Toilet seal

[GeeMan]

Could someone with experience tell me what is the easiest way to replace a toilet waste pipe seal without removing the toilet.

Hi,

Sorry to butt in but I have a question also and I think if somebody answers GeeMans question they could probably answer mine....

I bought into my current house about a year ago. When I moved in somebody (a botcher) had "renovated" the bathroom not too long ago. After a few months a leak started in the join between the outside wastpipe and the toilet waste pipe. I think its due to the outside waste pipe meeting the toilet at an angle, ie the outside pipe is lower than the toilet pipe as can be seen. Now even I know that its difficult to get a good seal if the pipes are not lined up correctly. They have just bodged it.

Anyways I did manage too seal it with some white sealant, well it doesnt drip no more! But it does smell a bit!! Now I think maybe its due to the contanimation getting into the bandage stuff that they've used but who knows it may have a very small leak.

So what do I do? I know you can get adjustable interfaces between the two pipes to take account for the angle but all the ones Ive seen are quite long and as you can see there aint much room between the outside pipe and the toilet. Is it a hard job to fix, do I need a plumber? Anyhelp will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Paul.
