What pushes the price up
Old toilets cemented to the floor, a soil pipe in an awkward position, a damaged floor under the pan, or changing from a floor outlet to a wall outlet all add time. Moving the toilet to a different position is a different job altogether, involving new soil pipework.
Saving money
Buying a mid-range toilet from a reputable brand, choosing one that suits your existing soil pipe position and grouping the job with other small repairs can all help. If your toilet is only running or flushing weakly, a repair may be enough – a new toilet isn't always necessary.
