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

Answered on 15th Mar 2022 - Member since Mar 2022 - report"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."

Answered on 15th Mar 2022 - Member since Feb 2022 - report"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."
