Toilet waste pipe

[Berty84]

Hi all im having a bit of nightmare here I removed my toilet in the bathroom of our new built house to re tile the wall after having a shower installed however since re fitting the dam thing iv got a slight leak from the waste pipe where it goes into the back of toilet iv taken it 3 times already, cleaned it up and checked everything is tight and it still leaks iv bunged it up with a bit of plumbers mait for now but it's only temporary. I just can't get my head around it it's sitting in the exact same spot as last time because the lino was cut around it the waste pipe is a rigid 90 degree coming through the floor so I can't actually get to the join.. is there anything I can do without removing the toilet again?

The fins that form a seal when fitted can get disturbed on removal and may need repositioning.

We would always replace the pan connecter when refixing a toilet .

Or pop it in boiling water, so the fins resume there original positions.

It's less than 6 months old I didn't think it would be that bad

checked everything is tight

Thing is, it's such low pressure water that things don't even need to be tight. Sounds like a seal isn't seated correctly/ has been pushed out of position when the toilet was fitted. Perhaps pour some water tinted with dark paint down the pan, then see if you can better see where the leak is coming from

Push the pan in further even if it messes up the lino, if that doesn't work replace the pan connector.
