The difference
What each option actually means
Valve faults and some leaks can be serviceable, while damaged pans or unsuitable old connections may justify replacement.
The trade-offs
A repair may be economical when the suite is secure and parts are available.
How to decide
Consider physical condition, water efficiency, access and total installation changes.
Before choosing
A plumber should assess suitability, condition, access and applicable requirements. Product or repair recommendations made without seeing the property are preliminary. Ask for the proposed scope, exclusions and relevant warranty details before approving the work.
