You’re dealing with a toilet that won’t stop running, refuses to flush, or is leaking water all over your bathroom floor. Maybe it’s making strange noises or the handle just gave up completely. In a home with older plumbing, these problems never seem to stay fixed.
Here’s what happens when we’re done: your toilet flushes properly every time, the water stops running when it should, and those annoying leaks disappear completely. No more jiggling handles, no more waiting for the tank to fill, no more wondering if this repair will actually last.
You get back to your normal routine without constantly listening for running water or worrying about your bathroom flooding while you’re at work. Your water bill goes back to normal, and you can trust your toilet to work reliably for years.
We’ve been solving toilet problems throughout Shingle Springs and El Dorado County for over two decades. We’re the small, family-owned company that actually answers the phone and shows up when we say we will – with a 5-star Google rating to prove it.
In a community where many homes date back to the 1980s, we’ve seen every type of toilet problem these older systems can throw at us. From original fixtures that finally gave out to newer installations that weren’t done quite right the first time, we know exactly how to work with the plumbing systems in your neighborhood.
Our low overhead means we can keep our prices fair without cutting corners on quality or service. When you call us, you’re getting experienced technicians who’ve been fixing toilets in homes just like yours for over 24 years.
When you call us, we’ll ask a few quick questions about what’s happening with your toilet so we can bring the right parts and tools. Most toilet repairs don’t require a long diagnostic process – we can usually tell what’s wrong within the first few minutes of looking at it.
We’ll explain exactly what the problem is and what it’ll cost to fix before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure to buy things you don’t need. If it’s a simple fix like a worn flapper or loose chain, we’ll have you back up and running in under an hour.
For more complex issues like seal problems or internal component failures, we’ll walk you through your options and help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation and budget. Our goal is to get your toilet working reliably for years to come, not just patch it up so we can come back in a few months.

We handle everything from simple repairs to complete toilet replacements. In Shingle Springs, where many homes were built in the early 1980s, we often work on original fixtures that have served their time well but are ready for an upgrade to more efficient, reliable models.
Common repairs include fixing constantly running toilets, unclogging stubborn blockages that keep coming back, replacing worn flappers and fill valves, stopping leaks around the base, and restoring weak flushes to full power. We also handle complete toilet installations when repair isn’t the most cost-effective option.
For homes with older plumbing systems, we understand the unique challenges that come with connecting new fixtures to existing pipes and ensuring everything works together properly. We’ll make sure your repair or replacement is done right the first time, so you don’t have to worry about problems popping up again in a few months.
Most toilet repairs in Shingle Springs cost between $150 and $400, depending on what needs to be fixed. Simple problems like replacing a flapper or adjusting a chain typically run on the lower end, while more complex issues like seal replacements or internal component failures cost more.
We always give you an upfront price before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. There are no hidden diagnostic fees or surprise charges added to your bill. If the repair cost approaches what a new toilet would cost, we’ll discuss replacement options with you so you can make the best decision for your situation and budget.
A toilet that keeps running is usually caused by one of three things: a flapper that isn’t sealing properly, a fill valve that’s stuck open, or a chain that’s too long or too short. The flapper is the rubber piece at the bottom of the tank that lifts when you flush and should settle back down to stop water from flowing into the bowl.
Over time, flappers can warp, crack, or get mineral buildup that prevents them from sealing completely. Fill valves can also wear out and fail to shut off when the tank is full. We can quickly diagnose which component is causing the problem and replace it, usually getting your toilet fixed in under an hour.
Consider replacement if your toilet has cracks in the bowl or tank, wobbles significantly even after tightening, requires frequent repairs, or is over 20 years old and having multiple issues. Cracks can lead to serious water damage and aren’t repairable, while chronic problems often indicate that multiple components are wearing out at the same time.
In Shingle Springs homes from the 1980s, we sometimes see toilets that have served well but are ready for an upgrade to more efficient models that use less water and flush more reliably. If repair costs are adding up or you’re dealing with recurring problems every few months, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run.
Yes, weak or incomplete flushes are usually fixable and often caused by water level issues, clogged rim jets, or problems with the flush mechanism. Sometimes the water level in the tank is too low, which reduces flush power. Other times, mineral deposits block the small holes under the toilet rim where water flows during flushing.
We can clean out blocked jets, adjust water levels, and replace worn flush components to restore full flushing power. In older Shingle Springs homes, we sometimes find that original toilets just need a thorough cleaning and proper adjustment to work like new again.
Yes, we provide emergency toilet repair services throughout Shingle Springs and surrounding areas. We understand that some toilet problems can’t wait, especially if you’re dealing with overflowing, major leaks, or a completely non-functional toilet in a home with limited bathrooms.
Emergency service rates may be higher than regular business hours, but we’ll always tell you the cost upfront before starting any work. We carry common repair parts in our trucks, so most emergency repairs can be completed on the same visit without having to wait for special orders or return trips.
Most toilet repairs take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a flapper, adjusting a chain, or unclogging a toilet usually take less than an hour. More involved repairs like replacing a fill valve, fixing leaks around the base, or addressing multiple issues can take longer.
We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we diagnose the problem, and we work efficiently to get your toilet back in service as quickly as possible. If we encounter unexpected complications that will extend the repair time, we’ll discuss your options before proceeding with additional work.
