Start with how much water it uses per flush, since newer low flow models use far less than older toilets. Then consider bowl shape, with elongated bowls offering more comfort and round bowls fitting tight spaces, plus seat height and the rough-in measurement. If you are unsure, our technicians can measure your bathroom and help you pick a model that fits the space and your household.
The rough-in is the distance from the finished wall to the center of the bolts that hold the toilet to the floor. Most homes use a 12 inch rough-in, but some older St. Louis houses have 10 or 14 inch spacing. Buying a toilet with the wrong rough-in can leave a gap behind the tank or keep it from fitting at all, so we confirm this measurement first.
A wobbling toilet usually means the floor bolts have loosened, the wax ring has worn out, or the floor beneath it is uneven. Leaving it alone can break the seal and let water soak into the subfloor. We remove the toilet, inspect the flange, replace the seal, level the base, and test for leaks so it sits solid again.
It depends on how many holes your sink or countertop has and how far apart they are. Single handle faucets often need one hole, while widespread models need three. A deck plate can cover extra openings when you switch styles. Before you buy, count the holes and measure the spacing, or let Plumbing Masters check the setup and recommend options that fit cleanly.
In many homes, yes. Older toilets often use much more water per flush than current models, and a faucet that drips steadily wastes water around the clock. Swapping in new fixtures cuts that waste and stops the slow leaks that add up month after month. We test every connection after installation so the new fixture does not develop a leak of its own.
