Toilet Seal Troubles

My sealand toilet no longer holds water in the bowl. I have cleaned the seal area as best I can. Anything else I can do before rebuilding the toilet? How big a job is that to do? Thanks
  • Ours was not holding water. I put on disposable gloves and put a generous amount of Plumber's Putty, silicon grease on it.

    After a couple applications over a week of applying it...no more leak.
  • If it's the ball type buy the "complete" rebuild kit. Don't tighten the spring cartridge too tight.
  • You could try cleaning the blade and seal, but it might be just as mutch work as an actual rebuild...
