Replace Flooring Around Toilet Flange

For wood flooring lay it from one side of the room to the other.

Replace flooring around toilet flange. Rest the toilet bowl on its side place it on a towel or cloth to protect the floor and attach the replacement wax ring to the bottom of the bowl this technique helps ensure the ring is in the proper position when placing the toilet over the flange. A spongy floor around the toilet is a strong indication that the subfloor has absorbed water. Flange supports are available at home centers and plumbing supply stores for either cast iron plastic or brass flanges. Required tools for this project.

Turn the toilet sideways on the floor and locate the round mouth where the toilet sits atop the flange. Once you have your plywood laid down and secured you will be ready to lay your replacement tile down. Use your tile nippers to make sure each piece of tile will fit into the area surrounding the toilet flange. If the flooring raises the toilet more.

Once the tiles have been laid you will need to let them set overnight to make sure that they are completely dry. Next install a new wax ring. If you have to tile all the way around the base including the small space between it and the wall strongly consider removing the toilet tiling around the toilet flange and reinstalling the toilet. The hole can be generously large to make laying the flooring easier but the flooring should extend at least 2 inches inside the perimeter of the toilet base.

Either way stop when you get to the area around the toilet drain. Lay the bathroom floor according to the type of flooring you re using. There are two options this step. For hard or vinyl tiles tile from the middle outward.
