What moves the price
- Type of issue — a flapper replacement is a quick fix compared with repairing a leaking tank.
- Parts needed — a flush valve or fill valve is cheap to replace, while a cracked cistern or pan means buying a new toilet.
- Complexity of the job — moving a toilet or adding a bidet takes far longer than a straight swap.
- Condition of existing plumbing — a corroded waste pipe or seized isolation valve has to be dealt with before the new toilet goes in.
- Materials chosen — a new toilet and its fittings are bought for the job and billed at what they cost.
- Toilet style — a wall-hung toilet needs a concealed frame and cistern, which takes far longer to fit than a close-coupled model.

How to pay less
- Replacing a worn flapper or fill valve often costs far less than a new toilet; you can ask whether a repair would do.
- A close-coupled toilet usually costs less to fit than a wall-hung model, which needs a frame built into the wall.
- Fixing a running or leaking toilet early avoids water damage to the floor and the bigger repair it leads to.
- Booking a toilet repair during normal working hours, if there is another toilet you can use, avoids the higher cost of an emergency call-out.

- Information about any previous issues with the toilet.
