I have fixed quite a few toilet pan connectors just by doing same, - Tec7 or similar is excellent.
No point in touching a pan that is perhaps old and often rusty screws or tiled into floor, or on close coupled the cistern is a risk of all sorts of issues.
Life is just not worth the time wasted and risk. Customer will not thank you for making it into a big job, only to achieve the same result. Usually just the seal has weakened and not tight to pan spigot. Just shove a flat screwdriver blade into the joint and clean and dry it. Then keeping the screwdriver in the joint, just empty the silicone gun nozzle into the joint all the way around. No pressure on it really, so as good as new!
I used to just use ordinary silicone


Does the CT1 or tec7 dry fast once you put it in ? Would you rather fix it always like that than changing the pan connector?
 
Sometimes needs must matchless> customer has no money, wants a quick fix to sell or the general state of everything means opening a big can of worms to do the job properly.
 
Yeah, I never had such a customers just yet ... maybe lucky:D

But I will consider it for an sos help :D thanks rpm
 
Changing pan often means changing flooring too. Unless you fancy going on a goose chase for a pan that's a tiny bit bigger in every dimension. Pfft...what do I need, ulcers?
