Once I decided to go for it the install was pretty straightforward. I decided to secure the device through the tabs into the surrounding tile. That way if I have to remove it at some point and try something else I can just take it off and my flange will be back in the same condition as I...

I think I am going to go with the hydroseat. I will use a few brass washers as shims under a few of the feet to level it out and hopefully improve the seal between gasket and toilet horn.

The keyways on both sides are broken and buckled upwards. I could get bolts in but would not trust them to hold.

Ah, then that looks like a good product, but I would still have to repair the existing flange first before I could use it.

Dry-fit went ok, there is a bit of wobble but a shim or two should fix. Problem is that because of the uneven tile floor I am not confident that I am getting a solid seal between the toilet and gasket of the hydroseat.

I came back to ask about this very product! I happened to pick one up because I could not find a flat flange repair ring anywhere. Here is what it looks like sitting in place for me. I have two concerns about this though: 1) The significant gap between the top of the flange and the bottom of...

That is a great write up but my flange is not cast iron and it is broken so I don't think this will work for me.

Ok, will avoid the spacer. What about the Fluidmaster "Better than Wax" toilet seal? Would that be an option in my case? It looks like the rubber gasket that comes with it would effectively bring the flange up to floor level for me.

Forgot to mention that the flange is embedded into the concrete floor, in case that makes a difference. Ok, I was thinking that repair ring and a thick wax ring might do the trick but worried it was still too deep. Is it possible to secure a repair ring on top of the flange with tapcons and...

I have found several threads discussing how to deal with a broken flange and others describing how to raise a flange to be flush with the finished floor but not both problems at the same time. The basement toilet in my home would occasionally leak when flushed so I finally decided to replace it...
