A toilet that runs constantly wastes 26β200 gallons per day β that's $15β$100 extra monthly for a problem that typically costs under $200 to fix. A rocking toilet that's dismissed as a loose bolt without checking the wax ring risks sewer gas seeping into the floor cavity with every flush. Masters Plumbing Service's toilet techs in Platteville carry fill valves, flappers, wax rings, flush valves, and toilet bolt sets to resolve every common toilet problem in a single visit.

Toilet repairs look simple until the wrong cartridge is installed in a fill valve, or a wax ring is reset over a damaged flange that can't hold a seal. Our techs identify the actual failed component β not the most obvious guess.
Phantom flushing (spontaneous refill between uses) almost always indicates a flapper that no longer seals. But sometimes it's a hairline crack in the overflow tube keeping the water level from holding. We check both.
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.
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.
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 β ask for them when you call.
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 Platteville, WI.
Old-style ballcock fill valves with a float ball and brass arm are still common in older Platteville 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.

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.
If the auger retrieves material and the toilet still doesn't clear, the blockage may be further in the drain line. We can extend with a sectional cable machine or CCTV camera to determine if a foreign object is lodged deeper.
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. If a new flapper doesn't resolve a running toilet, the flush valve seat is the next check. We can sand and polish a mildly damaged seat to restore the seal, or replace the full flush valve assembly where damage is more severe.

This repair is commonly misidentified as a wax ring issue when water appears at floor level β water from a tank bolt leak runs down the outside of the bowl and accumulates at the base, looking identical to a wax ring leak until you trace the water path.
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.
Here's what a Masters Plumbing Service toilet call looks like in Platteville, WI from your first call to a quiet, leak-free bathroom.
We ask whether you have a standard gravity-feed toilet or a pressure-assist model, which affects which parts we bring.
Dye test for flapper seal, time the fill cycle, check fill valve shutoff height, observe the flush cycle, check for base movement, and examine supply line and tank hardware. A running toilet is diagnosed in under 5 minutes this way β no guessing, no replacing parts randomly.
Based on diagnosis, you receive a flat-rate quote before the tech picks up a wrench. Common repairs are priced β fill valve replacement, flapper replacement, wax ring reset, clog clearing β and you see exactly what you're agreeing to.
We test until we're confident it's right. You don't find out the repair didn't hold after we're gone.

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 β well above the 80 PSI recommended β 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.
Toilet rocking at the base β I'd been told it was just a loose bolt. Masters Plumbing Service pulled it, and the wax ring had a void on one side from an uneven floor. They replaced the ring, used a flange extender to correct the height to the tile, and reset the toilet. Completely solid and no floor staining at the base. Glad I called before a minor issue became a subfloor problem.
Water pooling at the toilet base had me convinced it was the wax ring. Tech traced the water to a corroded tank bolt β 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.
