Stop using that toilet and tell Stately where the water emerges. Emergency plumbing coverage includes Mount Roskill, with a 24/7 enquiry service. Explain whether another toilet is available and whether the wet area is spreading so the conversation starts with the actual problem at home.
Take the affected toilet out of use
Let everyone in the house know which toilet is out of use. Avoid another flush to show someone the leak. Water from the outlet connection belongs to the wastewater side of the fixture, so keep children and pets away from the wet area. Make that location clear when requesting plumbing help.
If a second toilet is available, tell Stately whether it is working normally based on what you already know. Do not run a series of checks on other fixtures. The immediate report should cover the leak after flushing, the visible connector and any wastewater already outside the toilet footprint, rather than a theory about the whole drain.
Look at the connector without moving the pan
Describe whether the connector appears separated, crooked or wet around one edge. A photograph taken from a dry position can show the relationship between the pan and the pipe. Do not push the toilet backwards or try to press a loose connection into place while water is around it.
Tell the plumber if the toilet has rocked, shifted or recently been moved for another job. Keep that history separate from your observation of the current leak. The assessment needs to establish whether the connection, the pan position or another part of the installation is involved before the fitting is disturbed further.

Separate outlet leakage from water at the cistern
A wet floor near the toilet can have more than one source. Say whether the water was seen at the outlet after flushing or whether you also noticed drips from the cistern, its supply or the bowl. Do not assume every wet patch belongs to the loose connector.
If you already closed a clearly identified, safely accessible supply valve, tell the plumber. That action stops incoming supply to that fixture but is not a repair to its waste connection. Leave the toilet unused. A useful account includes what happened after the flush and what changed after any control was operated, in that order.
Include pan stability in the repair discussion
Ask the plumber to explain the condition of the connector and how the pan is supported. A new connector needs to suit the actual arrangement.
Agree whether the proposed work includes lifting the toilet, replacing the connection and refitting the pan. Ask about access and any finishes that could be affected. Choose a currently licensed plumber for the work and ask who will explain any additional findings before the scope changes. That keeps decisions about concealed damage with the person authorising the job.
Get a clear return to use instruction
Before the toilet is used again, ask what has been checked at the outlet and around the pan. Ask whether any setting or curing instruction affects the return to use.
Keep the repair notes with your photographs of the original position. Report any continuing movement or new water rather than adding sealant around the pan yourself.
Emergency plumber: questions from Mount Roskill
Should I tighten the pan fixings myself?
Leave the pan and connector in their current position for inspection. Moving the pan can alter the connection the plumber needs to assess. Tell Stately if the toilet rocks or has shifted, and provide a photograph if practical. Ask for the repair scope to address the connection and the stability of the fixture together.
Does closing the little supply tap stop this leak?
The supply tap controls water entering the cistern, while the pan connector carries water away after a flush. Tell the plumber if the supply has been closed, but keep the toilet out of use. A closed supply is not confirmation that the waste connection is sound or that the remaining cistern water should be flushed.
What should I say if this is our only toilet?
State that clearly when you call, alongside whether water escaped after the last flush and where it went. Tell the team how many people depend on the fixture and who can provide access. Ask about the next step for assessing and restoring the toilet rather than continuing to use it while waiting for a decision.
