Common Toilet Repairs We Handle

We carry premium-grade parts and professional repair kits to handle most toilet issues in a single visit. Our services include:

  • Toilet Rebuilds (Fluidmaster® kits)
  • Toilet Pull & Reset for wax ring leaks or re-seating
  • Angle Stop Valve Replacement (shut-off valve by the wall)
  • Toilet Flange Repairs (base connection to the sewer)
  • Running Toilets: fill valves, flappers, and float issues
  • Ghost Flushing & Random Refills
  • Clogs from paper buildup, toys, or improper flushing

Toilet repairs might seem simple, but small mistakes can lead to leaks, ghost flushing, or callbacks. Our plumbers take the time to fix it right the first time, so you don’t have to call us twice.

Toilet Installation & Upgrades

Whether you’re replacing a dated toilet or completing a bathroom remodel, GPS Plumbing installs modern, efficient toilets that perform well and last for years. We help you choose the right model for comfort, flushing power, and water savings. We install:

  • Gerber Viper: comfort height toilet trusted by plumbers for strong flushing performance and long-term reliability (ADA-compliant and WaterSense® certified)

  • Other Major Brands: Customer-purchased toilets (just ask!)

We confirm your rough-in and space needs, so everything fits correctly and meets code.

Choosing the Right Size Toilet

Before replacing your toilet, it’s important to know your rough-in measurement—this is the distance from the wall (not the baseboard) to the center of the toilet bolts that secure it to the floor.

ost homes have a 12-inch rough-in, but 10-inch and 14-inch setups are also common, especially in older homes or tighter spaces.

Need help measuring? Just text us a photo— and we can walk you through it or check it during our visit.

Repair or Replace? We’ll Help You Decide

Some older toilets are worth repairing—others are ready to go. Here’s what we consider when making a recommendation:

Reasons to Repair
  • Toilet flushes well and has never clogged
  • Comfortable height and style for your family
  • Existing toilet supports older cast iron drain lines (common in Plano and McKinney)
  • Fill valve, flange, or flapper is worn—but the tank and bowl are still solid
  • We’re honest about what can be fixed … and what’s not worth fighting anymore.
Reasons to Replace
  • Cracked porcelain or tank
  • Frequent leaks or rocking despite repairs
  • A low-flow toilet installed on cast iron drain lines causing frequent clogs
  • You’re remodeling and want new fixtures

Homes in parts of Plano and McKinney often have cast iron drain systems, which perform better with strong flushing volume. We’ll help you choose the right toilet to avoid future clogs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a flange and a wax ring?

The flange is the pipe connection on the floor. The wax ring seals your toilet to the flange. If your toilet rocks, leaks, or smells, the wax ring may be compromised.

Do you install comfort height toilets?

Yes! We install comfort height models that are ADA-compliant—ideal for tall individuals, aging adults, or anyone who wants easier sitting and standing.

What should I do if my toilet runs constantly or makes random flushing sounds?

That’s usually a worn flapper, fill valve, or faulty seal. We’ll pinpoint the issue and replace just what’s needed.

Can I use bleach tablets in my toilet tank?

We don’t recommend it. They can erode parts inside the tank and shorten the life of your toilet.

Can I choose my own toilet model?

Absolutely. We install customer-purchased toilets and will help confirm fit, rough-in size, and functionality.
