First of all, many thanks for this site and the help provided by the experts here.
I've started the process and decided I'm at the point where I can cause a lot more work for myself - or ask for some help.
My flange is flush with the bottom of the ceramic floor tiles and rotted out. The back is 1/8" below finished floor and the front another 1/8" lower than that. After viewing similar situations here, my plan was to use a SS segmented repair kit (PlumPak 247812). However the whole flange needs replacing.
Can I screw a new brass flange (Plumpak PP23521) on top of the existing flange and use a thick wax seal?
Or
Do I start the digging process to glue in a new drain & flange? Hopefully from the top.
thanks,
Bob
Finished ceiling below. I'd rather not start cutting it down.
