DIY'er here...(I should be a DDIY'er = Don't Do It Yoursefl)
Anyway, I just retiled my bathroom floor from 1997. Original floor had ceramic tile set directly on plywood. PVC toilet flange was screwed into plywood. I put a new layer of cement board over the plywood, screwed it in and then set the 12 x 24" tile on the cement board (after using mortar, of course).
Problem is, I cut the hole in the cement board AND the tile around the PVC flange, not knowing I was supposed to cut the opening for the drain hole.
Also, to compound things, the floor is 1 1/2" inches above the original flange. See pictures.
Am I screwed here? Do I need to relay cement board AND tile?? (please say no).
