Hi Adam.

Usually, take out the old screws and replace them with better fixings. It could be that the floorboards are rotten so you will not get a good fixing in that case you will need to remove the toilet replace the rotten boards then refix the toilet and screws. Regards Steven

The pan usually has pan screws either side of it ,so if it getting wobbly, then that usually  suggests that either the screws have rotted or they havent been fixed to the floor properly.

Jamie · Answer

Either screw the toliet down or put some mastic round the edge to seal it

Mark · Answer

Either attach pan to the floor with screws and raw plugs if not already attached that way or reattach with new screws and plugs if they have rotted or failed.

Steve · Answer

There should be screws to tighten but be very careful this is the easiest way to crack the pan

Rick · Answer

Most toilets have at least 2 fixing holes that should be used to fix a toilet firmly to the floor. Care must be taken though when attempting to do this to avoid damaging any water or heating pipes that might be underneath. You might also be able to use a sanitary silicone to fill any gaps in the base, which when left undisturbed for around 48 hours, should be set firmly enough to prevent any movement in the toilet pan.

You need to screw the toilet down or silicone it down

Jon · Answer

It depends if the floor is wood or concrete, if it’s timber the floor could be rotten, so you would need to replace the floor, if it’s concrete you should be able to rawl plugs and screws. If you drill 6mm hole into the floor and add plugs and then use pan fixing kit.

depending on whether its on concrete or timber I would take  out the toilet if the screw keeps turning and don't tighten  and redo the whole thing and  silicone around if necessary
