toilet replacement labor cost

Sheri Fierro

If I buy the toilet, what should the cost to replace it. Normal toilet. 2 piece, usually put 2 was rings on it.

I know a plumber is more expensive but this can be done by a handyman.

I have 7 to replace in a commercial building in LA. Since I had recently moved in the upstairs, and turned the water on 4 of the 7 toilets, the water bill from LADWP went from $90 to $819. We shut the water off on all the toilets and asked everyone to please turn water on when using only and the bill went to $26. So I'm changing all of them but wonder what I should be paying my handyman? Thanks for the help. Love this site!

Why not just replace the toilet innards? 

Porcelain really doesn't wear out.  Replacing the toilet seems like a waste of money. 

Sounds like a bad flapper seal.  A set of complete toilet innards costs $20 and take 30-60 min to install. 

Can't really comment on cost. Licensed pro guy might charge $100/toilet, but a $15/hr handyman could easily do 7 in a day.
