Very inexperienced DIYer here. I just bought my first home and had both of my bathrooms redone to put tile floors in. Today was my first day to take a look at the work they completed. The flooring company put the tile right up to the flange. On both flanges it looks like they were previously broken from the previous owner and had a 1 Fernco repair peices added on each toilet. Because they tiled right up to the flange I can't remove the Fernco or the bolt that's underneath it. And the bolt isn't long enough to fasten down the toilet even without the wax ring. What would be a proper solution that doesn't include paying a plumber a few hundred dollars to replace both flanges? Keep in mind I'm very inexperienced when it comes to DIY.
