I have successfully managed to change the pan connect for the w/c in our family bathroom. After accusing my eldest of having a crap aim turns out the pan connector seal had perished a 90 minute job and £10 part bathroom floor has been dry for over 24 hrs

I have successfully managed to change the pan connect for the w/c in our family bathroom. After accusing my eldest of having a crap aim turns out the pan connector seal had perished a 90 minute job and £10 part bathroom floor has been dry for over 24 hrs I think I need some help with this same issue... The toilet in our family bathroom is not connected to the floor!! Usually a toilet is bolted down, but for some unknown reason the previous owners decided not to with our one... Maybe didn't want to damage the tiles? My 3 year old is now at the stage where she loves to jump around just messing around when she's getting ready for bed, brushing her teeth etc. She keeps knocking the toilet and loosening the connection. I've an old ice-cream tub under the outlet to catch drips, but more than twice I've found a huge puddle on the floor... How do I fix this, I'm relatively confident at DIY and using most tools, but not at all familiar with plumbing...! |

How do I fix this, I'm relatively confident at DIY and using most tools, but not at all familiar with plumbing...! Firstly be 100% confident that the leak is from the pan connector. Isolate the water to the loo, flush it then use a bucket and sponge to remove the rest and water inside the pan too. Cut and sealant around base of the loo. Remove any required boxing in/ cabinetry around cistern to gain access Remove any securing screws in the cistern to wall and pan to floor. Pull the toilet away from pan connector. Create enough access to pull pan connector out of waste pipe. Measure old one and get one of matching size. While waste pipe is exposed stuff an old plastic bag in to suppress gases coming out. Using a liquid soap apply to mating surfaces of new pan connector and reconnect into waste pipe. Making sure plastic bag is removed then it's a case of following steps in reverse to completion. |

You make it sound so simple!! 😂 I know it is simple enough, but my fear is filling the house full of shite and the wife making me sleep in the garden! 😂 I'll head out to the DIY shop and pick up some supplies, wish me luck! |

As long as you have removed all water from the pan it shouldn't happen good luck 🤞
