flush handle or wax ring. These take an hour or less and cost far less than a new toilet. We usually suggest replacement when:

• The bowl or tank is cracked, even a hairline crack.
• The toilet clogs often because of an old, low-performing design.
• It is an older model that uses much more water per flush than new ones.
• You are updating the bathroom and want a matching look.

For toilet replacement or toilet installation in Ajax, we remove the old unit, check the flange, install the new toilet with a fresh seal and test it with several flushes.

What Our Toilet Repair Visit Includes

We check the whole toilet, not just the part you noticed. That means the fill valve, flapper, flush handle, tank bolts, supply line, shut-off valve and the seal at the floor. Many toilet problems have more than one cause, and fixing only one can leave you calling again next month.

After the repair, we flush several times, check for leaks around the tank and base, and make sure the water stops at the right level. You get a clear explanation of what we replaced and why.

Common toilet parts we replace

• Flapper: the rubber seal behind most running toilets.
• Fill valve: controls how the tank refills and how high the water sits.
• Flush handle and chain: loose, sticking or broken handles.
• Wax ring: the seal under the toilet that stops leaks at the base.
• Supply line and shut-off valve: worn or leaking connections at the wall.

We carry the most common parts, so most toilet repairs in Ajax are finished in a single visit.

What Affects the Cost of Toilet Repair?

Every toilet repair is a little different, so we price each job upfront after a quick look. A few things make the biggest difference:

• The part needed. A new flapper or fill valve costs far less than replacing the wax ring and resetting the toilet.
• Access and condition. Corroded bolts, a damaged flange or a tight space can add time.
• Repair or replace. A new toilet costs more upfront, but a modern low-flow model can save water every day.
• Timing. Urgent after-hours calls may be priced differently from a planned visit.

You always get the price before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the bill.

What to Do If Your Toilet Is Overflowing

Turn the shut-off valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops. If you can’t reach it, lift the tank lid and raise the float to stop the fill. Then call us on (437) 476-0410. We are open 24/7.
