Hi i am after some advice on what to do with my toilet.The toilet is in a highset house and appears to be held in with four screws into the tiles (cement then chipboard under tiles?) and then attached to the pipe out the back with the wax ring .2 of the screws on the left side cant be tightened and so the toilet can rock back and forth when your on it (very annoying!)Long term i want the floor knocked out and new tiles/toilet in but for now i just want it serviceable.Is there anyway to secure it without removing the toilet such as long screws drilled into where the loose screws are?Worst case could i take the toilet up and put some tile glue or similar on the base of the toilet and glue it to the tiles and put in some new expanding fastners?My only worry is the wax ring thingo on the pipe out the back.Are these hard to remove and how are they secured to the pipe?Attached are 5 photos of my "crappy" toilet :rolleyes:
Any help or ideas appreciated.
