In addition, if you fail to remove the toilet before new floor installation, you set yourself up for future problems if you must replace or remove the toilet down the road. Toilets are manufactured with a wide range of toilet base footprints and the chances of finding a new toilet with the exact footprint are slim to none. This could lead to flooring replacement or a shoddy toilet installation if your existing toilet ever fails.

The damage was exstensive from the improper installation of the shower pan. Its taken several meetings with several contractors, but I've found one that i am confident is reputable, they are a bigger local company with plenty of references and we are getting a 10 year money back guarantee of no water damage after the work is complete.
The contractors are using the Schluter System, which I have read a great deal about online. We are tearing it all out and starting over. The necessary work is well under 20k. I decided against doing a patch job and just starting over since there was so much water damage. So construction starts February 27th. Will hopefully be sharing good news and posting pictures in the near future. You were able to work magic with that budget!
The only thing I would be apprehensive about is the quality of the sticker tiles, but aesthetically they definitely work in the space. You use the caulking gun to apply the compound and then use your fingers to remove the excess caulk. Allow it to dry overnight and you are done. It leaves a neat impression of the installation of the toilet. Prevention of leakage and odor are two other reasons why you must do caulking around the toilet where it meets the floor.
Removing the toilet, laying the tiles, and refixing the toilet is the universal suggestion. This is applicable whether the tiles are vinyl or ceramic. The entire operation will go pretty smooth that way. There are difficulties associated with trying to clear up the existing tiling around the toilet and to fix the new vinyl tiles.
Whether you are trying to do it yourself or engaging a plumber to do it, the toilet must be removed, retiling done and the toilet put back.
If you have decided to replace the toilet, then the removal of the old toilet is a must — at least according to the tilers. In such a situation, often the best solution is to simply put tiles around the toilet. Undoubtedly and unambiguously yes. The above question dealt with ceramic tiles but it applies to any kind of flooring you choose for your bathroom. The only ideal way is to remove the toilet. It is again being highlighted that where the toilet is part of a newly constructed home or any other property, this question will be redundant.
Apply a thin bead of silicon caulk around the top edge of the flange. Place the extension ring on top of the flange and align the mounting holes so that they are above open spaces in the flange while maintaining the correct positioning of the toilet bolt slots.
Attach the extension ring by driving stainless steel wood screws through the mounting holes into the subfloor through open spaces in the flange. Insert new toilet bolts into the slots in the extension ring. Slip on the plastic retaining washers. Place a new wax ring on top of the extension ring.
