Toilet renovation | Vannitoaremont 24

Vannitoaremont 24 repairs and builds toilets in Tallinn and Harju County: replacement of flushing cisterns and toilet bowls, installation of wall-to-wall toilets, connection of hygienic showers, and inspection and repair of ventilation. By the end of 2025, 219 toilets have been repaired, 147 of them with a wall-hung toilet frame.

We always connect the fan in the toilet room to the existing air duct in the panel building, which passes through all the apartments in the same riser, and before installing the new fan, we check whether the duct needs a non-return valve.

Toilet renovation services

Toilet repair in the toilets of apartment buildings and private houses consists of four jobs at Vannitoaremont 24: installation of a bidet shower and wall-mounted toilet, repair of the cistern and replacement of the toilet bowl.

  • An installer fits a bidet spray beside a wall-hung toilet. Each set includes a non-return valve to protect the water supply.

    Hygienic shower installation

    The bidet shower installation connects the shower tray with a thermostatic mixer, which limits the water temperature to 38 degrees, to the water supply next to the toilet bowl, using a 1.2-meter flexible hose.

    Vannitoaremont 24 always installs the thermostat before handing over to the customer with a limit of exactly 38 degrees, no higher, and tests it with three consecutive water tests before calling the job done.

  • An installer adjusts a toilet cistern mechanism. By the end of 2025, a few drops of food colouring in cisterns had revealed 73 silent leaks into toilet bowls without flushing.

    Cistern repairs

    Cistern repair replaces a broken filling or draining valve, float or button mechanism, the failure of which in the in-wall box can be heard as the sound of running water behind the wall.

    The reason for the running cistern is a clogged float valve, which takes half an hour to clean without removing the wall tiles.

  • A wall-hung toilet frame is installed with fixing bolts tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. By the end of 2025, 588 bolts had been tightened.

    Wall-hung toilet installation

    The wall-to-wall installation attaches to a hidden metal frame that carries a static load of 400 kilograms, and the frame fits either in front of a load-bearing wall or as an independent frame above a lighter partition.

    Vannitoaremont 24 checks the mounting points of the frame with a spirit level before closing the wall, because a skewed frame will make the toilet visibly askew later.

  • An installer fixes a new floor-mounted toilet. Its base is chosen to cover the mark left by the old toilet on the floor tile.

    Toilet replacement

    Changing the toilet bowl begins by measuring the distance of the outlet from the wall, 18 centimetres, because the new bowl must fit the existing drain pipe without removing the floor.

    Vannitoaremont 24 silicones the base of the new toilet to the floor only on the front and sides, and leaves the back edge open so that the drain connection leak is immediately visible on the floor, rather than seeping under the toilet for years.

Toilet renovation prices

There are two starting points for the price of a toilet renovation: changing the toilet bowl to the existing pipe connection from 90 euros or a new wall-mounted toilet with a frame from 190 euros. The surveyor comes to look at the toilet and writes a quote without asking for a fee.

ServicePrice
Toilet complete renovationalates 1900 €
Toilet replacementalates 90 €
Wall-toilet installation with framealates 190 €
Cistern repairalates 47 €
Hygienic shower installationalates 190 €
Fan replacement with non-return valvealates 145 €

What affects the price:

  • floor-standing or wall-mounted WC solution
  • the location of the outlet and whether the drain branch needs to be moved
  • does the ventilation duct need a non-return valve
  • The WC repair bill is divided as follows: 30 percent at the beginning of the work, 50 percent at the end of tiling, 20 percent at handover
  • outside of Tallinn, the travel cost of the WC property is 0.92 euros per kilometer for each repair day, calculated from the city centre office

How long does toilet renovation take?

It takes 2 hours to replace a toilet bowl that fits the existing drain pipe. Moving the drain branch to a different outlet adds 3 hours to open and close the floor tile.

Installation of a wall-mounted toilet with a frame takes 2 working days: on the first day, the hidden frame is fixed and the plumbing is connected, on the second day, the toilet bowl is hung on the finished tiled wall. The partition covering the frame and its tiling come in addition to the price of 190 euros for the wall-mounted WC installation and have their own working days in the schedule.

In the windowless WC, we install an extract ventilation fan with a 100 mm duct that exchanges 90 cubic metres of air per hour. In a panel building, the air duct divides all apartments of the same riser, therefore, before installing a new fan, we check the condition of the duct with the help of a camera, and we install a non-return valve on the fan of the common duct, which prevents odors from the neighbour's apartment from moving through the duct.

It takes 45 minutes to repair the cistern without opening the wall tiles. The toilet enquiry is answered within the same working day, and the replacement of the device begins within 15 working days of the agreement. The movement joint rule of Tiling work also applies to the new partition of the wall-hung toilet, which has a flexible joint at the joint between the wall and the floor. By the end of 2025, 241 toilet bowl replacements and 118 cistern repairs have been made over the existing pipe.

An installer uses a wrench to connect a floor-mounted toilet's water pipe. Plastic washers beneath the fixing screws protect the porcelain from cracking as they are tightened.
A plumber in grey work clothes squats by a wall-hung toilet frame fixed to timber posts, looking at a sheet of paper below it; plasterboard sheets and a work light stand nearby. The frame enclosure uses two layers of moisture-resistant plasterboard.

