What happens here

Caulk around the base of the toilet where it meets the floor. Use a kitchen, bath & plumbing caulk that is easy to clean with water. Apply a continuous bead of caulk around the perimeter of the toilet, but leave a 4-inch gap in the very back. This gap allows for easy detection of any future leaks, as water would show up on the floor instead of being trapped underneath the toilet. Once the caulk is applied, wet your finger (or a contractor's sponge) slightly and smooth the caulk bead for a clean, finished look. Allow adequate drying time as per product instructions.

Goal: Seal the toilet base to the floor and allow for leak detection

Tools and materials

  • Contractor's Sponge — Smoothing caulk
  • DAP Kwik Seal Kitchen — Sealing the toilet base to the floor

What they say

Hide

Get yourself a contractor sponge and some kitchen bath and plumbing call. This is going to be easy water cleanup. I'm going to leave about a four-inch gap in the back of this toilet, right? I only want to call around these edges, mainly because guys peel on floors. Let's be real. Get your sponge wet. You just want it a little damp, just enough to wet your finger and just go right around here. Give that a little dry time.
