I'm replacing the tile in my powder room and just finished with removal and prep of surface. As final step of the surface prep I wanted to remove flange because the tile I removed is 1/2" plus thinset and the replacement tile is 1/8" plus thinset. After watching many videos and reading as much as I could on line for the last two days I confidently began work.
Long story short, I cut out a 2" x 2" section of the pvc drain pipe that is above grade. Oh and I severely scored the bottom 2" of the pipe below grade mistakenly thinking it was the flange. (sigh)
In looking in the drain the white pvc I damaged is only a few inches long below grade and it feels like it's sitting on some type of lip/ledge of an elbow.
What are my options? Can I remove the entire piece of pvc and replace it? Do I need to call a plumber?
I'm relatively handy but this was my first time replacing a flange and despite all my research and talking myself through it, I screwed it up.
Thanks,
