Redoing the basement bathroom with a concrete floor. Attached is a picture of the current situation.
The old vinyl tiles will be replaced by ceramic tile (3/8" thick). I will be laying an uncoupling membrane before the tile.
The current drain opening is about 3 ½". From what I've been reading, I was planning on cutting the current bolts off, laying the underlayment and tile, then using a repair flange (probably 3") that will sit on top of the file and fit down inside the old one.
Does that sound correct? If the current opening is 3 ½", the 3" flange will have a little room around it inside the existing opening. What should I do to keep sewer gas from seeping around that?
I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance!
