Faucet and Toilet Repair Cost (2026)
By the Home Repair One data team · Updated July 2026 · Ranges from our estimator engine
Short answer: In 2026, faucet and toilet work typically runs $150–$700. Rebuilding a running toilet or swapping cartridges in a dripping faucet is often $150–$225, close to a plumber's trip minimum. Installing a new faucet or toilet in the same location lands about $250–$375. A major fixture swap with shutoff valves, supply lines, and wax-ring or valve-body work can reach $475–$700. Moving the toilet or relocating a faucet is a different job, that is remodel plumbing, not a fixture swap.

Repair versus replace
A running toilet is usually a flapper, fill valve, or chain. A drip at the faucet is often a cartridge or O-ring. Those parts are cheap; the visit is the bill. If the fixture is corroded, outdated, or you already bought a replacement, swapping it in the same holes is usually the cleaner spend.
What a plumber actually does on a swap
Shut the water, pull the old fixture, check the shutoffs and supply lines, set a new wax ring or faucet, and test. Old angle stops that will not close, or a rotten toilet flange, add parts and time. That is why a simple swap sometimes becomes the higher band.

FAQ
How much does it cost to fix a running toilet?
A rebuild of the fill valve and flapper is often $150–$225. If the tank or bowl is cracked, you are looking at a replacement in the $250–$375 range, more if the flange is bad.
How much to install a new faucet?
A same-location faucet swap typically runs $250–$375. Three-hole to single-hole conversions, tight under-sink access, and seized shutoffs push it toward $475–$700.
Can a handyman replace a toilet?
Some can, but a licensed plumber is the safer call if the flange is damaged, the floor is soft, or local code requires a licensed trade. We match you to the right license for the job.
