Fixing a toilet leak at the base caused by a failed wax ring typically costs less than $10 in parts if you perform the replacement yourself as a DIY project by buying a new wax ring and closet bolts. If you hire a professional licensed plumber to come out, remove the toilet, replace the failed wax ring seal, and reset the bowl, service call fees and labor generally range from $125 to $250. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when removing the toilet and cleaning up old wax seals. Verification: Test the repaired toilet with multiple flush cycles to confirm no water escapes around the base.
