A real person answers, day or night
A new toilet is a small job with a big daily payoff
It is the fixture the whole household uses most, and the one people tolerate failing longest. When the decision finally comes, the work itself should be the easy part: one visit, one price, one suite installed and tested properly. The full range of what we do is catalogued on the Thornleigh home page.
Postwar bathrooms on solid ground
The 1940s to 1960s houses are the heart of this job here. The brick and double-brick homes that fill the streets between the railway line and the old orchard country were built with bathrooms that have often kept their original layout ever since. Replacing a toilet in one of them is rarely a straight swap: floors have been retiled once or twice, set-outs have drifted from any modern standard, and shale and rock sit close beneath the surface, so the drainage route needs checking before the new pan goes anywhere. We carry the gear to work in that ground, and any excavation beyond the obvious is quoted before a hole is dug, never discovered halfway through.
What we install
Suites, set-outs and everything that connects them: here is how the work breaks down, and which version fits your bathroom.
Like-for-like swaps
We lift the old pan, renew the collar and the stop tap, and set a matching new suite properly on the same footprints, which suits busy family bathrooms here that need to be back in full service the same day.
Wall-faced upgrades
Renovating owners choose wall-faced or back-to-wall suites for a much cleaner line, and we rough in the new set-out, box the cistern behind the wall where framing allows, and coordinate closely with your tiler so the finished wall reads seamless.
New bathrooms and extensions
Extensions and bathrooms get the plumbing planned from the start, with drainage falls, ventilation clearances and water efficiency ratings sorted before the slab or frame closes, because correcting a set-out after tiling is the expensive version of the same job.
Removal, testing and paperwork
Every installation includes taking the old suite safely away, testing the new pan and cistern through several full flush test cycles, and leaving you the compliance paperwork that keeps the job documented for insurance and future resale of the property.
Bought the suite already?
Plenty of locals do their research at the big hardware warehouse beside Pennant Hills Road, then discover the pan they loved needs a licensed plumber to connect it legally.
That is a job we do every week. Bring us the box, or better, ask us before you buy.
Not every suite suits every set-out. Close-coupled, wall-faced and back-to-wall pans all demand different rough-in dimensions, and a ten-minute check now beats returning a bulky box later. If the suite you have your heart on will not fit, we will say so plainly and suggest one that will.
Problems that surface during a replacement
The old suite usually comes out with a story to tell, and two issues come up again and again in local bathrooms.
A pan that rocks
Old bathroom floors settle over decades, so a replacement pan must be packed and seated level rather than simply bolted down, because a bowl rocking on its collar works the seal loose and starts a slow leak into the joists.
Set-outs that drift
Renovation plans often shift a toilet a few hundred millimetres, and that small move changes the drainage fall, the venting and sometimes the floor structure, so we check the whole run before agreeing to a location that will cause trouble later.
Why it matters to get it done right
A toilet is a mechanical joint between your home and the sewer, and the difference between a careful install and a quick one shows up over months, not days:
- A slow seep at the collar rots subfloors quietly Water finding its way under an unsealed pan damages bearers and flooring long before anything shows on the surface, and by then the repair is a carpentry job, not a plumbing one.
- A compliant install protects your paperwork Certification matters at sale time and for insurance, and a documented, licensed installation is the version that never raises questions.
- The right suite gets used happily for decades Water ratings, seat quality and flush strength are all choices we help you weigh, so the fixture you settle on suits the household actually living with it.
How it works
The installation process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Fit and seal
We isolate the supply, lift the old suite without cracking the tiles, set the new pan on a fresh collar, connect the cistern, and test every joint through several flushes before we clean up.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Thornleigh
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Thornleigh works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
That last point is the one that matters most with fixture work, because the vans already carry the collars, stop taps and seals that turn a one-visit install into a certainty rather than a hope.
Where we work
Areas we service around the ridge
Alongside the work we do here, the same team covers Normanhurst, Pennant Hills, Westleigh, Hornsby and Wahroonga, bringing identical fixed pricing, the same stocked vans and the same lifetime-backed workmanship to every street in the ring of neighbours around us.
Good questions, straight answers
What Thornleigh locals ask before booking a new toilet
How long does a toilet installation take?
Most straight swaps finish within a few hours because the van carries common pans, cisterns and seals, so the old suite comes out and the new one is flushing the same visit.
Do you take away the old toilet?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old suite is included in the fixed price, along with the compliance paperwork, so nothing is left leaning in the garage for the next decade.
Can you fit a toilet in one of the older houses near the station?
Regularly, and those Federation and bungalow floors are exactly where careful packing and levelling matter, because decades of settlement and past tiling mean the set-out is rarely what the original builder drew.
What does a new toilet cost?
You get a single fixed written price before any work begins, the call out costs $0, and the quote covers removal, installation and testing, so the number on paper is the number you pay.
Is a wall-faced suite worth it in a renovation?
It gives the cleanest finish and an easier floor to clean, but it needs wall framing and drainage set out before the tiler comes, so it suits planned renovations in the postwar brick homes.
Does a new toilet need a licensed plumber?
Yes, connecting a pan to the sewer is plumbing work that must be done by a licensed professional in NSW, and we provide the compliance certificates that keep your paperwork in order.
