How much does a good toilet cost?

My husband and I bought a house and we’ve had nothing but distress with the toilet in the main bathroom. Neither of us have ever bought a toilet before and they come in all price ranges. We don’t need anything fancy but we don’t want to go to cheap. What is a excellent price to spend on a toilet?

Staci, a couple of questions that bear on getting the right answer: 1) Are you plotting on installing the toilet yourself? 2) If you are going to have it installed by a professional (i.e., a plumber) to avoid any if’s and/or but’s about the proper installation of your toilet, would you consider having it bought through the plumber?

Here’s what I’m thinking: If you don’t have any thought what a excellent-priced toilet costs, I don’t reckon you’re in the position to jump in to install a toilet on your own without any hiccups. So, with that said, and to really get to the bottom of your question of discerning the cost of a excellent-quality toilet, I’d seek the advice of local plumbers in your area; such professionals are bound to know what toilets work best for their money, and it would serve you well to know this in advance of any buy, of course, Staci.

So, fortunately, there are plenty of local plumbing contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. It’s vital that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah, as a lot of factors really bear on the cost of such a project, including the following: The cost of material and labor greatly varies by location.

A local plumbing contractor can easily help you in this toilet replacement project of yours, from selection to installation. As indicated earlier, if you negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the materials (i.e., the replacement toilet, etc.) for you, you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you, as usually contractors get discounts (called “contractor’s discounts” / “contractor’s price”) when buying from home improvement stores because of the many buys they make as required by their jobs..

As I said, Free estimates from local plumbing contractors are the key to your success in this home improvement project of yours. Here’s a fantastic link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to help you in determining the cost of your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local plumbing contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:
