Toilet Repair & Replacement

A constantly running toilet can waste over 200 gallons of water per day, while a slow-flushing or rocking unit signals internal wear or an improper seal at the floor flange. Thomas's Santa Monica Plumbing handles the full spectrum of toilet problems: worn flapper valves, broken fill assemblies, cracked porcelain tanks, failed wax ring seals, and loose or corroded supply lines. We carry common repair parts on our service vehicles so most repairs are completed in a single visit.

When repair isn't practical — or when you want to upgrade to a modern low-flow or dual-flush model — we install new toilets from brands that meet California's water efficiency standards. Santa Monica is part of a region with strict water conservation goals, and replacing an older 3.5-gallon-per-flush toilet with a WaterSense-certified 1.28-gallon model can produce meaningful long-term water bill savings. We handle everything from removing the old unit to setting the wax ring, installing the new fixture, and verifying a leak-free seal.

We also address less obvious toilet problems: gurgling sounds that indicate a partial drain blockage, sewage odors from a dried or missing P-trap, and slow-filling tanks caused by a faulty ballcock or float assembly. If your toilet issues keep recurring, we'll camera-inspect the drain line to rule out a deeper obstruction before recommending repeated repairs.
