Can I replace a toilet fill valve myself without professional help?

Yes, you can replace a toilet fill valve yourself if you’re comfortable with basic plumbing. However, tank mechanisms have several intricate parts, and getting them working properly is a job for professionals. If the toilet still runs, won’t flush, or shows leaks at the base or tank after replacement, call a licensed plumber. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling provides 24/7 toilet repairs in Elkhart, Mishawaka, and nearby.

  • Shut off the water and drain the tank.
  • Swap the valve, refill tube, and gasket per the kit.
  • Test for leaks; don’t overtighten plastic nuts.
