The toilet mechanicals are broken in half the toilets in the house. The internet has no useful advice (for me)
Plan A: Be your own plumber, it is so cheap.*
Plan B: Pay breathtaking amounts of money ($2000) to install $80 worth of parts, which are all made of plastic and could fail in 5 years.
I really don't like these options.
* And while you're at it, be your own electrician, car mechanic, carpenter, etc, etc.

(The bill is $500 per toilet to "rebuild" it, for 4 toilets)
We cancelled the expensive plumber, used a plumber that we've used before who updated the flappers in all 4 toilets for $260.
So the expensive plumber is from a company where the plumbers are on commission and don't get paid unless they convince the owner to do work and they get paid more for quoting bigger bills.
