Hi there, this is my first posting so hope I get it right, forgive me if not. (Sorry I've just realised it might have been better to post this in the bathroom forum but don't know how to move it).
The toilet in our ensuite bathroom has always been slow to drain, we suspect due to not enough of a fall in pipework, plus a modern flush that uses less water, so it has clogged regularly every six months or so. Usually sorted with a blast with a plunger. This happened at christmas with extra people in the house but we thought we'd sorted the blockage. However since then there has been a nasty smell in the bathroom, especially if door and window is closed. Long story short I've removed a tile from the boxing in behind toilet and can see that there are no 'wet leaks'. However the smell is definitely stronger here. Any suggestions on where to start identifying the problem. I've added a photo of the connection to toilet, can these crack or need new seals? Sorry I don't know the correct terms.
Thanks
