Why Call Masters Plumbing Service

4 Reasons Professional Toilet Repair Beats DIY in Kensington

A rocking toilet tightened at the floor bolts without checking the wax ring will continue leaking sewer gas into the floor cavity. The right diagnosis matters.

🔎

Accurate Component Diagnosis

We dye-test, fill-rate-check, and measure tank refill time to identify exactly which component is causing your toilet's symptoms. A running toilet can be caused by a worn flapper, a misadjusted float, a failing fill valve, or a cracked flush valve seat — each with a different repair. We find the right one.

📦

Parts On Every Truck

For toilets where the flush valve seat is chipped or the porcelain tank has cracked, we also carry compact replacement toilet units in standard rough-in dimensions.

💧

Wax Ring Work Done Right

A common mistake is resetting a toilet over a partial old wax ring or onto a damaged flange. We clean and inspect the flange, note any damage, and install the correct ring profile before reset. The toilet should not rock at all when we leave.

📋

Flat-Rate, No Surprises

We quote toilet work at a flat rate before any repair begins. Whether it's a 20-minute fill valve swap or a 90-minute toilet reset with flange repair, you know the price before we start. Our rates for common toilet repairs are transparent — ask for them when you call.

Every Toilet Repair We Handle in Kensington, CA

From a constantly running tank to a toilet that's been loose on the floor for years, here's what our toilet techs address in Kensington, CA.

Running Toilet

Running Tank Repair in Kensington, CA

A running toilet is almost always a flapper that no longer seats fully or a fill valve that won't shut off at the target water level. We dye-test to confirm the flapper seal, check fill valve shutoff behavior, and replace whichever component — or both — is responsible.

Wax Ring

Toilet Reset & Wax Ring Replacement

A toilet that rocks on the floor, shows water staining at the base after flushing, or emits sewer gas odor near the floor needs to come up for a wax ring inspection. We pull the toilet, remove the old ring completely, inspect the closet flange for cracks or corrosion, install the correct wax ring profile for the finished floor height, and reset and secure the toilet.

Clogs

Closet Auger Service in Kensington

A toilet that won't clear with a plunger has either a tight clog in the trap or a blockage in the drain arm beyond the trap. We use a closet auger — a specialized toilet snake with a protective rubber boot — to reach through the trap and break or retrieve the obstruction without scratching the porcelain bowl.

Flush Valve

Flush Valve & Flapper Seat Repair

For dual-flush toilets and pressure-assist units, internal mechanism repair requires model-specific parts — we carry kits for major brands.

Tank Hardware

Leaking Tank Base Repair

The bolts and rubber gasket connecting the tank to the bowl can deteriorate over years of service, leading to slow leaks at the tank base or a tank that shifts side to side. We drain and remove the tank, replace the spud washer and install new brass bolts with neoprene washers, and reseat the tank with correct torque.

Replacement

Full Toilet Replacement in Kensington, CA

When a toilet is cracked, has a non-rebuildable flush mechanism, or the overall condition warrants replacement, we supply and install a new unit in the correct rough-in dimension. Standard 12-inch rough-in toilets are stocked on our trucks; 10-inch and 14-inch rough-in units can be sourced same-day or next-day.

How It Works

From Symptom to Fixed Toilet in 4 Steps

Here's what a Masters Plumbing Service toilet call looks like in Kensington, CA from your first call to a quiet, leak-free bathroom.

Describe the Symptom When You Call

We ask whether you have a standard gravity-feed toilet or a pressure-assist model, which affects which parts we bring.

Component-Level Diagnosis

For a rocking toilet, we assess floor movement, flange bolt tightness, and wax ring seal before recommending the appropriate repair.

Flat-Rate Quote

If diagnosis reveals a more involved repair than expected (damaged flange, cracked tank), we explain it before proceeding and re-quote accordingly.

Repair & Performance Verified

We test until we're confident it's right. You don't find out the repair didn't hold after we're gone.

Customer Reviews

Real Toilet Repair Reviews from Kensington, CA

★★★★★

Master bath toilet had been running intermittently for months. Masters Plumbing Service's tech diagnosed a deteriorated flapper seat and an aging fill valve that wasn't shutting off reliably. Replaced both in 35 minutes. Completely silent now. The tech also found my water pressure was running at 95 PSI — well above the 80 PSI recommended — and adjusted the pressure regulator, which had been stressing the fill valve. That kind of thorough thinking is why I called a plumber rather than replacing parts myself.

My kids flushed something I have no interest in describing, and the toilet wasn't clearing. The tech used a closet auger and retrieved the obstruction without damaging the porcelain. Fast, professional, zero judgment. Exactly what I needed.

Kensington, CA · Wax Ring Reset / Clog

★★★★★

Water pooling at the toilet base had me convinced it was the wax ring. Tech traced the water to a corroded tank bolt — water was running down the outside of the bowl and pooling at the base without any leak at the floor seal. A 25-minute repair, not the toilet reset I was dreading.

FAQ

Toilet Questions We Answer Every Day in Kensington

At one drip per second — which looks minor — a toilet wastes roughly 3,000 gallons per year. At average residential rates in CA, that's approximately $15–$25 per year per running toilet. A faster drip or multiple toilets multiply that cost. The EPA estimates fixing all household leaks saves 10% on annual water bills.

If the toilet rocks after the bolts are tight, the wax ring has failed or the floor around the flange has deteriorated. We don't guess — we pull the toilet to confirm which it is and address both the wax ring and any flange damage we find.

For most toilets under 20 years old, repair is the right answer if the issue is a repairable component — fill valve, flapper, wax ring, flush valve. These parts cost $15–$80 and extend the toilet's functional life significantly. Toilets are simple, long-lived fixtures — the porcelain itself lasts decades.

Not always — and misdiagnosing it as a wax ring means pulling a toilet unnecessarily. Water at the base can come from three sources: a failed wax ring seal; condensation on a cold porcelain exterior in humid conditions; or a leak at the tank-to-bowl hardware running down the exterior of the bowl and pooling at the floor.

If the same toilet clogs regularly with only appropriate paper use, a camera scope of the drain line is the right next step to check for a partial restriction or root intrusion downstream.

We test every repair through multiple flush cycles before leaving. The extra 10 minutes of testing is the part that catches a repair that didn't seat correctly — which saves you a callback.
