New wax ring, flange bolts, supply line, and shutoff valve — every connection installed and tested by a licensed master plumber. Midtown Plumbing installs toilets across the GTA 7 days a week, with same-day availability and a clear upfront price before any work begins.
A toilet installation looks straightforward until the old unit comes off the floor. The condition of the flange, the height of the rough-in, and the state of the shutoff valve only become visible once the work begins. Midtown Plumbing assesses all of this before a single connection is made — so any issue is identified, quoted, and resolved in the same visit rather than discovered after the new toilet is sitting on an uneven or corroded base. Available across the GTA, 7 days a week, with same-day scheduling and a written price before any work starts. See all plumbing services available across the service area.
What's Included
Toilet Installation Services
Standard replacements, first-time installations, flange repairs, and comfort height upgrades — handled in a single visit.
Standard Toilet Replacement
The existing toilet is shut off, drained, and removed. A new wax ring is set, the toilet is bolted securely to the flange, and the supply line is connected and leak-tested. If the old shutoff valve is stiff or corroded, it is replaced as part of the job — not left as a potential failure point behind the new installation.
First-Time Installation
Installing a toilet where none existed requires a rough-in assessment to confirm the flange position, supply line run, and drain connection. Midtown Plumbing evaluates the bathroom plumbing layout and provides a written quote before any work begins. The rough-in dimensions are confirmed against the new toilet's specifications before the unit is set.
Toilet Flange Repair
A cracked, broken, or corroded flange is one of the most common causes of a toilet that rocks or leaks at the base. Midtown Plumbing inspects the flange when the old toilet is removed and repairs or reinforces it before setting the new unit. A wax ring alone cannot compensate for a compromised flange — the base needs to be solid.
Shutoff Valve Replacement
Older angle stop valves behind toilets in GTA homes — particularly those installed in the 1980s and 1990s — are known to seize or fail under load. If the existing shutoff cannot be operated cleanly, it is replaced during the installation so the homeowner has a working, reliable isolation point at the toilet.
Comfort Height & Dual-Flush Upgrade
Swapping a standard-height toilet for a taller comfort height model, or upgrading to a dual-flush unit for water efficiency, involves the same installation process as a standard replacement. Midtown Plumbing advises on rough-in dimensions and any adjustments needed before the new model is ordered or delivered.
Post-Renovation Reconnection
After bathroom tile work, flooring replacement, or a full renovation, the toilet often needs to be reset on a new floor height with an updated wax ring or flange extension. Midtown Plumbing reconnects and resets the toilet once the finished floor is in — so the installation is level, sealed, and code-compliant when the renovation wraps.
Why Midtown Plumbing
Why Homeowners Call Midtown Plumbing for Toilet Installation
Flange Condition Checked Before the New Toilet Is Set
Removing the old toilet reveals what was hidden underneath. If the flange is cracked or sitting too low, Midtown Plumbing identifies and resolves it before setting the new unit — not after you've already paid for an installation that will rock or leak within months.
Shutoff Valve Replaced if It Cannot Be Operated Safely
An angle stop valve that has not moved in twenty years will often fail or crack when turned. Midtown Plumbing tests the shutoff before beginning and replaces it if it cannot be relied on — so the installation is complete, not just the toilet itself.
Full Flush Test Before Leaving
Every installation ends with the toilet flushed multiple times while the base seal, supply connection, and tank fittings are all checked for any sign of weeping. Nothing is left for the homeowner to discover on the first use after the plumber has gone.
Same-Day Scheduling, 7 Days a Week
Available Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM. Most toilet installations across the GTA are scheduled and completed the same day — no waiting until the following week with an out-of-service bathroom.
Written Quote Before Any Work Begins
The full cost is confirmed before the first fitting is touched. If the flange needs repair or the shutoff valve needs to be replaced, a revised quote is provided and approved before proceeding. No charges are added after the job is underway.
Four steps from the first call to a properly set, fully tested toilet.
1
Assess the Rough-In & Existing Hardware
The plumber confirms the rough-in measurement, inspects the shutoff valve condition, and reviews the flange before the old toilet is removed. Any issues are identified and quoted upfront — so there are no surprises once the existing unit comes off the floor.
