What the work is
A comfort-height bowl sits a couple of inches higher than a standard one, which changes how much work it takes to stand. It costs the same to install as any other toilet.
The install is the same job as any replacement, and the flange still decides whether it lasts. See toilet replacement for what that involves.
If a rail or a frame would also help, that is a separate item and it can go in on the same visit.
What is included
- Removing and disposing of the old toilet
- Flange inspection and a report on its condition
- New seal, bolts, quarter-turn stop and supply line
- Setting, levelling and sealing
- Testing under real use
What is not
- Replacing a failed flange, shown to you and quoted first
- Flooring repair
- Moving the drain
- A rail or frame, which is its own item
Height is not the only variable
How far the bowl projects from the wall, and whether there is a clear side approach, matter as much as the height. If the room is tight, say so before anything is ordered.
This is exactly the sort of thing an assessment covers in twenty minutes and a catalogue does not.
What to ask anyone quoting this, us included
- What condition is the flange in?
- Is the projection right for this room?
- Would a rail help here as well?
