Most Los Angeles plumbers these days prefer to replace vintage toilets rather than repair them. This may be a sound practice from a labor standpoint as new toilets can cost less than $100 and time spent paying a plumber $80 to $100 per hour to finesse old parts can add up quickly. One thing that is often overlooked however, is the added value a historic home has when it is kept in all-original condition.
Replacing that 80 year-old toilet may save a couple hundred dollars now, but putting a $90 “depot cheapo” toilet in an all-original vintage bathroom can knock 100’s or even 1000’s of dollars off the resale value of a historic property. Replacement can also be subject to other problems as well; vintage toilets often have unusual water and drain pipe placement that make finding a new replacement toilet difficult.
If you are having problems with your toilet, regardless of the age, please feel free to contact us today and we will evaluate if your toilet can be fixed or needs to be replaced.
