Blocked Toilet water level not dropping down?

Question

I have a Blocked Toilet, how do I unblock it without creating a bigger problem with the water in the toilet the level of which is not lowing? and how much would be a fair price to get a plumber to come and unblock it?

Ralph · Answer

Yes £60 pounds would be a fair price have you got a mop and you could plunge it yourself 😊

Tommie · Answer

Have you plunged it with a rod? 
If so check the manhole to see if there is a blockage may need a drainage engineer with a jetter.
I would charge 100 for trying to unblock any toilet as it’s an emergency.

Robat · Answer

Have you got any idea what could be blocking the toilet? For example waste itself, wet wipes, or what I had a couple of weeks ago was the plastic disinfectant that is placed on the pan. 

Normal waste can be a relatively simple job by using a plunger, or by improvising (plastic bag tied tight to a mop) if you haven't got one.
If its something that's been flushed down, it can be a bit tricky. You would expect a normal call out charge from your local plumber or drainage company.

Lee · Answer

If you have a plunger you could try that first. Do you know if anything has went down the toilet such as nappies etc?

Ashley · Answer

Hi, you can always buy a plunger and plung yourself but make sure you get a toilet plunger not a sink (you can use a sink but not recommend) 
And you can normally expect to pay between £80-150

Daniel · Answer

I think between £80 to £150 depending on blockage.
In some cases you would need a drainage specialist

David · Answer

Any decent plumber would assess the soil and vent pipe .try and access it .pull up the manhole too .
One can then ascertain what's causing the blockage .
A simple way is to use a mop by creating a vacuum .air supply .literally up and down .up and down .and you will here the air going through the pipe .take all the water out .do this a few times .then flush see what happens .then create auction with water in forcing the water down the pipe with the mop.it does work it's like blowing the blockage out .it's the same principle as unlocking a kitchen sink .watch a few YouTube videos on .

Dealing with a blocked toilet can be frustrating, but you can try a few steps to unblock it without making the problem worse:

1. **Use a Plunger**: A plunger is often the first tool to try. Place the plunger over the drain hole at the bottom of the toilet bowl, create a seal, and push and pull it gently but firmly. This can help dislodge the blockage.

2. **Hot Water and Dish Soap**: Pouring hot (not boiling) water mixed with a few tablespoons of dish soap into the toilet can sometimes help break down blockages. Let it sit for a while and then attempt to plunge again.

3. **A Toilet Auger**: If the plunger doesn't work, a toilet auger (also known as a closet auger) can be used to reach and break up blockages further down the drain.

4. **Chemical Drain Cleaners**: Be cautious with chemical drain cleaners, as they can be harsh and damage pipes. If you use them, follow the instructions carefully.

If these DIY methods don't work, it's a good idea to call a professional plumber. The cost for a plumber to unblock a toilet can vary depending on your location, the severity of the blockage, and the plumber's rates. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from £100 to £250 or more for this service. It's a fair price to ensure the problem is resolved correctly and without causing damage to your plumbing.
