2 questions:
Question 1:
I am remodeling a bathroom and took out the prior tile/subfloor which was 1" tiles on 3/4 concrete. When I got it removed I found the toilet flange is unlevel, the front of the flange is about 1" above the plywood subfloor and the back is 1-1/4" above the floor.
I would prefer to not have to replace the flange if i dont have to, there is a little bit of give, but not enough that I could get it level. I was planning on replacing the subfloor and tiles to the flange sits directly on the new tile, however if I now if i do that there will be a 1/4" gap on the back.
First is there a problem with the flange height, top of flange would be ~1/2" tall in the front and ~3/4" in the back?
Is there something I can use to fill the gap so that it is all on a hard surface?
Question 2 (easier question):
When resting the flange on the new floor, which of the following is acceptable and usually done A) cut the tile in a way that there is a gap where the flange screws go. B) drill holes in the tile for the screw holes. C) use a spacer under the flange instead of tile?
