Toilet Flange Replacement

Introduction

Quickly replace/repair a toilet flange with a replacement kit from a hardware store, following these steps. This should not take more than 20 minutes, although it is highly recommended you do this with a partner as there is a bit of fine adjustment and heavy (60-120lbs) lifting involved. For this, I will be using the Jag Plumbing Products Toilet Bowl Anchor Flange Kit from Home Depot, but similar kits from elsewhere may be substituted as well, provided they have a flange and bolts.

Ensure the area where you will be working is well lit and dry. Check the toilet itself to see if there are any cracks in the porcelain. If there are any, you will need a new toilet unfortunately.

What you need

1. Step 1 Flange

   

   • Spread a towel a bit behind you or beside if you have enough space, as this is where you will be placing the toilet.
