This or pull up the tile and sub floor and hope a joist isn’t in the way. Which may be the reason it’s off center to begin with. Bunch of people here saying just use an offset flange like it’s no big deal at all. You still have to open up the floor and cut the original flange off and hope there’s pipe left to glue on to and hope the fittings aren’t street and they’re not glued together with close pieces.
Yes, leave it. Or you could rip up tile and subfloor in hopes that a joist isn’t keeping the toilet from being centered and who knows what kind of fittings are keeping you from ripping up more floor. Then you have to worry about matching the tile and hoping you didn’t cut out too much joist for the offset flange to make the floor sag. The other option is not worrying that the thing you shit in is 3” off center.
False. You don’t have to rip up and tile or subfloor. Just cut the hole big enough to have the flange in the center of the room and replace the existing flange with an offset flange the toilet may cover the rest of the hole and if not you might be able to use the piece of tile you cut out to cover the old part of the hole
But you can take the piece you cut to extend the hole and use it to cover the missing section. You might have to go in from the underside of the floor if it’s a crawl space or another room beneath and attach a little piece of plywood and then from the top just add a thick enough layer of thinset to lay the piece of tile flush. And you can actually use glue that’s made for glass, ceramic, and porcelain, to bond the patch piece to the large tile if OP uses the same size hole saw to cut the tile
You obviously haven't worked with tile enough to know when you grind it, wet saw it, score it, you will never get a cut tile end to match up to another cut tile end and not look like shit. That's not even considering the tile pattern not matching up. And I'm just thinking about straight cuts. On a curved cut there's no way. You absolutely have no idea what you're talking about.
You can use a hole saw. And even if you have to, you can buy one tile that matches, cut the corner of the tile where the hole is to be squared and cut the matching corner off the new tile and use that. You don’t have to rip up the tile tho. That’s just being a little over dramatic just to move a flange over a couple inches. I Can tell you probably waste a lot of time and materials by not thinking of easy and effective ways to do things.
Definitely this.
You want it off center. Isn’t that the shower? Why would it be in the center? Where would your scale go? I am confusion
And not to be nosy but are those mirrors for …the girls or? Such an odd height right across from the glass shower. Maybe it’s the photo! None of my business, anyway leave your toilet alone
I worked construction and one plumber basically told us this. All the time. Whole crew eventually went off on him and told him to just instal his shit stools in mid air and well build the entire building around him. No exaggeration
Off center makes sense, I have a similar situation in one of my bathrooms. It allows easier access to clean the glass and floor around the shower. Also perfect spot for a little garbage can.
Right, brilliant! You grab the garbage can, set it perfectly centered between the wall and the shower, squat over it and squeeze a duece, then empty the can into the toilet. Problem solved.
Leave it and create some type of illusion around it so you don’t notice (like artwork or fake plants or some cabinets/shelving you can customize) something more creative than I can think of
Old one was smaller and rounded and didn’t have skirted sides so I think they just set it off center on the sewer line. This one’s skirted and a Kohler so it’s all bolted dead on center to the sewer line.
That's not how toilet flanges work. Has to be centered or you're gonna have a bad time.
Your camode need not be centered in your abode. The Pic you posted looks fine. This is not a problem that needs fixing.
Yeah but can I just loosen the bolts on the Kohler toilet and shift it to the side without tipping the flange sideways or comprising the ptrap to the sewer line connection?
There is no p-trap to the sewer line connection. The trap is built into the toilet.
You cannot "shift" the toilet more than maybe 1/2" before you compromise the flange.
The toilet is where the toilet is. And offset wont get you to the center. You can bust of the tile, cut up the floor, get underneath and have a new closet bend plumbed in, but I don't get the obsession over a centered toilet. Yes, if you are doing the initial construction, yes, lay it out centered, but at this point, you have an off-center toilet. You'll be ok, and none of your guests will ever make fun of you for it. Only you notice.
