Toilet Installation

A toilet is an essential part of our daily life, and when it works properly, we rarely think about its condition. However, attention to the toilet becomes crucial when problems arise. Installation, connection, and replacement of the toilet are important aspects of ensuring comfort and hygiene in your home or office:

• Comfort and hygiene. First of all, the proper functioning of the toilet ensures a high level of comfort. No leaks, a steady flush, and the absence of extraneous sounds all affect our daily convenience. It is also important to pay attention to the hygiene of the toilet to avoid health problems.
• Water savings. Modern toilets are often equipped with water-saving systems, which reduce water consumption with each flush. Installing a new toilet with a modern water-saving system can lead to significant resource savings and lower your utility bills.

Repair or replacement of the toilet - a relevant question

In some cases, replacing the toilet may be more reasonable than repairing it. And believe me, it’s not about the price of toilet installation. Let’s consider situations that may indicate the need to replace this important element in the bathroom.

1. Damage and cracks. Cracks in the ceramic of the toilet can lead to leaks and cause unpleasant odors. Found a crack and doubt that it can be repaired? Don’t make unnecessary assumptions - the best option for you will be to replace the toilet.
2. Problems with the flushing system. If the toilet constantly leaks or has flushing issues, replacing the flushing mechanism or the toilet itself may be necessary to restore its functionality.
3. Aging and wear. Over time, even high-quality toilets wear out. If your toilet has been in service for a long time, and repairs are becoming more frequent, replacing it with a more modern and efficient model may be a wise decision.
4. Change of design and style. Besides functional aspects, replacing the toilet may be justified if you want to change the design of the bathroom or follow modern trends. There are many stylish and functional models that will match your aesthetic preferences.
5. Incompatibility with new technologies. With the emergence of new technologies, such as water-saving systems and integrated bidets, old toilets are objectively outdated. Replacing them with a more modern model can bring you additional conveniences and resource savings. 

How to install a toilet: expert tips

Self-installation of a toilet is a budget-friendly alternative for those who have enough free time and possess certain knowledge and skills. Ready to replace it yourself? Then follow the step-by-step instructions.

Choosing a toilet: understanding types and models

• Floor-mounted toilets. Floor-mounted toilets are a classic option, installed directly on the floor. They provide durability and ease of installation, making them a popular choice. Floor-mounted toilets also offer various styles and shapes suitable for different bathroom designs.
• Wall-hung toilets - installations. Modern plumbing systems include installation types such as installations. A metal frame is embedded in the wall, onto which all communications and the plumbing fixture itself are hung. After that, everything is neatly finished with finishing materials (tiles, panels). Flush buttons can be embedded in the wall (that is, installed on the installation frame). Their operation depends on the price of toilet installation and the plumbing itself: contact and non-contact, automatic. Since such systems have many additional systems (for example, sensors), it is better to entrust the installation of the toilet in Kyiv to those who have repeatedly encountered such plumbing.
• Corner toilets. Corner toilets are a unique option specifically designed for optimal use of corner spaces. This is the perfect solution for small bathrooms or toilets where every square meter is valuable.
• Bidet. A bidet is a plumbing device designed to maintain hygiene after using the toilet. It can be a separate type of toilet or built into the toilet seat. Their functionality may include seat heating, water pressure adjustment, and even a drying function.

The choice of toilet type and installation method depends on your preferences, the structure of the bathroom, and design solutions. 

Dismantling the old toilet

Any installation work begins with dismantling the old plumbing. To dismantle the toilet, we shut off the water supply to the tank and carefully disconnect the drain pipe. Did it work? Be sure to cover it with plastic, as sewer gases are toxic.

The old toilet is not always easy to pry off the floor, as it was previously bolted tightly to the floor. There are a few options:

• break the old plumbing, cut the bolt heads with a grinder;
• try pouring orthophosphoric acid (available for sale) and unscrew it.

Before installing the toilet, the surface is leveled (sanded, treated with plaster). For wooden floors, board replacement may be necessary (relevant for the private sector, summer cottages), after laying the wood, the gaps are filled with putty.

Installing the toilet on concrete involves several fastening options:

1. drilling holes for bolts (radical, reliable, but difficult);
2. using adhesive compounds (simple and quick).
3. There are also non-standard options - fastening the toilet to brackets in the wall. First, they are drilled in there, then the plumbing is hung. The advantage of this installation option is easier floor cleaning and space saving.

Connecting the toilet

Is the toilet installation done? We install the tank and flushing mechanism according to the instructions. Don’t forget about sealing gaskets and that no debris should get under them (it will leak). There are tanks that are attached to the wall - 2 anchors 100 mm long will quickly solve this issue.

Water supply can be done through flexible hoses or metal-plastic pipes. If you change the rubber hose every 3 years, you can avoid problems with ruptures. The sewer pipe is carefully sealed either with special sealants or putty.
