Homeowners search this question every day, and the answer affects everything from weekend DIY budgets to large-scale bathroom remodel timelines. At CountBricks, we crunch the numbers in real time using our voice-activated estimating engine, so you always know the current material and labor rates before a single bolt is loosened.
Across the U.S. residential market, the typical cost to replace a toilet fill valve sits between $75 and $220. This wide span reflects the many moving parts that influence a seemingly simple repair. CountBricks pulls live pricing from regional suppliers and pairs it with local labor benchmarks to keep your quote accurate to the penny.
• Basic plastic valve swap: $15–$30 for the part, $60–$90 labor
• High-performance quiet-fill assembly: $35–$60 for the part, $80–$110 labor
• Urgent same-day service or night callout: add 20 %–40 % to labor cost
1. Valve Quality and Brand Rating – Premium quiet-fill or universal models cost more up front but can reduce future call-backs.
2. Access Conditions – Tight spaces, corroded bolts, or shut-off valve failures extend labor time.
3. Plumber Expertise – Licensed pros charge higher hourly rates, yet their efficiency often balances the bill.
4. Geographic Labor Index – Metro labor rates in Minneapolis, for example, trend 12 % above the national residential average.
5. Job Minimums – Many service contractors set a one-hour minimum; coupling multiple small repairs can stretch the value of that first hour.
