Finally got around to yanking basement toilet off as it was shimmed all around and rocked.
Not suprised to find the top of the 4''in toilet flange was raised 3/4''in above the floor. The flange isn't actually sitting on the tile floor, as I have 3/8''in of daylight below the bottom of the flange and tile.
It's a spare bathroom in the basement. I WON't be breaking up the floor.
I'm thinking to using a dremel to cut the PVC flush with the floor, using one of those flange repair kits. My only hesitation is that it would reduce the size to 3''in? It has a rubber boot that would fit tight to the existing pvc wall and sit flush on the floor. I would use concrete screws to secure to the floor.
I considered using 3/4 inch plywood and tracing the toilet base, and shimming the flange all around. It would be what my father considers a "hack job"..
Thoughts?
