Can I install a new toilet myself or is it better to hire a handyman?

Installing a new toilet can be a relatively straightforward task, but it does require some basic knowledge of plumbing and the proper installation techniques. If you are comfortable working with plumbing and have some experience with home improvement projects, it is possible to install a new toilet yourself. However, there are some important things to consider before undertaking this project on your own:
​

1. Tools: You will need a range of tools to install a new toilet, including a pipe wrench, adjustable pliers, a putty knife, and a level. If you do not have these tools already, you will need to purchase or rent them.
2. Knowledge: It's important to have a basic understanding of plumbing to ensure a proper installation. This includes understanding how to connect the water supply and drain lines, how to properly seal the toilet to the floor, and knowing the local codes, regulations, and laws.
3. Time: Installing a new toilet can be time-consuming, especially if you are new to plumbing and home improvement projects.
4. Safety: It's important to work safely and avoid any potential hazards. If you're not comfortable with the task it's better to let a professional do it.

For these reasons, it may be more beneficial to hire me to install your new toilet. I have the necessary tools and experience to complete the task quickly and efficiently, and I will make sure that the installation is done according to local codes and regulations.

Does a new toilet come with everything you need for installation?

A new toilet typically comes with most of the parts and hardware needed for installation, but there may be a few additional items that you will need to purchase separately.
​
When you buy a new toilet, it should come with:

• The toilet bowl and tank
• Toilet seat
• bolts, nuts, and washers to attach the toilet to the floor
• A wax ring to seal the toilet to the floor

You may need to purchase additional items such as:

• A water supply line and shut-off valve if the current one is old or leaking.
• A mounting kit if the toilet you bought is a wall-mounted toilet, this kit will include anchors and a mounting bracket.
• A new flange if the current one is damaged or old.

It's important to check the toilet for any missing or damaged parts before you start the installation process. Make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials before starting. If something is missing, it's better to call the manufacturer or supplier and sort it out, rather than wait till the end.

It's also important to check the compatibility of the new toilet with your bathroom and make sure that the new toilet will fit in the space provided and that it's compatible with your plumbing and waste system, if you're unsure, you can ask the manufacturer or supplier for assistance.

Keep in mind that the installation of a new toilet can be a complex task and it's recommended to hire a professional handyman or plumber for the task if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.
