• Flush handle. Loose or broken handles and chains fixed.
• Wax ring and bolts. A fresh seal under the toilet stops base leaks.
• Closet flange repair. Rotted or cracked flanges rebuilt so the toilet sits tight.
• Supply line and shutoff. New braided line and a quarter turn valve.
• Clogs. Cleared with a closet auger that will not scratch the bowl. Toys and wipes get pulled out rather than pushed further down.
• Full toilet replacement. A new toilet set level and sealed, with a new supply line and shutoff.

• Old flanges. Many older bathrooms have cast iron or brass flanges that crack or rust away, so toilets rock and seals fail.
