In preparation for tiling, I removed the old particle board underlayment beneath my vinyl flooring. The board was water damaged under the toilet and while removing it, the rusty screws holding the flange in place crumbled and the ring fell off with absolutely no effort. The cast iron flange was also disintegrated, and a few parts crumbled off so I don't believe it can be saved. (A plumber installed a toilet a few months ago and told me my flange was in great shape!)
Attached is a photo of the flange that fell off, and the remaining plumbing. I have little knowledge of flange anatomy. How do I fix this? And, should I tile before or after fixing the flange? Should I tile right up to the pipe?
