I recently tiled a basement bathroom... I use floor leveler to level the floor and bury the cable for the radiant heating. The problem - I did not carry this throughout the entire bathroom. This is where the problem starts. My tile is not level on the back side of where the toilet will sit. I am ready to install a 3" inside flange into a 4" stub-out (I believe this is acceptable based on previous threads). When I do this, the SS part of the flange sits on top of the tile in one spot, but is 1/4" above the tile in the back (see picture). My plan is to assure the flange is level, then set the wax ring and toilet into place. I will use plastic shims to level the toilet and then grout the gap between the tile and the toilet to assure stability.
Is this correct? Lesson learned... level the entire floor - so simple.
