The cost of a new toilet varies significantly based on whether you are buying a budget, mid-range, or luxury model, typically ranging from £50 to over £4,000 for the unit alone, with most homeowners spending between £150 and £500 for a quality, reliable toilet. When factoring in installation by a professional, the total cost often ranges from £300 to over £1,000.
How much does it cost to install a new toilet and remove the old one?
The average cost of toilet installation or replacement varies by market, but ranges from $225 to $375. If you've already purchased a toilet from The Home Depot, we can install it for you with proof of purchase. If you're replacing, our installers can remove your old toilet.
There's no denying the fact that a well-cared-for toilet can last you up to 50 years. However, most homeowners opt for upgrading their toilets around the 20- to 25-year mark.
By investing in a well-made toilet, you minimize leaks that can damage your bathroom floors and surrounding areas. Such damage can lead to expensive repairs, mold growth, and even structural issues in severe cases.
One standout differences is that one-piece toilets offer sleek designs, are easier to clean due to fewer crevices, and are generally more space-efficient, but tend to be heavier. Two-piece toilets are cheaper, have a wider selection, and are easier to install, but harder to clean.
Installing a new toilet is a job that we recommend you leave to the professionals. Dealing with running water in a pressurised system and navigating waste systems without the right knowledge and experience can pose a health and safety risk.
If you're looking for the cheapest, run-of-the-mill toilets, then expect to pay at least £100. However, you may find a lack of quality in some of these cheaper options. There are a lot of basic models out there that can cost between £125-£400 and others that sit around £400-£800 or more.
If you spend more on high-quality white towels and rugs, your casual bathroom can appear more luxurious. Also, make everything look cohesive and accessorize with natural materials to go with your white linens. Use attractive sheets, textiles, and even window treatment material to decorate your shower space.
Toilet seals are durable, but they will wear out over time, especially if your toilet bowl is older. It is recommended they be replaced every three to five years. If you notice your toilet seal has started to loosen from the base of the toilet or on the floor, you should replace it.
A 1.28 gpf toilet saves approximately 20% more water per flush than a 1.6 gpf toilet with 1.6 gallons per flush, potentially translating to an additional 2,300 gallons of water saved annually for an average family of four.
You can expect to pay $400 to $750 for a standard two-piece toilet installation, depending on the brand and flushing technology. They're widely available, reliable, and easier to transport, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners.
