Our toilet repair service takes care of the most common bathroom plumbing problems: a toilet that runs all night, a slow or weak flush, water around the base, a rocking bowl or a tank that leaks at the bolts. We carry fill valves, flappers, flush valves, wax rings and closet bolts on the truck, so most toilet repairs are finished in one visit.
Hard water and older cast-iron drain lines are common in St. Petersburg homes, and both are tough on toilets. Mineral buildup wears out valves early, and corroded flanges let the bowl rock until the wax seal fails. We fix the flange properly instead of stacking wax rings, which is the shortcut that leads to hidden subfloor rot.
Small leaks cost more than you think
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, and a slow leak at the base can rot the subfloor before you see a stain. Catching these early is one of the cheapest repairs in a house. We also handle related minor plumbing like faucet cartridges, shut-off valves and supply lines.

Toilet and plumbing jobs we handle
We focus on fixture-level plumbing that a skilled handyman can do safely and correctly:
- running, phantom-flushing or weak-flushing toilets
- leaks at the base, tank bolts or supply line
- broken or corroded toilet flanges
- new toilet, faucet and shut-off valve installs
When to call a licensed plumber instead
We do not open walls to re-pipe, replace water heaters or work on main sewer lines. Those jobs require a licensed plumbing contractor in Florida, and we will tell you straight away if what you are describing falls into that category.
For everything at the fixture level, a handyman visit is usually faster and more affordable. If we find something bigger while we are there, such as a cracked drain line under the floor, we stop, show you, and point you to a plumber we trust.

01. Diagnose the leak
We dye-test the tank, check the base and supply line and find the actual failure.
02. Repair or replace parts
Worn valves, seals or bolts are replaced, or a new toilet is set on a sound flange.
03. Test and clean
Several test flushes, a dry check around the base and a clean bathroom when we leave.
Toilet & Plumbing Repair FAQs
Most of the time it is a worn flapper or a fill valve that does not shut off. Both are inexpensive parts and we usually replace them in under an hour.
Most toilet repairs cost $125 to $250 including parts. Installing a new toilet you supply runs about $225 to $350, including hauling away the old one.
Yes. It usually means the wax seal or flange has failed, and water can soak the subfloor. Turn off the supply valve behind the toilet and call us.
No. We are a handyman company and handle fixture-level repairs. For work that requires a licensed plumber in Florida, we will refer you to one.
