Toilet bowel water is leaking out of the base of the toilet onto the bathroom floor.

Toilet bowel water is leaking out of the base of the toilet onto the bathroom floor.

Toilet water is leaking from the base of the toilet to the tiled bathroom floor.  I suspect the toilet seal needs replacing.  Which products are available to fix the problem and how instructions as to how the seal can replaced would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi @Daisy12,

 

There is no seal at the toilet base, so perhaps the leak is coming from elsewhere. If there is water on the floor and if this is an older style toilet, the most common leak point would be the flush pipe pan cone.

 

Looking forward to seeing some images of the toilet, as this will give me a better idea of where it might be leaky from.

Thanks Mitchell.   You were right.  Leak was from the water inlet valve.  Too bad it would have taken too long to get the parts needed from click and collect at Bunnings with the delays during lockdown, so had to pay for a plumber.
