Remove toilet fix uneven floor boards
Plumber we used in 2023 rushed and done a poor job bodged everything. I told him the patchwork old and new floor boards are uneven heights. Told him I’d bought new floorboards to make good of floor, to which he didn’t use. He didn’t listen, no pride in his work. He chipped the edges when bodging my brandnew waterproof laminate. No expansion gap. So the toilet sits on wobbly uneven floor. The new flooring is creaking moving so water can ingress into the gaps. Tiny bathroom 1.5 m square. Floorboard area to replace make good is roughly 1 metre square which the toilet sink combination sits on. Flooring underneath bath area isn’t affected probably ok. How much should I pay to take out toilet, fit new section of floorboards refit relay the plastic laminate refit plum the toilet back in ? Are there any plumbers with carpentry flooring skills experience near oldbury ?
