When the toilet is wobbling one of the reasons is a high flange. Here is a tutorial on how to lower a toilet flange, how to adjust a level of a flange, and install a new one.
Thanks very nice and helpful sir
Good video, I have cast to deal with but watched yours . Explained well.
Thank you!
Awesome job! Thanks for the technique :-)
Perfect video that’s exactly my situation
Thanks!
Very very nice video always it's better to use paper towel not rag cloth in case rag slip down I have to the same thing on my basement toilet flange thanks for the video
Nicely done👍
Thank you mine has 45' to it so i cut 1/2 inch off bottom
Nice work on the tile, very professional. . too many hacks want to just chip it away.
Great job 👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the video, questions: 1) Did they secure the flange before with screws? Can you tie it down with screws without cut it lower?
I glued it first and then put some screws.
@@DIY-repair What if you have a concrete floor, do you still screw it down?
What kind of screws did you use to screw the flange down ? I’ve got same thing to do lol n my basement with a 1/2” subfloor into concrete so probably 1 /12” screws needed
All the materials are in the description
I didn't see a link to the cutting blade (in the recip. saw) used in the video?

@@DIY-repair The blade used to cut out the old flange is what I was asking. Thanks.

Mine is that high but o got abs. Should I lower it?
If you want it to be in accordance with the code, then yes, you should lower it
Well we didn't see the end result. I would have loved to see if there was a large gap between the floor and front of the toilet as was in the beginning of the video.
The last couple of seconds shows the result.
Umm I might be wrong but I thought the flange was supposed to sit on top of the tile
You are correct. In my case, the floor was not level and had a bump where the flange was located. I had to lower it so the toilet would sit stable.
how much did you cut toilet flange sleeve?
less than half an inch
@@DIY-repair Thanks, I need to do the same to mine]
Ive done this with 3 toilets and it’s pain. I have a toilet that’s leaking so apparently I didn’t do a good job. Ugh
Depends where it’s leaking from.
Then you’re supposed to put plastic spacers. There was nothing wrong with that flange height.
The floor is not leveled so well and I had to put 3 spacer to level the toilet. So, the only way was to lower the flange.
@@DIY-repair ah ok. Good work though!
Took some guts to start cutting that flange out. Just imagine if something went wrong 😑
OR.... you just shim the toilet in about 30 seconds at the cost of about 1 dollar and move on.
It won't help, and in that case, it's not a proper repair. The gap was more than 1/2 inch.
Use gloves next time!
Who on earth invented this ridiculous toilet connection system. Its another American disaster ! Check out the UK systems and also the superb electrical socket outlets.
The uk plumbing network is a disaster and uk’s sole biggest expenditure that they just had to cover up and build on top of because it was such a shit design.. pun intended.. but those square shit pits all the houses have makes for a big stinky country.. theyre a bitch to work on also because theres times where somebody has to get i those nasty pits for every house.. in the us nobody working residential ever has to get in the sewer.. it all flows to a management station where it gets filtered over and over then put into city streams and resovours to naturally filter before being sanitized and all.. the uk puts it all into the ground and hopes its good by tge time it gets to the treatment places..
But i agree with you on the electrical.. all around better.. better panels, better grid, better power…. Mhmm
I thought the idea of the UK being better than everyone else ended a couple centuries ago.
