For the Brave DIYer: A Guide to Toilet Throne Takeover (Installation)
Safety First!
Turn off the water supply valve behind the toilet. If you can't locate it, consult a plumber – this is non-negotiable!
Flush and empty the toilet bowl.
Disconnect the water supply line with an adjustable wrench. Be prepared for spills and have a rag handy.
Farewell, Old Throne:
Carefully unbolt the toilet from the floor flange with a wrench.
Lift the toilet straight up and away, placing it aside for disposal (check local regulations).
Remove any old wax ring residue with a putty knife (optional). The floor flange should be clean and smooth.
Enter, the New Royal Restroom Resident:
Place the new wax ring on the flange, centering the hole.
Carefully lower the toilet bowl onto the flange, ensuring the wax ring forms a seal.
Insert the toilet bolts, washers, and nuts, tightening them with a wrench (don't over-tighten!).
Reattaching the Royal Water Supply:
Install the toilet tank according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Connect the water supply line to the shut-off valve using the appropriate wrench or tool. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific setup.
The Final Touches:
Turn on the water supply slowly and check for leaks.
Flush the toilet and check for leaks around the base. If leaks occur, reconsider your DIY prowess or call in Rapid Repair Services!
Attach the toilet seat and lid according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Congratulations! You've (hopefully) conquered the porcelain palace and given your bathroom a fresh start. But remember, this is just a general guide. If anything seems daunting, don't hesitate to call in the experts!
