Probably went to the store and cleared the speedfit section, but not the clip shelf evedently they only had one left

I'm betting that the clip was already there!

Homebase = Rubbish. They let me down consistantly everytime I deal with them.

Any pics of the new bathroom, whats the finish like?

Now whilst I don't claim to be an expert plumber, the amount of dodgy installs that I see (currently doing reactive maintenance) it's unbelievable! Especially the amount of silicone that I find where it just isn't needed (between pans and cisterns is a common one) or ptfe tape on the thread of waste traps!

Isn't Danny in Kent? If you end up looking for a pro to do it and he's got some spare time he's your man.

thats very solid.....not. i've fitted toilets like that. without any cistern to wall holes, the only fitting holes were on the base of the pan. i must add that my installations weren't anywhere near as loose as that lol.

I wouldn't rock it too much or you might find yourself using a bucket :lol:

That is seriously bad installation work. Get them back to it.

No toilet should be directly fixed through laminate flooring to allow for expansion of the flooring. The laminate must be cut round the shape of the toilet and a 10mm expansion gap left. The toilet must be secured with non corroding fixxings. I use either M8 Stainless Steel coach bolts or size 10 x 75mm Stainless Steel screws, both are capped with a decorative cover and the toilet NEVER moves. No need for silicone on a toilet, it only hinders removal if the waste gets blocked and the toilet has to be taken out. It looks like your toilet was fixed with silicone only and a very small amount.

Get a real plumber in to fix it, I'm sure that a forum member will be only too glad to pop round.
