DIY vs. Call a Pro
Most toilet repairs are beginner-friendly. Flappers, fill valves, and handles are inexpensive and take 15-30 minutes. Replacing a wax ring requires lifting the toilet — manageable but messy.

Call a plumber if the flange is damaged, if there's a crack in the porcelain, or if you need to relocate the toilet drain.
