TOILET BOWL REPLACEMENT
TOILET BOWL REPLACEMENT
Toilet bowls have become essential fixtures in modern homes. In Singapore, the demand for toilet bowl installation and replacement services is rising due to the increasing number of HDB and Condo Apartments. As a result, plumbing companies frequently handle the installation and replacement of toilet bowls in these housing units. Standard HDB flats typically come with a specific type of toilet bowl. However, if you have a preferred brand or type, you’ll need to find a plumber capable of installing your chosen toilet bowl.
How much does it cost?
Installing or replacing a toilet bowl usually costs between $250 and $450. This range covers most standard toilet bowls, but the final price may vary based on the type of toilet and specific installation needs. For example, wall-hung toilets often require more work, which can increase the cost. Additionally, if modifications to the existing plumbing system are necessary to fit the new toilet, this could also impact the overall expense. Therefore, while we provide a general price estimate, the actual cost will depend on the unique requirements of each job.
What type of toilet bowl do you need?
Toilets come in different styles, each with distinct features and installation needs. A one-piece toilet combines the tank and bowl into a single unit, making it easy to clean and offering a modern look, though it tends to be more expensive. Two-piece toilets, with a separate tank and bowl, are budget-friendly and widely used, but their seam can make cleaning a bit challenging. Wall-mounted toilets have the bowl attached to the wall and the tank hidden inside, creating a sleek, space-saving design, but they require professional installation. Close-coupled toilets feature a cistern connected directly to the bowl, offering a compact and efficient option that reduces the risk of leaks. If you’re replacing a toilet, it’s usually simpler to stick with the same type. This ensures the existing plumbing and mounting hardware are already compatible, making the installation process quicker and more cost-efficient.

One-Piece Toilet
A one-piece toilet features a design where the tank and bowl are seamlessly fused into a single unit. This design eliminates the gap between the tank and bowl, reducing areas where dust and bacteria can accumulate, making it easier to clean and maintain. One-piece toilets are more compact than two-piece models, making them ideal for small bathrooms or powder rooms. Although they have a higher initial cost, one-piece toilets are favored for their sleek, modern look and long-term durability. Additionally, they are easier to install since there are no separate pieces to assemble.
Two-Piece Toilet
A two-piece toilet is designed with the tank and bowl made separately and then put together. This is the most common type of toilet in homes because it is affordable and easy to install. You can replace either the tank or the bowl separately if needed, which can save on repair costs. However, the seam between the two pieces can collect dust and bacteria, making it a bit harder to clean than a one-piece toilet. Two-piece toilets come in many styles and sizes, giving you flexibility for different bathroom layouts and looks.

How we replace toilet bowls.
To replace a toilet bowl, we begin by turning off the water supply to avoid any leaks or spills. This is done by turning the valve near the base of the toilet. After the water is off, we flush the toilet to drain any remaining water in the tank and bowl.
Next, we disconnect the water supply line and unbolt the toilet bowl from the floor. Once everything is disconnected, we lift the old toilet and place it on a trolley. This step requires some effort as toilets can be heavy, bulky, and quite dirty.
Before installing the new toilet bowl, we thoroughly clean the area around the pan collar, which is the fitting that connects the toilet to the drain pipe. This ensures a good seal and prevents leaks. If necessary, we replace the pan collar due to a different rough-in distance or wear and tear.
Finally, we position the new toilet bowl, aligning it with the pan collar, and bolt it down securely with anchored brackets. Once the toilet is securely in place, we reconnect the water supply and turn the water back on to check for leaks and ensure everything is working correctly.