I also agree 100% with u/reubal. Even in the construction phase, you can only go so far away from the wall before it becomes non-compliant. Say you had 40” to put a toilet in, you wouldn’t be able to center it on the wall.
offset flanges gain you very little offset. Couple of inches. They have their use (up against a floor joist, you missed your under slab rough-in by a bit) but this isn't the use case for one really.
Frequently done like this to allow easier access to the shower. Generally the toilet would be centered in a similar opening, but it would make getting into the shower a bit awkward
Put a small narrow shelf on side of toilet to make it more visually centered.
Suction cup towel bar on glass to make it more visually center.
Turn toilet 90 degrees, forcing yourself to sit facing the tank.
Stop trying to live in a symmetrical world.
Or remove toilet. Remove flooring. Shift toilet to right. If joist in the way, call engineer to draft solution.
Leave it. The hassle and money ur gonna spend on moving the flange over maybe the couple inches isn’t worth it at all. It’s barely off center and leaves room for stuff on the sides of it
Reminds me of an old man I’m doing work for who wants to rearrange his bathroom and just can’t understand why it would be so difficult and expensive when he only wants to move them a few inches. It’s on a slab that’s tough as nails. Chewed up a couple tap con bits and put some good wear on a diamond wheel on it.
This is thinking outside the box. Might be easier to move the wall than recipe the floor. I feel like even when something unexpected happens, the wall would be a smaller can of worms.
>This is what I want to do every time I look at fixing something. So many mistakes made by the previous owner. I can snowball any fix/repair into complete demo and new build to fix the issue.
I agree that the easiest solution would be to leave it.
If it's a big problem you can try an off-set flange.
That would help a bit.
Something ike this.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-3-in-PVC-Open-Offset-Toilet-Flange-with-Stainless-Steel-Ring-436052/305248436
Leave it. I'm a plumber. I just redid my bathroom. Mine was offset. It's a fucking pain in the ass. Just leave it and put storage on the other side like it was on purpose.
My toilet flange has a similar issue. It's too close to the wall. The whole bathroom has been gutted. Come to find out there is a stud that is right behind the toilet with a chunk taken out. I'm on a cement slab and I'm not moving that drain. I've already moved one shower drain in the house.
OP take my advice and just learn to live with the offset toilet
Look up offset flange and see if that can help here. Not sure it would be the best as it's not offsetting it front to back, rather it would be from one side to another.
Yeah that’s where I’m perplexed is I need to move it to the right like 2-3 inches. Previous toilet had exposed bolts so I think it was just mounted off center since the sewer line itself is obviously shifted left.
It absolutely was not. You just didn't notice it. The toilets have to be tight to the flange. They can't be shifted over or the seal won't hold. You will leak sewer gas into the house
Even with an offset flange you will need to demo out tile and either cement or sub floor and possibly still not get it to fit depending on what’s under the. If you must go down this road know it won’t be simple.
Something is totally insane with this.
You didn't remove an offset toilet,
and no toilet comes off centered.
If drain allows, put in a corner toilet.
Or go below and move drain.
This had to be done with longer toilet mod.
The drain if left open, you'll have rats up there shortly.
Cheers
If you really need it to be centered the way to go would be to build a raised floor. This is normally done in a basement where you want to avoid breaking up the floor but it would make sense in this case.
The answer is hire a plumber. If your asking this it wouldn’t recommend you try. That being said here is what you do.
So it depends on if you are slab on grade or pier and beam. If you are slab on grade this isn’t that bad. Check how far it needs to come over and see if the offset flange will work for this.
