THE SHORT ANSWER
Price toilet replacement per fixture, with a distinct product allowance and an assumption about the existing connection. State how a damaged flange or floor will be reviewed if found during removal.
This Australian walkthrough uses a fictional two standard toilet replacements in Geelong, Victoria. The matching toilet replacement estimate example shows the same item quantities and amounts in an app-exported PDF. Measure your own site and replace the example rates before issuing a client quote.
1. Identify each fixture
Record location, selected model and whether the owner or contractor supplies it. Two identical bathrooms can still have different access or existing conditions.
For this example, the agreed starting scope is: Replace two customer-selected toilets at existing suitable floor connections. Include fixture allowance, removal, new seals and supply connectors, setting, basic leak check and disposal. No drain alteration, flange repair or flooring work. A change to a listed surface, product or access assumption should trigger a revised line or allowance.
2. Inspect visible connection conditions
Note floor condition and any visible movement or leakage. The sample assumes suitable existing connections; unknown flange or subfloor repairs are a separate review point.
3. Keep parts and labour visible
List seals, connectors and setting labour separately from the toilet allowance. This prevents a product upgrade from silently changing the labour portion.
4. Define the completion check
Include a basic operation and visible leak check, cleanup and old-fixture handling. An estimate should not promise correction of unrelated drain problems.
Worked toilet replacement calculation
Two checkable lines from the example are 2 each × A$98.00 = A$196.00; 2 each × A$385.00 = A$770.00. The full 6-line estimate totals A$1,883.00 with the demonstration tax input at 0%. The amount is a fictional scenario, not an Australian market rate or a recommended selling price.
Material purchasing and installed quantities may differ. For your own estimate, use the actual takeoff, supplier prices, labour plan, access and disposal requirements. Decide how overhead, profit and the applicable tax treatment affect your final quote; do not copy the example's zero tax setting.
Before you share the estimate
- List each bathroom and selected product.
- Confirm existing connection assumptions.
- Assign purchase and disposal responsibilities.
- Document how discovered repairs are authorized.
Scope boundary in this example: No flange replacement, drain repair, subfloor or flooring repair, fixture relocation or concealed plumbing work.
Confirm the client details and location, item descriptions, measured units, total and validity date. If opening up the work reveals a different condition, document the changed scope and price before proceeding.
Common questions about toilet replacement
Should the toilet product be a separate line?
Yes when the selection may change. A separate allowance shows the product cost and leaves installation labour clear.
What if the flange is damaged?
Treat it as a changed condition: document the required repair and revise the scope and price before proceeding.
