Toilet Repair, Installation and Unclogging in Coquitlam and Greater Vancouver

A toilet that will not flush properly, keeps running, or is completely clogged is more than an inconvenience. It can waste water and cause damage if it is not fixed quickly. Gold Star Plumbing and Heating repairs, installs, and unclogs toilets across Coquitlam and the rest of Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and the North Shore.

From stubborn clogs and constantly running toilets to full replacements and bathroom-renovation installations, our licensed plumbers provide fast, dependable toilet service throughout Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, and Greater Vancouver.

Clogged Toilets

A plunger solves most small clogs, but if water keeps rising or will not go down at all, there may be a blockage further down the line or an object stuck in the trap. Our plumbers use the right tools to clear the clog without damaging the toilet or the pipes behind it.

Running or Leaking Toilets

A toilet that keeps running after you flush is usually caused by a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or a float that is not set correctly. These parts are inexpensive to fix but can waste a large amount of water and add to your bill if left alone. We also provide leak detection by checking for leaks at the base of the toilet, which can point to a broken wax seal.

Worn Flapper or Fill Valve

A toilet that keeps running after you flush is often caused by a worn flapper or a faulty fill valve inside the tank.

Incorrect Float Setting

A float that is not set correctly can keep water running and waste a large amount of water over time.

Leaks at the Base

Water around the base can point to a broken wax seal or another connection problem that needs prompt attention.

Weak Flush or Slow Flush

If your toilet needs several flushes to clear, the issue could be a partial clog, a low water level in the tank, or a worn flush mechanism. We check each part of the system to find the real cause and fix it properly the first time.

Toilet Installation and Replacement in Coquitlam

If your toilet is old, cracked, or constantly needs repairs, replacing it can save you money over time. We install new toilets for renovations, upgrades, and replacements throughout Coquitlam and the Tri Cities, and make sure everything is sealed and working correctly before we finish the job.

Signs Your Toilet Needs a Plumber

Some toilet problems are obvious, but others can waste water or cause damage quietly. Watch for a toilet that will not stop running after you flush, water pooling around the base of the toilet, a bowl that fills very slowly after flushing, a toilet that needs two or more flushes to clear, a handle that needs to be held down or jiggled to complete a flush, or a constant hissing sound from the tank. Any of these can point to a worn part inside the tank or a connection issue, and most are inexpensive to fix when caught early.

Running or Hissing

A toilet that will not stop running, a constant hissing sound, or a handle that must be held down can point to worn parts inside the tank.

Slow or Weak Flushing

A bowl that fills slowly or needs two or more flushes to clear may have a partial clog, low tank level, or a worn flush mechanism.

Water Around the Base

Pooling water around the toilet can indicate a failed wax seal or connection issue that may damage the floor if ignored.

Our Toilet Repair Process

We start by asking what the toilet is doing and how long it has been that way. Next we inspect the bowl, tank, and connections to find the source of the problem. For a clog, we use the right tools to clear it without damaging the toilet or the pipe behind it. For a running or leaking toilet, we replace the worn part and test the flush several times to confirm it is working correctly. For an installation, we make sure the toilet is sealed properly, the supply line is secure, and there are no leaks before we consider the job done.

1. We Listen

We ask what the toilet is doing, how long the problem has been happening, and whether it is getting worse.

2. We Inspect

We inspect the bowl, tank, supply line, base, and nearby connections to find the real cause.

3. We Repair or Clear

We clear the clog, replace the worn part, or install the approved replacement without damaging nearby plumbing.

4. We Test

We flush the toilet several times and check the tank, seal, and supply connection for proper operation and leaks.

5. You Are Good

We clean up the work area, explain what was completed, and make sure you are satisfied before leaving.

Our main water line that goes from the street to our home burst and was flooding the yard and pooling against the house. Within about 1.5 hours of calling Gold Star Plumbing they were able to have someone on site to deal with it. Mo knew exactly what to do and was able to resolve the problem, replace the pipe and get our water running again the same day. This was a big job that took the whole day so I was impressed by how quickly they were able to respond.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review! We’re glad we could respond quickly and get your water main line repair completed the same day. The trenchless repair worked like a charm!

Moe and Ethan from Goldstar did an amazing job for us. We had a major plumbing emergency right before we were having guests over, and Moe went above and beyond to make sure everything was finished in time so we wouldn't have any issues. Moe unclogged our bath tubs, replaced our boiler/hot water tank, and also swapped out our bathroom faucets, shut-off valves, and shower cartridges. He was extremely reliable, walked us through the limitations, and always checked in with us before moving forward with any work. When we still had a small heating hiccup after the initial install, Moe sent Ethan right over. Ethan tested everything thoroughly and replaced a faulty part under warranty with zero extra charges. Thanks to both of them, we had zero hot water interruptions and our guests had a wonderful stay. Highly professional team — 5 stars all around!
Response from the owner:Geraldo it was a pleasure serving your household! From beginning to end we at gold star plumbing and heating take pride in our Troubleshooting, repair and installation of hot water heaters. We’re glad we would explain everything step by step for you and work hard to resolve all issues. Thanks for the great review!

My main water line was leaking, and I initially hired another plumbing company to begin the repair. As the work progressed, I became increasingly concerned about some of their recommendations and felt that I might be paying for additional repairs that were not actually necessary. That’s when I called Mo at Goldstar Plumbing. Even though it was late in the evening, Mo came to my home with his tools and camera equipment and took the time to thoroughly inspect the problem. He carefully explained what he found and gave me the reassurance I needed to make an informed decision. I found Mo to be knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. I really appreciated that he took the time to properly assess the situation rather than simply recommending more work. I would definitely recommend Mo and Goldstar Plumbing to anyone looking for a reliable and honest plumber.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris, thank you for the kind review! We’re glad we could help out with your broken water main line leak and provide our expertise. We take pride in thorough plumbing repairs and inspections. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation

Gold star plumbing completely saved my basement during the recent thunderstorms in Vancouver. My basement started flooding due to all the rain and Gold Star was able to come to my house at 2am and found that my sump pump stopped working. They replaced it and got rid of all the excess water super quick. I tried calling a couple other plumbers but none were able to make it as fast as these guys were. I Highly recommend their services!!
Response from the owner:Happy to say we got there in time before there was too much damage! Goodluck to you Mr.Kwan and thank you for the review means a lot to work in the Killarney area
