A repair flange comprising members of flat, thin, preferably non-corrosive sheet material dimensioned so as to be flush mounted over finished floor surface. The repair flange is designed to fit around the necks under the attachment rim of various size closet flanges and has an opening offset from the usual circular opening wherein the inner edges of two flange members can be proximate one another, spaced a distance apart or staggered. The flange members wherever their location, fit closely around the neck of the closet flange and the flange body extends over the floor surface beyond the area encompased by the rim of the closet fiancee so that attachment to the floor material can be made beyond the base cf the closet flange. The repair flange primarly adapted to repair floor material directly under the base of toilet bowls which contributes to a snug and tight connection of the toilet bowl to the floor system. A plurality of improved closet rings of substantially the same size and shape as said closet flange and designed to compensate for a situation where the closet flange is below floor level, wherein the rings have affixed to their undersurfaces a circular strip of strong adhesive made of butyl rubber, having a peelable non-adherent protective cover.
