The situation

Toilet acting up?

A running toilet that won't stop

Usually a worn flapper, fill valve, or a chain that's catching. The water is constantly running into the bowl — wasting gallons a day and adding up on your bill. Almost always a same-visit part swap.

Weak or incomplete flush

Mineral buildup in the rim jets, a fill tube out of position, or a flapper that closes too fast. Repairable in place — usually without removing the bowl.

Water pooling at the base

A failed wax ring or a cracked flange under the toilet. Common in older Portland homes where the subfloor has settled or rotted around the closet bend. The longer it sits, the more subfloor damage.

A toilet that rocks when you sit on it

Loose or broken closet bolts, a rotted flange, or a subfloor that's soft underneath. Rocking eventually breaks the wax seal — same outcome as a base leak. We pull the toilet, diagnose what's underneath, and tell you what we found before quoting.

Ghost flushing or phantom refills

The tank is slowly losing water through a worn flapper seal, so the fill valve cycles every few minutes. Quiet, easy to ignore, and one of the most common silent water-bill problems we see.

Most of these have a clear fix on the first visit. Here is how we handle it.

Diagnosis on the first visit

We pull the tank lid, check the flapper, fill valve, and seat — and if the issue points to the wax ring or flange, we pull the toilet and look. No guessing from symptoms.

Written estimate before we start

You see the price after diagnosis and before any work begins. Priced by the job, not the hour — no overtime surprises.

Most repairs done same visit

Trucks carry flappers, fill valves, supply lines, wax rings, closet bolts, and seal kits for the most common brands. Less common parts are usually a same-day pickup from a local supply house.

Honest read on repair vs. replace

If the bowl is cracked, the trim is discontinued, or you're looking at multiple compounding failures on a 30+ year old fixture, we tell you that plainly — and what a swap would cost. You decide.

What's included

What's Included in Your Toilet Service

  • Full diagnosis

    We check the flapper, fill valve, seat, supply line, wax ring, and closet bolts — and pull the toilet to inspect the flange and subfloor when symptoms point that way

  • Internal repairs

    Flapper and fill valve replacement, chain and float adjustments, supply line swaps, and seat hardware — most done in under an hour

  • Wax ring + flange repair

    Toilet pulled, flange inspected, flange repair or replacement as needed, new wax ring set, toilet re-seated and leveled. Subfloor evaluated; minor rot patched in-house, larger damage flagged so the right trade can handle it — either way quoted before any extra work

  • Full toilet installations

    Removal of the old fixture, new toilet set with a new wax ring and supply line, leak-checked, and the old unit hauled away. Bring your own toilet or have us source one

  • ADA comfort-height swaps

    Standard-height bowl traded for a 17" comfort-height model — easier on knees and backs, same install scope as a regular swap

  • Upfront written estimate

    You see the price before we start, priced by the job, not by the hour

  • Labor warranty

    1-year warranty on all repair labor; manufacturer warranty on new fixtures

Why Portland Homeowners Choose bluefrog

SE Portland, independently owned

Morgan founded and runs bluefrog from SE Portland. The business is woman-owned and LGBTQ-owned — a team that reflects the city we serve. When you call, you reach a local shop whose owner oversees every project, not a national dispatch center routing you to whoever's available.

Flat-rate pricing, in writing

We price by the job, not by the hour. You see a written estimate after diagnosis and before we touch anything — no overtime charges, no surprises. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Fully licensed, permits handled

Every technician works under Oregon CCB #255748. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close it out — you don't have to coordinate anything. The work meets Oregon code and gives your home a clean paper trail.

Your plumber is our employee, not a subcontractor

Every technician on our crew is a direct bluefrog employee — background-checked, Oregon-licensed, and accountable to Morgan personally. We don't route calls through a dispatch network or hand off to whoever's available. You'll get the right person for the job, not just whoever's next in the queue.

We had a mysterious hot water flow issue that a different plumbing company couldn't figure out, and Shae immediately solved it and fixed it same day. They were also able to get us in quickly, which I appreciated. Thank you so much!

Common Questions About Toilet Repair & Installation in Portland

How much does a toilet replacement cost in Portland?

A standard toilet replacement — old unit removed, new fixture set with a new wax ring and supply line, haul-away included — typically runs $450–$750 in labor depending on flange condition and access. Add the cost of the toilet itself; mid-grade Kohler, American Standard, and Toto bowls run $200–$500. ADA comfort-height and water-saving models are in the same range. You see a written estimate before any work starts.

My toilet rocks — do I need a new flange?

Sometimes, but not always. Rocking can be loose closet bolts, a damaged closet flange, or a soft subfloor underneath — and we can't tell which without pulling the toilet. We pull it, look at the flange and the subfloor, and tell you exactly what we found before quoting. In older Portland homes (pre-1950) it's often a combination — flange repair plus minor subfloor work that we can patch in the same visit. If the rot is more than that, we'll show you what we found and coordinate the right scope before re-setting the toilet. Either way, the bowl gets re-set on a new wax ring once the flange is solid.

Can you install a toilet I bought myself?

Yes — that's a common request and there's no markup or hassle for supplying your own fixture. Standard install scope is the same: old toilet pulled and hauled away, new wax ring, new supply line, your toilet set and leveled, leak-checked. One thing worth knowing: if the toilet you bought has a non-standard rough-in (the distance from the wall to the flange center) or a unique footprint, we'll flag it during the estimate so there are no surprises mid-install.

How long does a flange repair take?

Most flange repairs are done in the same visit as the toilet pull — typical scope is 1.5 to 2.5 hours including diagnosis, the flange work, a new wax ring, and re-seating the toilet. If the subfloor underneath is soft enough that a patch is part of the job, plan for an extra hour or two. We tell you the timeline after we pull the toilet and see what's underneath, before we commit to anything beyond the original quote.

Is a running toilet really worth fixing right away?

Yes — and it's usually a small repair. A continuously running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, which shows up on your water bill within a billing cycle or two. The fix is almost always a flapper or fill valve swap, both inexpensive parts we carry on the truck and can replace in well under an hour.
