    My tenant told me the bottom of the toilet is cracked and water seeping. Plumber said the whole set needed replacing. Anyone knows how much it may cost? Thanks.

    What type of toilet?
    Floor mount or wall hung?
    Cheapie or designer brand/special shape?
    White or toilet of colour?
    Type of seat - flimsy plastic or pressalit/solid or slow close/heated?
    P-trap or S-bend?

    Too many decisions. :confused:

    It’s actually a decent rate for the service

    Plumber quoting supplied and fitted $750. It’s a Reece toilet floor mounted. The drainage hole is on the floor. Too expensive? Or reasonable?

    Check if the set is what you want - personally I would be looking at back to the wall, no plastic, dual flush, meets water efficiency standards. While you're looking that up you will see the price and can see what you are paying for collection/delivery/install.

    Appears reasonable. A decent Reece toilet would be upwards of $500

    Thanks. I never knew there was so much to choosing a toilet. I always thought it's nothing more than a **** hole. Anyway, I leave it to the plumber and agreed with others a quality Reece one. It's only the tenant using it. :)
