I have a toilet that needs to be re-set. The metal closet flange was completely rusted away.
Please see pictures and advise best procedure to get this back in place.
The wood was some fairly substantial rot where the old flange bolts anchored it to the floor.
If I can add something and keep the wood - great. Can I add some wood filler to substantiate the wood.
If not, I guess I will have to cut a piece out and splice a new one in. Would 6-8 inches north and south of the pipe give sufficient strength to hold the toilet?
Even if the wood was good, how do I put on a new flange? The lip of the pipe is above the wood. The tile fits just between the lip and the wood.
I bought a replacement closet flange, but it would sit on top of the lip.
What info am I missing that will allow you all you all to help me?
Thank you in advance.
