After floor remodel -Toilet now too high to caulk

04/01/2008 06:03 PM jessedebi

Ripped out floor in bathroom and put down new backerboard and tile. Now, when putting the toilet back on, there is a gap between the base and the floor. It is too big to caulk and actually looks like the toilet is "floating" :) Anyway, even if we take all the wax of the flange (i think that is what it is called) the toilet is still too high. I wanted to see if we could use one of those ??no wax flanges. Anyway, it seems that now the only thing we can do is put a piece of wood under the base of the toilet, rip up the floor, or buy a toilet that has a ?? deeper base. Do they make those? Any suggestions?