Wall-hung toilet upstairs in a Haabneeme detached house

Owner: Merit R., two-storey house in Haabneeme. Location: near Põhkkonna steps, Haabneeme, Viimsi parish. Job number: 1745.

Site visit. The surveyor checked the location of the outlet and the ventilation duct, and the frame installation, partition and tiling had their own days in the 5 business day schedule.

Dismantling of the old device and installation of the new one. On the first day, the old floor toilet was removed on the company's trailer, and on the second day, the wall-hung toilet frame was attached directly to the wooden posts of the floor and wall, because the plasterboard cannot support a 400-kilogram load.

Pressure test and partition. The water pipes remained under pressure overnight, the paper placed under the frame was dry in the morning, the fixing points of the frame were checked with a spirit level, and the partition covering the frame was tiled in 2 days.

Ten consecutive flushes. On the fifth day, the toilet was hung with a 3-liter and 6-liter two-stage flush, the windowless toilet was replaced with a 100 mm ducted non-return valve fan that moves 90 cubic metres of air per hour, and the flush was tested ten times in a row.

Repair price: €2,104.80 including VAT: WC complete renovation 1 × €1,900 = €1,900, fan replacement with non-return valve 1 × €145 = €145 and Viimsi repair day travel costs for 5 days × €11.96 = €59.80.

Repair duration: 5 working days in 2025, including demolition 1 day, frame and pipes 1 day, bulkhead and tiling 2 days, and toilet and fan 1 day.

Finished room: The frame of the wall-mounted toilet supports 400 kilograms, and the paper under it remained dry overnight with pressurized pipes.

How we work

From a site visit to ten consecutive rinses in three benches.

  1. 1. Site visit and riser inspection

    On site, we measure the distance of the outlet from the wall, check the condition of the ventilation duct and discuss whether you want a floor-standing or wall-mounted WC solution. Together with the quote, you receive a schedule that lists the days of installation of the device and the days of construction and tiling of the partition covering the frame. In the toilet room of the panel building, our surveyor also inspects the riser from behind the hatch and writes its condition in the written quote.

  2. 2. Remove the old toilet and install the new one

    We dismantle the old toilet bowl or cistern and take it away on our trailer, the debris from the construction of the wall-hung toilet goes into a construction-waste bag, which is taken away by the car with a forklift. The new unit is installed and connected to the existing drain and water piping.

  3. 3. Testing the flush

    After installation, we test the flush ten times in a row, checking that the float valve closes at the correct water level and that the flush does not stagnate. A 24-month manufacturer's warranty applies to sanitary equipment.

How to Choose the Type of Toilet Bowl and Flush Box

The size of the room, the construction of the wall and the maintenance habits decide which solution is suitable.

Floor-standing or wall-mounted toilet

A toilet bowl resting on the floor is easier and cheaper to install because it does not require a hidden frame or partition. The wall-mounted toilet leaves a free space under the floor, which makes cleaning easier, and its frame occupies a depth of 15 centimetres in front of the wall.

Exposed or concealed cistern

A visible cistern is cheaper and easier to maintain, because the fault is immediately visible and the repair does not require opening the wall. The concealed cistern hides the mechanism behind the wall and leaves a cleaner line in the WC, and is repaired through the maintenance hole in the wall panel.

Single or dual flush

The two-stage flush allows you to select a smaller 3-liter volume for liquid waste and a larger 6-liter volume for solids, saving water compared to a single-stage 9-liter flush. Instead of the single-stage cistern in the older apartment, we install a two-stage one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Standard Outlet Distance from the Wall?

The standard distance is 18 centimetres. We install a toilet with an adjustable outlet to the old pipe in another place.

How much load can the wall-hung toilet frame carry?

The frame carries a static load of 400 kilograms. We check the fixing points of the frame with a spirit level before closing the wall, because a slanted frame will tilt the toilet later.

Why Does a Fan Need a Check Valve in a Panel Building?

The air duct of the panel building is common to all apartments in the same building. Through a common channel without a non-return valve, the odors and humidity of the neighbour's apartment reach your toilet.

How long does it take to change a toilet bowl?

Changing a toilet to match the existing pipe connection takes 2 hours and moving the drain branch adds 3 hours to open and close the floor tile.

How much does toilet renovation cost?

The repair of the toilet as a whole costs from 1900 euros. A simple toilet bowl change is cheaper, from 90 euros, wall-hung toilet installation with a frame from 190 euros.

What temperature is the sanitary shower water limited to?

The thermostatic mixer limits the water temperature to 38 degrees. After installation, we test the restriction with three consecutive water tests before we consider the job complete.

Can the Flush Box be Repaired Without Opening the Wall?

The mechanism of the visible cistern is right at hand under the lid and the wall is not opened. The service point for the concealed cistern is located behind a wall panel that can be opened for repairs.

In which areas do you repair WCs?

The WC repair area includes Lasnamäe and Mustamäe panel houses, Kalamaja and Kadriorg wooden houses, the rest of Tallinn and the homes of Maardu, Viimsi, Saue, Keila and Rae parishes. By the end of 2025, 158 toilets in Tallinn and 61 in Harju County have been repaired.
