Toilet Installation in Tyler, TX
Is your toilet beyond repair, or are you ready to upgrade to a newer, more efficient model? Installing a new toilet can be daunting, especially with the complexities of wax rings, feeder tubes, and ensuring a leak-free fit. Toilet installation is not just about removing the old unit; it’s about precisely installing the new one to avoid future problems.

- Removal of Old Toilet: We’ll shut off the water supply and drain the existing toilet. We’ll disconnect the water line and remove the mounting bolts. Then we’ll carefully lift and remove the old toilet.
- Preparation for New Toilet: We’ll clean the flange area on the floor and remove any old wax or debris. We’ll then check the flange for damage and repair if necessary.

Plumbing FAQs
What are common signs my toilet needs repair?
Common issues include water constantly running, weak or incomplete flushing, leaks around the base, and frequent clogs. These problems can waste water, increase your utility bills, or even damage flooring. THE Mink Plumbing diagnoses the underlying cause—whether it’s a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or a cracked seal—and provides repairs that keep your bathroom functioning reliably.
Do you repair running or constantly filling toilets?
Absolutely. A toilet that won’t stop running can waste hundreds of gallons of water each day. We identify the failing part—such as a worn flapper, malfunctioning float, or defective fill valve—and repair or replace it to restore proper water flow and help lower your water bills.
Can you fix a toilet that wobbles or rocks?
Yes. A rocking toilet is usually caused by loose bolts or an uneven floor. We secure the toilet, adjust the flange if necessary, and ensure a stable, watertight connection so the problem doesn’t return.
What causes a toilet to leak around the base?
Leaks at the base often indicate a worn wax ring or a loose toilet seal. Left unaddressed, this can allow water to seep under the flooring and cause rot or mold. Our technicians remove the toilet, replace the seal, and reseat the unit to prevent future leaks and keep your bathroom safe.
Is it better to repair or replace an older toilet?
If your toilet is more than 15–20 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective. Modern toilets use less water and flush more efficiently. We can inspect your current fixture and provide honest guidance on whether a repair or a new installation will give you the best long-term value.
Can you install new toilets as well?
Yes. We install all major toilet brands and models, from standard replacements to high-efficiency units. Our technicians ensure the new toilet is properly leveled, securely mounted, and sealed to prevent leaks, giving you a trouble-free installation that lasts.
How long does it take to install a new toilet?
Most installations are completed in just a few hours, including removal of the old toilet and cleanup. Our team arrives with the right tools and parts, allowing us to complete the job efficiently while maintaining the highest installation standards.
Will you dispose of the old toilet?
Yes. THE Mink Plumbing removes and properly disposes of the old unit as part of our service, saving you the hassle and ensuring the work area is left clean and ready to use.
