A running toilet can quietly add real money to your water bill — a bad flapper leaks hundreds of gallons a day. It's also one of the most predictable repairs in plumbing, which is why Middleman offers it at one flat Routine Care price, parts included.
Middle half of 2,500+ real Tampa Bay invoices, 2024–2026. Most jobs land inside this band — your firm quote comes after the diagnostic.
A pro finds the real problem on-site and writes a firm quote. That’s all you pay to start.
Book instantly — no diagnostic visit, no waiting for a quote. All-in $246.75 with the service fee.
$235 flat. Flapper, fill valve or full rebuild — parts included. With the 5% service fee your all-in total is $246.75 — shown before you book, held by Stripe until you approve the finished work.
Real invoices: across 52 toilet repair and installation jobs in Home Therapist Cooling, Heating & Plumbing’s Tampa Bay 2026 HVAC + Plumbing Cost Report (2,523 completed residential jobs, May 2024–April 2026, CC BY 4.0), the median customer-paid total was $354 and the middle half landed between $264 and $565 — the range above (it includes full replacements, which is why the top end is high). A running toilet that just needs tank parts is Middleman’s Routine Care job at $235 flat with parts included ($246.75 all-in) — booked instantly, no diagnostic fee, priced just under the invoice floor for toilet work.
A licensed pro accepts — you see their name and license number — and comes out to find the real problem. The $50 is your pro’s $40 visit charge plus Middleman’s $10 booking fee; that’s all you pay to start.
Labor, parts, and the 5% service fee, itemized in writing. Decline and owe nothing more — the visit even converts to a free second opinion.
Payment is held by Stripe and released only after you confirm completion — backed by your pro’s 30-day workmanship warranty.
A running or leaking toilet fixed at one flat price — flapper, fill valve, or a full tank rebuild if that's what it takes, parts included. All-in with the 5% service fee: $173.25, shown before you book.
That's a different repair (usually the wax ring) — post it as a diagnostic job instead, and your pro will quote it firm after the $50 on-site visit.
Sometimes, on very old fixtures. If your pro thinks replacement is the smarter spend, they'll say so — you'll get the options in writing and nothing happens until you approve.