2
Remove the Old Toilet & Inspect the Flange
The supply is shut off, the tank drained, and the toilet disconnected and removed. The flange is inspected for cracks, corrosion, or incorrect height. Any required repair is handled before the new wax ring is set — not after.
3
Set the New Toilet & Connect Supply
A fresh wax ring is set, the toilet is positioned squarely over the flange, bolted down evenly without overtightening, and the supply line is connected. If the shutoff valve was replaced, the new valve is tested before the supply line is connected to the fill valve.
4
Flush Test & Cleanup
The toilet is flushed multiple times while the plumber checks the base seal, tank connections, and supply line for any sign of moisture. The floor is cleaned and the old toilet and packaging are removed. The shutoff valve location is pointed out before leaving.

Toilet Installation Cost — What to Expect
A straightforward replacement costs less than a flange repair or first-time rough-in. The quote is always provided before work begins — there are no charges that appear mid-job.
Factors that affect installation cost:
Quoted before work begins — no surprises
Replacement vs. first-time install — A straight swap uses the existing flange position and rough-in. A first-time install requires confirming the rough-in layout and may involve additional plumbing work.
Flange condition — A cracked, corroded, or incorrectly positioned flange needs repair before the new toilet can be properly sealed. This is assessed after the old unit is removed and quoted before any repair begins.
Shutoff valve replacement — Angle stops that have seized or show signs of corrosion are replaced during the installation. A working, reliable shutoff is part of a complete and code-compliant installation.
Supply line condition — If the existing braided supply line is aged or has visible wear, it is replaced. Running a new toilet off a compromised supply line introduces a failure point Midtown Plumbing will not leave in place.
Call before booking if you have questions about expected cost — Midtown Plumbing can provide a phone estimate for standard replacement jobs and advise on what additional work is likely based on the home's age and construction.

Common Questions
Toilet Installation — FAQs
Answers to what GTA homeowners ask most before booking toilet installation.
What does toilet installation include?
Toilet installation from Midtown Plumbing includes removing and disposing of the old toilet, setting a new wax ring, securing the toilet to the flange with new bolts, connecting the water supply line, verifying or replacing the shutoff valve, and running a full flush cycle to test for leaks at the base and all supply connections before leaving. The work area is left clean.
How long does toilet installation take?
A standard toilet replacement — removing the old unit and installing the new one — typically takes one to two hours. If the flange is damaged, corroded, or sitting at the wrong height, repair work is quoted and handled as part of the same visit where possible. Midtown Plumbing advises on timing after seeing the existing rough-in.
Do I need to supply the new toilet or will you bring one?
Midtown Plumbing installs toilets supplied by the homeowner. If you have already purchased a toilet, the plumber brings all hardware — wax ring, new flange bolts, and supply line — needed for a complete installation. If you need help selecting a toilet, Midtown Plumbing can advise on rough-in dimensions and model suitability before you purchase.
What if my toilet flange is damaged or corroded?
A cracked or corroded flange is assessed when the old toilet is removed. If the flange needs repair or a repair ring, this is quoted before any additional work begins. Most flange repairs can be completed during the same visit so the new toilet can be set the same day.
How much does toilet installation cost?
Toilet installation cost depends on whether a shutoff valve needs to be replaced, whether the flange requires repair, and how the rough-in is set up. A straightforward replacement of an existing toilet costs less than a flange repair or first-time installation. Midtown Plumbing provides a clear upfront quote before any work begins — call 647-778-9411 for a same-day estimate.
Is toilet installation available same day?
Yes. Midtown Plumbing is available Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM, and can schedule toilet installation the same day in most cases across the full GTA service area. Call 647-778-9411 to confirm availability.
When should I replace a toilet rather than repair it?
Replacement makes sense when a toilet is cracked in the bowl or tank, when repair costs are close to the cost of a new unit, or when an older low-efficiency toilet is being swapped for a current dual-flush model. Midtown Plumbing will advise honestly on whether repair or replacement is the better value for your specific situation.
Which cities do you serve for toilet installation?
Midtown Plumbing installs toilets across Vaughan, Woodbridge, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Maple, Concord, King City, Newmarket, Markham, Toronto, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, and East York. Same-day service available Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM. Call 647-778-9411 to book.
