I'm in process of replacing a builders installed $50 toilet in my boys' upstairs bathroom (with AS Championn)and I noticed that the closet flange is cracked aalong the right side slot in which the blots sit. My first instinct was to replace the flange - but it was late at night and I reasoned that because the builder had installed the original toilet with the cracked flange (the bolt was not even a little bit tight on dissassembly) so perhaps I could also do a half-assed job and use the cracked flange.
Needless to say, it didn't hold. The closet bolt did not hold. And, I'm now into day two and looking at relacing (or repairing) the flange.
Does anyone know of any repair tips (braces, bolt-downs, etc.) that work to avoid having to replace the flange?
I assume there is no solvent that easily breaks the purple glue bond. Is the replacement process to cut the PVC and re-pipe the flange?
