Toilet Repairs

Guides on toilets, from the parts inside the tank to the fixture itself. You will find diagnosis articles for a toilet that runs, refills by itself, flushes weakly, clogs repeatedly, sweats, gurgles or leaks at the base, and step-by-step repairs for flappers, fill valves, flush valve seals, handles, supply lines and wax rings. There are also sizing articles that save a wasted trip to the store, rough-in distance, seat shape, flapper diameter, supply line thread, and buying guides for toilets, bidet attachments and seats, augers and plungers, and full tank repair kits.

Picks are chosen from manufacturer specifications, installation instructions, warranty terms and plumbing code, with attention to fit and to whether replacement parts stay available. Fit and manufacturer specifications are checked before anything is recommended, and no brand pays for placement.