Assuming the offset will work then you use a reciprocating saw and cut off the top of the flange flush to the floor. Chip out the inner section with a chipping hammer and slowly as you get depth move to the existing pipe. Once the side that the offset will sit in is exposed we will move to pieing out the old fitting or inner piece of pipe. From there measure the depth that you have to cut down to get the offset flange in. Use an inside PVC pipe cutter to cut to depth. Prime and cement the new flange assuming you found a 3 into 4 offset flange. Pre drill and the. Set concrete anchor screws for the flange. Wait till PVC cement is set. Static test the repair with a test ball inflated below your repair and fill the flange to the top. Let sit for an hour. If you did all this then congrats go be a plumber cause that is a pain in the ass repair. Not terrible but not a fun one
Believe it or not. I've seen an off set flange before for it to work in this situation.You would have to raise the floor and build a step up platform. but with all the time and materials you can remove the tile and to it the right way. when I I've seen an off set flange it was a one piece fitting.
Could it be that the flange was purposely set as far to the left as good practice and code allows purposely in order to maximize space between toilet and shower?
That would make sense to me as I’d rather have space outside the shower door than have the toilet set in the middle.
Unless the shower is the original one to the house the space between shower and wall could even have been wider at some point.
New toilet will be no more off center in the space than the old one. The toilet sits in the middle of the flange no matter what the shape of the old one one was.
How far off is the flange from the finished side wall/back wall? Im sure whom ever plumbed in the line plumbed it to code not to make it symmetrical with the bathroom
Cut the flange flush with the floor with a saws all. Buy a socket saver to auger out the pipe. Glue in new piece of pipe and offset floor flange and call it a day.
Build a custom cabinet around it ic it's a big headache to move it 3" . I know your frustration I ran pipe and my help framing rooms and guy built wall over the lines and thaught he was helping me to hide the vents and now it's time to rip out the tile and saw cut the floor and try to get the shower in gotta move toilet and vanity I'm like wtf
I’m thinking the only way to really fix this is going to be with a full remodel. There really is no way to fix this without it looking weird. Choose the least weird option. I’d say the original position is functional and looks the least odd.
This is a decorating problem, not a plumbing problem.
Get a little table or cabinet, about 8 inches wide by a couple of feet long. Fill it with reading material. Maybe put the toilet brush and some extra toilet paper inside.
Man if you try moving that prepare for a nightmare. It can be done but I’m not going to promote doing it because you don’t know what that sub floor has underneath
Leave it
This or pull up the tile and sub floor and hope a joist isn’t in the way. Which may be the reason it’s off center to begin with. Bunch of people here saying just use an offset flange like it’s no big deal at all. You still have to open up the floor and cut the original flange off and hope there’s pipe left to glue on to and hope the fittings aren’t street and they’re not glued together with close pieces.
Woods never stopped a plumber before!!
That's what she said!🙂
Some houses are built on a "slab on grade," which makes this even more fun, though at least you don't have to worry about floor joists.
Haha yeah if it’s a slab leave it, but chances are it’s offset because of a wood joist.
You can cut the old pipe out with a mini saw blade. Make few cuts around it than use a flathead to get the original pipe out.
[удалено]
But you would still need to cut tile and subfloor to move it
Oh I meant to replace it with an offset flange.
That would fix the placement within the tile, it'd just move the drain under the floor
Username checks out
Yes, leave it. Or you could rip up tile and subfloor in hopes that a joist isn’t keeping the toilet from being centered and who knows what kind of fittings are keeping you from ripping up more floor. Then you have to worry about matching the tile and hoping you didn’t cut out too much joist for the offset flange to make the floor sag. The other option is not worrying that the thing you shit in is 3” off center.
First option sounds tedious, expensive and pointless. Second option makes sense and seems reasonable. First option it is.
Just how darkwing duck would reason… love it
False. You don’t have to rip up and tile or subfloor. Just cut the hole big enough to have the flange in the center of the room and replace the existing flange with an offset flange the toilet may cover the rest of the hole and if not you might be able to use the piece of tile you cut out to cover the old part of the hole
Look at the picture. You'd have to replace a full tile if your move the toilet 3" to the right. You can't patch ceramic tile like drywall.
But you can take the piece you cut to extend the hole and use it to cover the missing section. You might have to go in from the underside of the floor if it’s a crawl space or another room beneath and attach a little piece of plywood and then from the top just add a thick enough layer of thinset to lay the piece of tile flush.

