    Toilet Flange Question
    I am currently remodeling my bathroom and I need to fix or replace the toilet flange. The old one is cast iron and broken on one side. My bathroom is currently gutted, walls and floor.

    I guess my question is should I replace it, since I have no flooring down and if so, how do I go about doing this or should I just fix the side that is broke?

    You’re help is appreciated.

    Hi Shane.

    Rather then hassle changing out the broken flange why not repair it?
    Most hardware stores carry repair kits, (see image) that just slip under the broken part. This is the easiest and most quick way and the one we use out on service calls. Good luck, Tom
