A toilet that runs constantly wastes 26β200 gallons of water per day depending on the severity β that's $20β$100 extra on a monthly water bill for a problem that typically requires a $15 part and 30 minutes to fix. A toilet that rocks on the floor is either a loose flange bolt or a deteriorated wax ring β and if it's the wax ring, every flush risks sewer gas leaking into the structure. Masters Plumbing Service's toilet techs in Tigerville, SC carry fill valves, flappers, wax rings, flush valves, toilet bolts, and supply lines to resolve every common toilet problem in a single visit.

Toilet repairs look simple on paper, but a misdiagnosed flapper replacement on a toilet with a failing fill valve just extends the running noise by another month. Our techs identify the actual failed component β not the most obvious guess.
Phantom flushing (spontaneous refill with no flush) almost always indicates a flapper that no longer seals β a 10-minute repair. But sometimes it's a hairline crack in the overflow tube that keeps the water level from holding. We check both.
Our vans carry Fluidmaster fill valves, Korky flappers, wax rings in standard and extra-thick profiles, brass toilet bolt sets, braided steel supply lines, and complete tank-to-bowl gasket kits. The most common toilet repairs in Tigerville, SC complete in a single visit without a parts run.
Pulling and resetting a toilet requires shutting the water, draining both tank and bowl, disconnecting the supply line, unbolting the toilet from the flange, removing the old wax ring fully, inspecting the flange for damage, and seating a new ring with the correct compression profile for the floor height before resetting and re-bolting the toilet.
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 published β ask for them when you call.
Our trucks are stocked for the most common toilet repairs β most calls complete in a single visit.
Old-style ballcock fill valves with a float ball and brass arm are still common in older Tigerville homes. We replace these with modern Fluidmaster-style anti-siphon fill valves that provide more reliable shutoff, quieter fill, and a 5-year warranty against failure.
If the flange is damaged β cracked porcelain collar, corroded cast iron, or a flange sitting below finished floor height β we repair or shim the flange before wax ring installation. A wax ring on a damaged flange won't hold long-term.
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 β a specialized toilet snake with a protective rubber boot β to reach through the trap and break or retrieve the obstruction without scratching the porcelain bowl.
The flush valve is the large central drain at the bottom of the toilet tank. Over time, the flush valve seat β the surface the flapper seals against β can develop mineral scale buildup or micro-fractures that prevent the flapper from sealing completely. If a new flapper doesn't resolve a running toilet, the flush valve seat is the next check.
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 (tank-to-bowl gasket), install new brass bolts with neoprene washers, and reseat the tank with correct torque to avoid cracking the porcelain.
When a toilet is cracked, has a non-rebuildable internal flush mechanism (common in some older European-style or wall-hung units), or the overall condition warrants replacement, we supply and install a new unit in the correct rough-in dimension for your bathroom. 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.
We don't replace everything and hope one part was the issue. A short diagnostic step tells us exactly which component failed β and we fix that one.
We ask whether you have a gravity-feed toilet (standard) or a pressure-assist model, which affects which parts we bring.
Dye test for flapper seal, time the fill cycle, check the fill valve shutoff height, observe the flush cycle, check for base movement, and examine the supply line and tank hardware. A running toilet is diagnosed in under 5 minutes this way β no guessing.
If the diagnosis reveals a more involved repair than initially expected (damaged flange, cracked tank), we explain it before proceeding and re-quote accordingly.
Approved repairs execute immediately. After completion, we run five flush cycles to confirm the repair holds β silent tank refill, no base movement, clear bowl, no water at the base.

Master bath toilet had been running intermittently for months β I kept jiggling the handle. Masters Plumbing Service's tech diagnosed a deteriorated flapper seat and an aging fill valve that wasn't shutting off reliably. Replaced both in about 35 minutes. The toilet is completely silent now. The tech also found that my water pressure was running at 95 PSI β well above the 80 PSI max recommended β and adjusted the pressure regulator, which was stressing the fill valve in the first place. That kind of thorough thinking is why I called a plumber rather than just replacing parts myself.
My kids flushed something that 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.
Older toilet in a rental unit had a slow running sound that the tenant reported as intermittent. Masters Plumbing Service's tech found a crack in the overflow tube inside the tank β it was allowing the water level to drop slightly, triggering brief fill cycles every 20β30 minutes. A problem I'd never have found on my own. New fill valve assembly fixed it completely.
