A leaking toilet can be more than an annoyance — it’s a steady drain on your water bill, a mess around your bathroom floor, and in some cases, a sign of damage you can’t see. Outright Plumbing’s licensed plumbers repair leaking toilets quickly, with the parts and experience to sort it out on the spot.
Toilets are one of the most common reasons people call us, but they’re not the only fixtures we look after. Explore our services below to see how we can help keep your home running smoothly.
Here’s a snapshot of the feedback we’re proud to receive every week.
When your toilet’s leaking, you want someone who knows what they’re doing, turns up when they say they will, and leaves the place better than they found it. That’s exactly what you get with Outright Plumbing.
Outright Plumbing’s plumbers have been fixing toilets around Melbourne’s southern suburbs for quite a while, so we know the quirks of the plumbing systems and even the water pressure in each area.
We use quality parts and proven repair methods, so the problem actually stays fixed. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly.
While we’re there, we can take care of other plumbing jobs on your list, from leaky taps to blocked drains, saving you another call-out.
We give you the full price before we start, explain what we’re doing in plain English, and only fix what actually needs fixing.
From the outside, a toilet leak can look simple. But after decades of repairing them, we know the knock-on effects and hidden causes most people don’t realise. Here are a few insights that matter if your toilet’s leaking.
Toilets are one of the biggest water users in any home. A constant trickle into the pan can waste tens of thousands of litres a year. We’ve seen bills rise by hundreds of dollars simply because of a leak no one thought was urgent. Fixing it early pays for itself.
The parts that keep toilets watertight — like rubber seals, inlet valves, and flush valves — don’t last forever. They harden, warp, or perish over time, especially in high-use bathrooms. Replacing them with quality parts prevents repeat leaks and keeps the system reliable.
When a pan seal fails, water seeps out at floor level. It might only be a small amount, but it can soak into tiles, timber, and subflooring, leading to structural damage and mould growth. Acting quickly avoids major repair bills later.
We often see temporary DIY fixes like silicone around the pan or jerry-rigged cistern floats. They might stop the problem for a week or two, but the leak always comes back. A proper repair means dismantling the unit, replacing worn parts, and reseating everything so it holds.
Nothing brings about a migraine quite like the horror of a leaking toilet. Don’t you worry; make yourself a cuppa and go on about your day. Leave everything to us. Here’s what we’ll do.
We check the whole setup — cistern, seals, flexi hoses, inlet valve, and base — so we know exactly what’s causing the leak and why.
Our vans are stocked with valves, seals, hoses, and the right tools, so we can sort out the leak in one visit without waiting for parts.
We’ll test everything, adjust the water level, and give the toilet a once-over so you’re not calling us back for the same problem in a few months.
Leaks do not fix themselves. Call Outright Plumbing now, and we can be there the same day to stop the leak, fix the problem, and get your toilet working like it should.
Toilets in commercial and managed buildings get far more use than those in homes, which means leaks show up sooner and spread costs faster. Outright Plumbing works with Melbourne businesses, property managers, and developers to keep toilets in safe, working order.

We’ve fixed every kind of toilet leak you can imagine, so we know the questions that pop up again and again. Our FAQ is the place to find clear, straight answers without the jargon.
For most toilet leak repairs, you’re looking at somewhere between $150 and $350. That’s a ballpark, and the exact cost depends on the source of the leak and how fiddly it is to get to. Swapping out a worn flapper in the toilet tank is quick and on the cheaper side, while fixing a split seal around the base or replacing a flush valve takes longer and sits at the higher end.
Some leaks can waste thousands of litres and push up your water bill, so it’s worth getting a licensed Victorian plumber to fix the leak before it costs you more in the long run. We’ll always give upfront pricing before starting, so there are no surprises.
In most cases, yes. A toilet plumber has the tools and know-how to diagnose the problem and carry out the right repair services. You might spot common toilet leaks like water on the floor or a slow trickle into the bowl, but without the right checks, you can miss hidden plumbing issues.
A licensed plumber will:
Getting it done right the first time saves you money and hassle and ensures that your bathroom is safe to use again immediately.
If the entire toilet needs replacing, expect to pay roughly $300–$600 for labour, plus the cost of the new toilet itself. That figure can shift depending on whether we need to remove the toilet completely to repair severe water damage or swap to a different style of toilet bowls.
We’ll help you choose a reliable toilet that suits your space, budget, and water-saving needs. Then we’ll install it properly so you don’t end up with more toilet leak issues down the track.
It depends on the type of leak. A slow trickle into the bowl isn’t going to cause flooding in your bathroom, but it will waste water and drive up the water bill. A leak around the base of the toilet is more serious. It can cause water damage, rot your flooring, and lead to mould or mildew. Plus, you never know if you’ve got a deeper toilet block that could be made worse if you flush.
If the leak is constant or you’ve got a running toilet, it’s best to turn off the water and call a plumbing company that offers an emergency service across Melbourne. That way, we can address your toilet leak before it gets worse.
Most toilets have a small chrome or brass tap at the back of the toilet where the pipe meets the cistern. Turn it clockwise until it stops; that will cut the water flow. If it’s stuck or you can’t find it, turn off your main water meter outside.
This is a handy step to know, not just for repairing toilets, but also for other blockages and leaks around your home. Once the water’s off, call in an expert toilet plumber to fix the leak properly.
That’s usually caused by a worn-out flapper or seal in the flush valve. These parts sit inside the toilet tank and hold water back until you flush. When they wear out, water slowly seeps into the bowl: one of the most common toilet leaks we see.
Not only does it waste gallons of water, it can also be a sign of other toilet leak issues. A melbourne plumber can replace the part, check for hidden plumbing leak problems, and make sure you have a reliable toilet leak fix.
It depends on where the crack is. A small hairline crack above the water line can sometimes be sealed as a short-term fix. But a crack near the base of the toilet or below the water line is more serious, and it can leak every time you flush and even cause severe water damage.
In those cases, it’s safer and more cost-effective to go for a new toilet. That way, you’re not risking further leaks or damage, and you get a fresh, reliable toilet that’s installed to last.
Outright Plumbing’s specialists will do our best to repair it, but if we can’t, we’ll have a plumber install a new toilet for you.
