Laminate floor around curved toilet base?

[greenmummy]

We've laid laminate flooring in the bathroom, but not sure how to finish / seal the gap around the curved base of the toilet. The gap is quite wide in parts (1cm?)!

Any suggestions much appreciated!

heeelllooo greenmummy and welcome

assuming you have white porcilain a bead of white sanitry silicon taperd to shed any fluids onto the laminate floor
youll need to do more than one application to get it right

snap you beat me moz

Thanks Moz! I should have mentioned the gap around the toilet base is pretty uneven - ie 1.5cm wide in parts, and much more narrow in other parts.

So other than white sealant, is there anything like a flexible trim that could be laid over the gap to disguise it, rather than something to fill it? If not, will give the sealant a try.

Thanks!

done properly the silicone will be virtualy invisible
as it will look like part of the toilet bowl

as big-all says you need to build it up to one whole bead then the next on top ...

I find it easier in the long run and more professional finish to remove and replace the pan, only takes an hour and saves messing around.
