Common symptoms

Signs the tank components may need service

The toilet may still flush, but a worn or misadjusted part can keep water moving long after the tank should be quiet.

Runs after flushing

The tank does not become quiet because water continues moving through the valve or past the flapper.

Refills by itself

The toilet briefly turns on even when nobody has used it, often because tank water is slowly escaping into the bowl.

Hissing or slow refill

A worn or restricted fill valve can hiss, fill slowly or fail to shut off cleanly at the correct water level.

Standard service pricing

A complete standard tank-component repair for $130

Replacing the common wear items together helps avoid fixing one aged component while leaving another close to failure.

Toilet replacement in Irvine

Dustin can assess a complete toilet replacement at the existing location. This is a separately quoted job, with the fixture, fit, access and condition of the existing connections reviewed before scheduling.

The $130 tank-repair package does not include a complete toilet replacement. A replacement estimate covers the specific work agreed for your installation.

A useful replacement inquiry includes

  • Your city and whether the toilet is leaking, damaged or being upgraded
  • The replacement model you are considering, if chosen
  • A photo of the existing toilet and shutoff valve, if convenient

Photos are optional. Dustin will confirm compatibility and assess access, the shutoff valve and the floor connection. A damaged flange, concealed leak or work requiring soldering can change which work is appropriate.

Simple process

Show the symptom before scheduling

Text a short video

Show what the toilet does after flushing and include a photo inside the tank.

Confirm the scope

Dustin checks whether it appears to fit this standard tank repair.

Approve the estimate

You know the expected repair and price before the appointment.

Repair and test

The components are replaced, adjusted and tested through multiple flushes.

A specific repair—not every toilet problem

Best for running and refilling problems inside the tank.

This service addresses accessible components inside the tank and the toilet supply line. It does not turn every plumbing symptom into a larger project.

Call a drain or plumbing specialist for:

  • A clogged or overflowing toilet
  • A suspected drain or sewer-line problem
  • A leak hidden in a wall or floor
  • Drain-line rerouting or work requiring soldering

Common questions

Running toilet repair FAQs

What is included in the $130 running toilet repair?

The standard repair includes replacing the fill valve, flapper and supply line, adjusting the tank water level and testing for visible leaks.

Why does my toilet keep running or refill by itself?

A worn flapper can let water leak from the tank into the bowl, while a failing or poorly adjusted fill valve can keep the tank from shutting off correctly. The standard repair addresses both components and the supply line.

Do you clear clogged toilets?

No. This service is for accessible toilet tank components. Toilet and drain clogs require a drain-clearing or plumbing specialist.

Do you replace complete toilets?

Yes. Dustin can assess a complete toilet replacement at the existing location. Replacement is quoted separately from the $130 tank-repair package, after checking the fixture, access and condition of the existing connections.

Can you replace the toilet shutoff valve?

An accessible shutoff valve can sometimes be replaced for $115 when the work does not require opening walls or modifying concealed plumbing. Send a clear photo for review.

What areas do you serve?

Primary areas are Irvine, Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. Also serving Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point and surrounding areas.

Dustin from Ultra Home Repair did an excellent job professionally descaling my tankless water heater and optimizing its settings\. Before his visit, the hot water wouldn’t turn on unless I opened two faucets, and even then, it took a long time to arrive\. Since Dustin serviced the unit and switched it to Comfort Mode, the hot water has been working beautifully\. The improvement has been life\-changing\! The service cost was also very reasonable\. Ultra Home Repair is honest and upfront, and they won’t gouge you like others\. Professional, knowledgeable, and highly recommended\. Thank you, Dustin\!
