We built a bathroom addition on a concrete slab. We also installed a heated floor which entailed fastening heating elements (wire) on the floor and then floating the floor with something (I don't know what was used) to cover the heating elements so that tile could be installed.
At this point the agent used to float the floor was not fluid enough and it did not level the floor. It slopes downward from the wall. As it is now for the toilet to be properly attached to the flange the front of the toilet has to be shimmed up about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. And, the flange has broken once already and is now broken again allowing the toilet to move.
I have searched this forum for a similar problem but haven't found the same set of circumstances. I obviously don't want to tear out a tile floor. Can the pvc flange that is glued to the drain be removed and another device reinstalled at an angle that will make it level with the unlevel floor (I hope that makes sense)? This would allow the toilet, although unlevel, to be attached properly to the new replacement flange and sit flush with the floor all the way around which would look a whole lot better as well.
If the old flange is removed another will not fit into the drain as the old insert will either still be in there or a new one may not extend down far enough to properly attach to the drain. Is a different sort of pvc flange made for this problem? Thank up front for your thoughts and advice.
