ABSTRACT:
A method of reseating a toilet seat employs a flat, rigid member arcuately curved to conform to the outer circumference of a toilet sewage drain. The flat member has a plurality of anchor fastening openings therethrough as well as at least one elongated closet bolt slot. The member is utilized to reseat a toilet atop the upper extremity of a toilet drain when the closet flange originally utilized in seating the toilet has broken, deteriorated, or corroded. According to the method a closet bolt is inserted into the closet bolt slot in the flat member such that the closet bolt head bears against the structure of the flat member and the closet bolt shank projects upwardly therefrom. With the toilet removed from atop the drain, the flat member is placed on the floor adjacent the upper extremity of the drain and secured to the floor by means of a plurality of anchor fasteners. The anchor fasteners extend into the floor through at least some of the anchor fastener openings. A conventional sealing ring is positioned beneath the toilet and the toilet is remounted atop the upper extremity of the drain with the closet bolt shanks projecting upwardly through openings in the toilet base. Closet bolt nuts are then tightened onto the distal ends of the closet bolt shanks to reseat the toilet atop the flat member which provides support for the closet bolt head.
