Hey Valry
You stuff tags down the opening to seal it and fill it with cement. Good luck, Tom

What if I might want to put the toilet back when I retire?

You stuff the rrags to within a inch or so from the floor line and then just pour in a 1 inch cement plug. Then all you need do is take a hammer and knock it out. Will you be removing the closet flange as well? Good luck, Tom

Do you want the floor flush or do you just want to plug the drain and let it be seen. You could just use an expansion plug. Easy to install and easy to remove. If your station will sit directly over the drain, then it would cover the drain. Expansion plug would be the way to go.

Perfect. Thank you. The expansion plug will be perfect! I don't care if it is seen. I will maybe make a box and cover it with the same type of flooring. Thank you so much.
