Hi,

Looking at replacing a toilet pan, the old screws are rusted solid, could anyone recommend a particular type of screw to replace please , it will be fitting into floor board (s).

Regards
 
Used to use brass screws, but these come with slotted heads. Now use stainless steel.
Essential to screw into properly sized pilot holes otherwise heads will shear. Always wrap shank in PTFE tape or similar to cushion against ceramics. Supplement with silicone bedding.
 
Concrete floor or wooden floor ?