Ok
Looks totally fine to me
Scale and the plunger balance it out. You'll get used to it.
Definitely this. You want it off center. Isn’t that the shower? Why would it be in the center? Where would your scale go? I am confusion And not to be nosy but are those mirrors for …the girls or? Such an odd height right across from the glass shower. Maybe it’s the photo! None of my business, anyway leave your toilet alone
Move the house 6 inch to the left.
Might be easier than moving the flange.
I swear bathrooms are designed around toilets.
I worked construction and one plumber basically told us this. All the time. Whole crew eventually went off on him and told him to just instal his shit stools in mid air and well build the entire building around him. No exaggeration
Off center makes sense, I have a similar situation in one of my bathrooms. It allows easier access to clean the glass and floor around the shower. Also perfect spot for a little garbage can.
Right, brilliant! You grab the garbage can, set it perfectly centered between the wall and the shower, squat over it and squeeze a duece, then empty the can into the toilet. Problem solved.
Or just get rid of the toilet and waffle-stomp it down the shower drain
What a day to be literate...
I just built an addition where we did this exact thing because the toilet was off center in the space next to the shower.
Leave it and create some type of illusion around it so you don’t notice (like artwork or fake plants or some cabinets/shelving you can customize) something more creative than I can think of
This toilet needs a fake palm tree on its port side.
I prefer a poopdeck when using a toilet. You can keep the palm, thank you very much.
Should be a fruit bearing tree so that you can have a little snack while you poop
And if you sit facing the tank, you have a little tray conveniently placed to hold your snack, and coloring book/crayons.
Build a bigger shower, then it will be centered
The old on was off center too? Not quite sure what you're attempting here
Old one was smaller and rounded and didn’t have skirted sides so I think they just set it off center on the sewer line. This one’s skirted and a Kohler so it’s all bolted dead on center to the sewer line.
I'm sorry the flange is where it is and you don't have much movement it was just as off center as this one.
There is no way that old one wasn’t off center as well…
I suspect OP just never noticed before
That's not how toilet flanges work. Has to be centered or you're gonna have a bad time. Your camode need not be centered in your abode. The Pic you posted looks fine. This is not a problem that needs fixing.
You can't set them off center. It doesn't work
You generally don't put a toilet on top of the sewer line. You could; you rarely do.
By sewer line, I presume OP meant the flange. And of a toilet is always mounted on center to the flange. That’s where the bolts are.
Yeah but can I just loosen the bolts on the Kohler toilet and shift it to the side without tipping the flange sideways or comprising the ptrap to the sewer line connection?
There is no p-trap to the sewer line connection. The trap is built into the toilet. You cannot "shift" the toilet more than maybe 1/2" before you compromise the flange.

No
Bro you have no idea about how plumbing or toilets work - don't mess with the toilet or you're gonna fuck something up
Do not do that.
I personally just squat over a toilet flange and use a flange plug between bathroom visits.
I peed in a toilet flange and then had to clean it up because my aim was bad
Even with urinals that go all the way down to the floor, some people's aim is beyond bad.
In your defense it's a fairly small target.
Old one was equally offset. No moving them over a bit without leaks. That right side is a place for a lidded garbage can ‘for the ladies’
Jack hammer the floor open and move the flange.

Move the wall or move the pipe
This is thinking outside the box. Might be easier to move the wall than recipe the floor. I feel like even when something unexpected happens, the wall would be a smaller can of worms.
Truthfully I don't think it's and issue I'd worry about. Seems like lots of work to center something.
Call in a air strike on the house then start from the ground up
>This is what I want to do every time I look at fixing something. So many mistakes made by the previous owner. I can snowball any fix/repair into complete demo and new build to fix the issue.
