Tile floor/toilet interface - 10/06/17 02:08 AM
We had large tiles laid on the floor a couple years ago. When the toilet was installed it didn't seem to sit correctly, rocked a little bit. Called the contractor and he sent a guy out who put in a thicker wax ring and shimmed the toilet and caulked around the toilet. That lasted a little while until it started seeping again. This time they sent another guy and supposedly he put in a new flange and reset toilet and caulked again. Now a couple years later it is seeping again through the caulking. So we are about 2.5 years into this bathroom and the toilet is leaking again. My thought is the tiles that are under the toilet need to come up, the slab smoothed with a skim coat maybe of concrete and tiles relaid and ensured they are flat. Any one know someone who would be good at this? I am thinking a plumber who also lays tile.
