Hello,
I'm new to plumbing and am in the process of renovating an old bathroom. I'm laying down new tile over my existing tile and have read my toilet flange needs to be roughly 1/8" above the new finished tile floor. In order to accomplish this I believe i'll have to buy 1 or 2 flange spacers to achieve my desired height.
Please see the attached photos. The current flange is in rough/ corroded shape although it is currently operable and secured to the floor well. I am able to slide the bolts out (with a lot of elbow grease) and put new bolts in if needed (which I plan on doing).
My plan is to use 100% silicone to adhere the spacers to the current flange before placing a wax ring down and dropping my toilet in place.
Does anyone see an issue with this? I am not really in a position to remove the existing flange...
Thanks a million.
