Several years ago while remodeling the bathroom, the tile person grouted the toilet to our tumbled marble floor. Now we want to install a new toilet. First how do I break loose the old toilet and second, how do I get the residual grout off the tumbled marble floor without damaging it?

I believe the toilet is secured with two bolts. Don't know why it is grouted to the floor? Grout is very brittle.maybe a cold chisle on a low angle? A picture may help if it is possible

mtconc -Thanks, yes toilet is secured with two bolts. Should not have been grouted to floor! Afraid chisl would damage tumbled marble floor.
