Hello
I am replacing an old toilet and when I went to secure the left closet bolt I discovered that the slotted area was cracked
and I could not fully secure the bolt without it cracking more.
I believe I have a PVC flange but I am not sure. This is my first look ever at a toilet flange.
Can anyone advise me on how to repair this. I have found several flange repair kits, but not sure which one is best.
The toilet flange right now sits about floor level. I have found a sleeve that would fit under the cracked flange, but I don't think I could get
the replacement piece under the existing one since it is at floor level.
I believe this flange sits on 3/4 OSB, with 2 vinyl floors and an 1/4 overlay floor build up around it.
Do you think I could screw a hanger bolt through the broken slot into the sub-floor and use the top threaded part (1/4, 5/16 or 3/8) to secure the toilet?
If not, is there a repair kit you would recommend.
Thanks in advance. I have attached a few pictures
