Leaking toilet glued to wall

[Dan Robinson]

Try dental floss.

Or the wire hacksaws they sell on ebay.

Who hangs a loo on a wall with just mastic/no nails? Idiots FFS!

see this at leased once a month ,, if as said,, you have had the misfortune to have to remove a cystem box which as had silicon pasted on the back,,,, you will know that it sticks so well its pysicaly impossible to move it with out damage,,, so it needs to be screwed,, because one day you will need a repair which will require removal,,, there is away but its difficult and will end up costing you,, just done one today which took well over a hour to do

Screwed to the wall yes, but preferably not using low pressure plastic seats:

Perhaps they have poor mains pressure

Update: I have two toilets, both were leaking from the waste pipe but the plumber fixed one by removing the boxing-in and pulling the waste pipe upwards and towards the toilet. Unfortunately he replaced the other toilet and the replacement toilet now does the same. I can't get hold of him for the last few days so I assume he's not going to resolve this issue, and I would really appreciate some help from you guys.

The red arrow shows where the toilet leaks from. We're talking probably a couple of tablespoons per flush, not a lot but obviously it shouldn't leak at all! The waste pipe is tight up to the toilet pan, and can move freely in the up or down directions, but still leaks. I'll buy a pint to whoever can help me remedy this (without silicon or LSX)!

Thanks guys.

Is that fitting (pan connector) a new one?

The toilet is new, the waste fitting is not.

I've got a new waste connector but the plumber has glued the toilet to the wall so I have no way of replacing it

Yes and that one's the mains. To be fair it isn't as much of a crazy angle as it looks in the picture but it's definitely not straight.

Anyone who is actually a plumber near Reading fancy a go fixing my toilet?

Looks like Naz has been at it
