I had this problem for almost a month at my rented flat before I decided it was time to fix the wobble. I wondered how do I fix a wobbly toilet when I had no prior knowledge or experience with this. Back at home, we always called a plumber to fix the problem, but this time, I checked online to see if there was a DIY method. I found some steps that you might find useful.

How Do You Fix a Wobbly Toilet?

I read the methods, but I wasn't sure if I could follow it all alone, so I planned to take professional help. However, I can share the guide below for your reference.

Tighten the Bolts

First of all, check if the two bolts at the base of the toilet are loose. If so, tighten them with the help of a screwdriver. 

Shim the Toilet

There is a high chance of a wobbly toilet if your bathroom floor is uneven. So, you can shim the toilet. To do this, first cut through any caulk around the toilet base. Then, slide plastic shims around the base and use a utility knife to cut away any exposed shim parts.

Remove the Toilet

If the above methods don’t work, you need to remove the toilet to check for any water leakage. I learned that if you find any leakage; it means the wax ring is damaged. If the toilet is still wobbly or rocking, it might be because of any debris, loose pipes, or a broken toilet flange. You might need a professional to fix this. 

So, these are the steps I found online. Since I was sceptical about doing it by myself, I hired a plumber to fix my toilet. I hope this will give you some idea on how to fix a wobbly toilet.
