Toilet installation and repairs seem like straightforward plumbing jobs — and for a licensed plumber, they are. But done incorrectly, a poorly installed toilet can leak at the base, rock on its base causing floor damage, or run continuously wasting hundreds of litres of water per day. Plumbing Bros installs and repairs toilets to a 5-star standard across Burleigh Waters and the Gold Coast.

Why is my toilet running constantly?
A toilet that runs after flushing — you can hear water trickling — is almost always caused by a faulty flapper (the rubber seal in the cistern that opens to allow flushing) or a worn inlet valve. Both are inexpensive parts. The water waste is not: a running toilet uses 200–400 litres per day, adding $50–$100+ to your water bill every month it’s left unfixed.
FAQs about toilet installation on the Gold Coast
Can I supply my own toilet and have you install it?
Yes. We’re happy to install a toilet you’ve purchased. Confirm the rough-in measurement (the distance from the wall to the centre of the outlet — usually 140mm or 180mm in Australian homes) before buying to ensure the pan fits correctly.
How long does a toilet installation take?
A standard toilet installation takes 45–90 minutes for a like-for-like replacement. Relocating the toilet or running new waste pipes takes longer and requires a separate quote.
Do you need a licence to install a toilet in QLD?
Yes. In Queensland, all toilet installations require a licensed QBCC plumber. This includes replacing an existing toilet in the same location — it’s not a DIY job.
