Tile not level around Toilet.

[azoutlaw]

Are there any tricks to make a toilet not rock when on imperfect tile?? It is not too bad there is just a little rocking. But a little is too much.

If you shim, do it at the back, pinning the front of the bowl down.

And then some clear polyseamseal around the base.

On my way to the hardware store. Any certain shims.

A little rock in a toilet is like being just a little preggers. I would be concerned as to why the floor is uneven at that point. Since the rocking almost certainly cause the wax ring seal to be broken and leak, there may be damage to the flooring beneath the tile causing it to swell. If so, that should be repaired and the tiles reset level. Then, no shim is needed.

I like the plastic door shims that are about 6" long.

You want something that won't rust, compress, or rot to use as a shim.

The best way to do this is first set the toilet down without wax. Shim it so it won't rock at all. Lift it back up, and reinstall with a new wax ring. If it isn't a big gap, I've often found that pennies, dimes, or nickels work, and you don't need a trip to the store. A shim is more universal since it is tapered, there's no trial and error.

Just a poor tile job by yours truly!

I did the shims and it is now solid as a rock. Thank you for the help.
