Toilet Installation for Homes Across the GTA
A new toilet should sit solid, seal fully and flush cleanly for years. That depends on what happens under it as much as the toilet itself.

Signs it is time to call
Replacing a cracked bowl, upgrading from an old high-volume toilet, changing to a comfort-height model, or adding a toilet in a new bathroom are common reasons. Before shopping, measure the rough-in: wall surface to the centre of the floor bolts; twelve inches is typical but ten and fourteen exist in older homes.
A toilet is only as steady as the flange it is bolted to.
On the job, step by step
- Shut and drain, disconnect the supply, lift the old bowl off and stuff a rag in the closet bend.
- Check flange and floor sheathing, fixing whatever has rotted or cracked.
- Set a new seal, wax or foam, matched to the flange height above the floor.
- Set the bowl, tighten bolts evenly, using shims where the tile is uneven.
- Install tank and new braided supply with a quarter-turn stop.
- Test flush repeatedly and check for seepage.
GTA houses and what they change
New tile raises the floor, sometimes leaving the flange below grade; an extender ring fixes that. Old bathrooms may have a corroded compression stop that will not shut fully, which we replace. A wall-mounted bowl rides on a steel frame inside the wall, so it belongs in a gut renovation plan.
- Rough-in measured
- Flange checked
- New supply line and stop

Common questions
Should a toilet be caulked to the floor?
Many installers caulk the front and sides yet leave a gap at the rear so any future seep becomes visible rather of rotting the floor unseen.
