Fixing a leaking toilet at the base caused by a failed wax ring typically costs less than $10 in materials if you complete the repair yourself. If you hire a professional licensed plumber to remove the toilet, replace the failed wax ring seal, inspect the flange, and reset the porcelain bowl, labor and service call fees generally range from $125 to $250. If subfloor wood rot requires professional carpentry repair, total costs can increase significantly. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when handling sewage seals. Verification: Test the toilet with several flush cycles to ensure the base remains completely dry.
