Toilet & Faucet Repair and Replacement
Running toilets and dripping faucets are usually worn internal parts — flappers, fill valves, cartridges, or washers — and most are quick, affordable pro repairs. Replacement makes sense for cracked tanks, obsolete fixtures, or remodels. FlowFast connects you with an independent local plumber for toilet and faucet work.

The toilet that runs all night and the faucet that drips once per second share a root cause: small internal parts that wear out. A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day — it is often the single biggest silent contributor to a high water bill.
Most of these repairs are straightforward for a pro: a fill valve and flapper, a faucet cartridge, a supply line. The judgment call is repair versus replace — a pro will tell you honestly when a 20-year-old fixture has earned retirement.

Warning signs
Signs you need this service
- A toilet that runs continuously or refills on its own.
- A faucet that drips even when fully closed.
- Water pooling at the base of the toilet.
- A handle that needs jiggling or excessive force.
- Weak flush or a toilet that needs double-flushing.
What happens
The process, step by step
Identify the failure: the pro checks flapper, fill valve, and supply line on toilets; cartridges, washers, and seats on faucets.
Repair or replace call: worn internals get replaced; cracked porcelain or obsolete fixtures get swapped.
Fit and seal: new supply lines, wax ring or seal, and proper mounting on toilet work.
Test everything: flush cycles, shutoff valves, and leak checks before the pro leaves.
Cost factors
What influences the cost
Every job is different, so we won't quote prices sight unseen. These are the factors a pro will weigh when pricing your job:
- Repair versus full fixture replacement.
- Fixture quality tier if replacing — builder-grade versus premium.
- What is worn — a flapper is trivial; a concealed-valve faucet is not.
- Supply line and shutoff valve condition — corroded valves get replaced too.
- Whether the toilet flange or subfloor needs attention.
DIY guidance
What you can do — and when to stop
Safe to do yourself
- Replace a toilet flapper — it is the most common running-toilet fix and genuinely easy.
- Adjust a fill valve's water level to the marked line in the tank.
- Tighten a loose faucet handle or clean an aerator clogged with sediment.
Stop and call a pro
- A toilet rocking on its base — the flange or subfloor may be compromised.
- Water at the toilet base — it may be a failed seal leaking with every flush.
- Shutoff valves that will not budge — forcing them can snap the line.