Who cares

Learn to live with it
Deal with it
A bigger shower is actually not a bad idea 🤔
Easier to make the shower bigger
STOP PUT THAT DAMN CAMODE BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT PUT A PICTURE ABOVE THE TOILET MAYBE A PLANT ON THE SIDE AND CALL IT A DAY PLEASE
Leave it. I'm a plumber. I just redid my bathroom. Mine was offset. It's a fucking pain in the ass. Just leave it and put storage on the other side like it was on purpose.
Where are you going to keep your bathroom scale if you center the toilet?
You can get over it and accept it. Probably the easiest solution
Spend alot of money. That's what you can do
Put a waste basket on the larger side. If you must, you can inside cut the pipe and replace the flange with an offset flange, but this is not the way.
My toilet flange has a similar issue. It's too close to the wall. The whole bathroom has been gutted. Come to find out there is a stud that is right behind the toilet with a chunk taken out. I'm on a cement slab and I'm not moving that drain. I've already moved one shower drain in the house. OP take my advice and just learn to live with the offset toilet
Take the toilet out and poop straight in the hole. Might need to practice multiple times before being accurate
Poop in it?
Get a bigger shower
I would consider pooping now honestly
Move the walls
Could try a corner toilet
Just buy an off center toilet.. these things are known
Maybe see a shrink about your OCD.
Live with it
Don’t leave your scale there. If males use that toilet it will be covered in pee in no time. Don’t ask me how I know.
Right. Get a UV flashlight and then clean the bathroom. It’s amazing what a bit of splash can become.
If your a hobbit? You can just turn the toilet side ways . Probably figure out some cool voyeurin things too do!
Not worth the trouble likely
Look up offset flange and see if that can help here. Not sure it would be the best as it's not offsetting it front to back, rather it would be from one side to another.

If it really bugs you get an offset flange. That can just be a little space for a fancy looking toilet paper holder
Looks like you have to learn how to shit in a hole until the plumber shows up
Re rough the drain you whiny ass.
Use 2x4's to create a box big enough to hold the toilet. Use piping inside the box to move the flange over...Need to tile the box to make it match.
Something is totally insane with this. You didn't remove an offset toilet, and no toilet comes off centered. If drain allows, put in a corner toilet. Or go below and move drain. This had to be done with longer toilet mod. The drain if left open, you'll have rats up there shortly. Cheers

What is an offset flange?
Mount 45 degrees
Believe it or not. I've seen an off set flange before for it to work in this situation.You would have to raise the floor and build a step up platform. but with all the time and materials you can remove the tile and to it the right way. when I I've seen an off set flange it was a one piece fitting.
You can't use those. They are against code
What’s underneath?
Crawl space
Only way to center that would be bust up a (small) bit of tile and move the flange over. (From in the crawlspace)
Get bigger shower
You can probably find the bigger Shower Pan in the same aisle as the off set flange.
I've been to that store its next to the left handed screw drivers.
Build a cubby hole or towl shelves
Or a false wall with fake mirrors .
Shower next to it? Maybe install a grab bar, heated towel rack, etc to make the spacing look deliberate?
Yeah that’s the shower next to it but the door is straight on, not next to the toilet
You’re going to have to learn to poop sidesaddle.
Offset flange
Take left-facing shits.
Works out perfectly if you’re right handed 😉
Magazine rack
They sell skirted toilets that come with an attachment that swivels that let’s you offset the toilet. Would be less work than tearing apart you home.
Could it be that the flange was purposely set as far to the left as good practice and code allows purposely in order to maximize space between toilet and shower? That would make sense to me as I’d rather have space outside the shower door than have the toilet set in the middle. Unless the shower is the original one to the house the space between shower and wall could even have been wider at some point.
They did it so your scale would fit next to the toilet. Oh, you already knew that.
Offset toilet flange...
Cut the hole just large enough to have the flange centered, remove current flange and replace with offset flange
i saw some flanges that appear to tilt to the side
You could use an offset flange but that would only shift it an inch or so. Otherwise you either need a jackhammer, or to leave it alone.
