  • This toilet needs to come off the wall to fix a leak when the toilet is flushed. First quote is £615 to remove toilet, place bits, refit and seal. Can anyone walk me through the process of removing the toilet please?

  • Undo those two bolts holding it down, run a knife around the sealant and lift it out.

    At least, that's what it would be for ours.

    Isolate the water feed and give it a flush first, so that if the siphon is leaking it doesn't have much water left in it.

  • Thanks. It was easy to get off.

    I have fitted a new flush cone and ordered a new pan connector. A straight forward job so far. Everything is neat back there so I don't imagine that I'll have any problems than it being a bit awkward to fit the pan connector.

    The pan was fitted using silicone sealant only. I thought this always a bodge at first but the internet is telling me that it is pretty usual these days.

    Questions for anyone are; is silicone sealant an ok way of securing the pan? I'd rather not drill the tiles for bolting down if I can avoid. Do I need a particular type of sealant or will any sanitary sealant (eg this from screwfix ) do?
