Hello I sure could use your opinion.
I have tiled the bathroom floor and the closet flange is broken on both sides.
The flange repair tabs will not go under the broken flange. I was thinking of screwing the repair flanges over the top of the broken one and into the concrete. Then use an extended wax ring for the toilet. Does this sound like it would work or is a better repair method out there other than busting out the concrete?

Thanks

Realizing that a closet flanges only purpose is to secure the bowl to the floor and doesn't provide a seal why not save yourself a lot of hassle and set the toilet like we used to before there were flanges.
Set the toilet over the flange and make a mark where the closet bolts would go. Now take a 1/4" masonry bit and drill holes for plastic inserts. Now pick up a set of two woodscrew closet bolts and screw them into the plastic inserts. You may now place the wax ring and set your toilet. Good luck, Tom

I figured there was an easier way

Use the brass ones... they won't rust.
