Professional Toilet Installation Services in Hobart

Most standard toilet replacements take us 3-4 hours from start to finish. That includes removing your old toilet, disposing of it, installing the new one, testing everything thoroughly, and cleaning up. Wall-hung toilets with concealed cisterns take longer—usually a full day because we need to open the wall, mount the frame, and install the concealed cistern. If we find issues with your existing plumbing or floor damage, that adds time, but we’ll let you know before we proceed with any extra work.

Yes, we can install the toilets you’ve purchased yourself. Just make sure you’ve got the right rough-in measurement—that’s the distance from the wall to the waste outlet. Most Hobart homes have either a 90mm or a 120mm rough-in. If you’re unsure, give us a call before you buy, and we can come measure it for you. We’d rather save you the hassle of returning a toilet that doesn’t fit.

Absolutely. We disconnect your old toilet, remove it carefully to avoid damaging your floor, and take it away for proper disposal. You don’t need to hire a trailer or worry about getting it to the tip. It’s all included in our installation price.

Not if it’s done properly, which is how we do it. We’re careful when removing old toilets because we know many Hobart homes have original tiles that can’t be replaced. If your floor’s already damaged from a leaking toilet—which happens more often than you’d think—we’ll assess it and let you know what needs fixing before we install the new toilet.

We’ll stop and explain exactly what we’ve found, what it’ll cost to fix, and why it needs fixing. Common issues in older Hobart homes include corroded waste flanges, damaged floor structures, or outdated pipe connections. We never do extra work without your approval first. Sometimes these problems are safety issues or will cause leaks later, so we’ll be honest about what’s necessary versus what’s optional.

Generally, no, not for a simple toilet replacement. We’re licensed plumbers, so standard toilet installations are covered under our license. If you’re doing a full bathroom renovation that includes moving plumbing or structural changes, that’s different—council permits may be required. We handle all the compliance documentation and can advise you on what’s needed for your specific situation.

Yes, comfort height toilets are one of our most requested installations, especially in Hobart, where many families have elderly parents living with them or visiting regularly. The seat sits at 460-480mm instead of the standard 400mm, making it much easier to stand up and sit down. They use the same floor space as regular toilets, so no bathroom modifications are needed.

Wax rings have been the standard for decades—they create a watertight seal between the toilet and waste pipe. Rubber seals are newer technology, don’t compress over time like wax can, and some plumbers prefer them. We use both depending on the situation. Either way, when installed correctly, they both prevent leaks and last for years.
