wet bath toilet sealing

No luck finding answer using search.

Found out the toilet on my old T/C leaks onto the plywood underneath when using the shower. What is the proper way to seal? While at this repair I'll also seal the floor drain.
  • Thanks for the link. I may have the same issue as it is a thetford, will check for the void in the back and probably pull it up and replace the o-ring.

    Lance shower....leak at base of toilet
  • I believe if you check the toilet, there is a void on the back side where the water can leak through the floor.

    I'll try searching to see if I can find a thread where I read about it.
  • Almost has to be coming from around bottom of toilet. I put water in with a water hose and it did not get up to the skirting. I was actually just testing the drain and had a look underneath the shower pan and could see dripping where the toilet drain goes through the floor.

    Is it leaking from the skirting that generally goes all the way around the shower?

    Is it leaking from the skirting that generally goes all the way around the shower? If so, I'd let it dry out completely, then caulk it with silicone, let that dry good, then I'd be tempted to put some Eternabond tape all the way around the skirting that's leaking.
