The repair visit split, stated head-on first
| Frame | What it counts | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | repair row | $150-$391 |
| Frame B | professional repair row | $130-$300 |
| Frame B | minimum and maximum rows | $50 / $450 |
Named apart, never a row here: toilet installation (a new toilet), the flange-and-subfloor add-ons scope, and the toilet swap / rough-in move -- this cluster prices toilet repair, the repair visit alone. The add-ons guide holds a flange line inside an installation scope; the flange row in Frame A here is a repair row, a different purchase, named head-on.

The neighbours, differentiated
The standing toilet installation hub prices a new toilet installed, and the installation hub never prices a repair visit; this cluster prices that visit.
The local read
The local read: the frames above are national published frames, and a written quote for one address, one problem, and one part is the only local figure; the frames stand as published, apart.

Is toilet installation the same purchase as repair?
No. Toilet installation is a new toilet installed, its own purchase on its own hub, named apart here. This cluster prices the repair visit alone.
