I'm in the process of re-doing our guest bath and have already removed all the old tile and thinset. There are two small areas which require a bit of leveling (no more than 1/4-inch deep): The first is behind the toilet and the second about a foot in front of the toilet. When I replaced the throne a few years ago it required a few shims on the back side to get rid of the fore & aft wobble, so I just want to get that area somewhat level.
Each low area is about the size of a football; the rest of the floor is quite good. Since I haven't done this before, I took a look at several YouTube videos. It seems almost every video showed the creator re-leveling their entire floor.
In my case I'm hoping to simply mix a smaller batch of leveler and treat only the affected areas. I've already dammed up the area around the toilet flange and the junction with the wall so the compound doesn't flow where I don't want or need it.
The plan is to mix a small batch in a 2-gallon bucket with spout and pour the mixture onto the low spots, followed by light tooling with a large putty knife and maybe a wide paintbrush, controlling flow as best as I can.
For those who have used this stuff, does this sound feasible? The main goal is only to provide a more level surface for the toilet. I figure any small variations can later be mitigated with the new thinset. Thanks!