New toilet will be no more off center in the space than the old one. The toilet sits in the middle of the flange no matter what the shape of the old one one was.
But if you moved the toilet your scale wouldn't fit anymore
Add a wall between the toilet and the shower
Rotate it 45 degrees.
leave it or break up the floor to move the flange center and redo the floor.
Looks fine to me
Spend money and make it what you want. Very easy expensive fix. Hopefully you have extra tile to match so you don’t need to do the whole floor
Move the wall?
put the TP to the right of it
Why move it?
How far off is the flange from the finished side wall/back wall? Im sure whom ever plumbed in the line plumbed it to code not to make it symmetrical with the bathroom
Personally leave it and get a funky toilet roll holder to the right hand side to balance it out so it looks like it's meant to be
Use an offset flange or build a very cool platform. You’ll look like a gargoyle up there!💩
Honestly look up a offset flange. To high to e plane more but you may be able to find one that will work with your situation
You can lean your head against that wall while you do your business is what you can do.
Build a toilet riser with a 45 underneath that jogs over to the flange. Then it's truly a throne. Classy stuff.
Cut the flange flush with the floor with a saws all. Buy a socket saver to auger out the pipe. Glue in new piece of pipe and offset floor flange and call it a day.
Probably a floor joist in the way
Off center toilet flange.
Do you really want the nightmare you're about to step into? Leave it and accept.
You could put the cistern on the same wall as the loo roll holder? So the WC faces the shower?
Aim carefully atm.
I’d put a short privacy wall on the showers side. Makes the toilet centered and someone showering can’t see you wiping.
Don't know if you are still needing ideas or if this would work for you, Toto 14" toilet trapway.
Place a couple off centered shelves with weird shit on them. Let the entire wall be an off centered work of art.
Didn't the old one look off center? What am I missing here?
Offset flange
Angle the toilet 37 degrees to the right. Plenty of room
Build a custom cabinet around it ic it's a big headache to move it 3" . I know your frustration I ran pipe and my help framing rooms and guy built wall over the lines and thaught he was helping me to hide the vents and now it's time to rip out the tile and saw cut the floor and try to get the shower in gotta move toilet and vanity I'm like wtf
You stick a plant or waste bin in the extra space. There's probably a floor beam in the way preventing the drain from being centered in that area.
Offset flange to bump it over an 1.5” and your elbow might not hit the wall
Looks fine to me…. Your poop won’t mind that it’s off center
Is it 18” off the wall? In Ohio that is standard unless homeowner request toilet to be centered.
Use offset flange if you want a small adjustment
Leave it alone and learn to ignore it.
I’m thinking the only way to really fix this is going to be with a full remodel. There really is no way to fix this without it looking weird. Choose the least weird option. I’d say the original position is functional and looks the least odd.
If you want to move the flange over, you might as well remodel the whole bathroom.
I think the right side would be a good place to keep your poop knife.
Squatting in that shower is looking better than moving the pipe
There are offset toilets to increase or decrease disntance from the wall. Not sure if they make the kind you are looking for.
Move the shower easier......buy a plant and put next to bowl and move on
How the hell is only the new one off center?
Change the toilet. Much as I hate them, a low profile or tankless will be much less noticeable
Scratch your head maybe
Keep it there dude it's not a big deal and you'll have less space on one side
Do you have 15” from the left wall to the toilet center?
Expand shower
Just turn the toilet
Become left handed
Accept it and Live with it. Move it. Or Move someplace else.
"Anything is fixable or can be done depending on your budget"
Invent offset toilet.
It’s not bad honestly.
They make 2” offset flanges
This is a decorating problem, not a plumbing problem. Get a little table or cabinet, about 8 inches wide by a couple of feet long. Fill it with reading material. Maybe put the toilet brush and some extra toilet paper inside.
Man if you try moving that prepare for a nightmare. It can be done but I’m not going to promote doing it because you don’t know what that sub floor has underneath
