Over time, toilets show signs of wear and tear. There comes a point when repairing them becomes less practical than investing in a replacement.
Here are key signs that indicate it might be time to upgrade your toilet:
- Frequent Repairs. Are you consistently calling a plumber for toilet issues? It may be more cost-effective to replace the entire fixture in the long run. Frequent repairs could be a sign that the toilet is reaching the end of its functional lifespan.
- Age of the Toilet. The average lifespan of a toilet is around 10-15 years. If your toilet is approaching or has surpassed this time frame, it may show signs of aging. Installing a new toilet will be more cost-effective.
- Cracks in the Porcelain. Cracks in the toilet bowl or tank are more than just cosmetic issues; they can lead to leaks and water damage. A replacement is necessary if you notice any cracks, especially widespread or extensive ones.
- Outdated Water Efficiency. Older toilets use more water per flush, contributing to higher water bills and environmental impact. Upgrading to a newer, water-efficient model can save water.
- Your Toilet Needs a Rebuild. It's one thing to have a plumber fix the flapper. It's another if your flush and fill valves need to be replaced. The amount of labor or rebuilding the toilet is usually equal to or slightly higher than a toilet replacement.
