depending on your area, $80.00 on up.
Usually that would be 1 or 2 hours.
Depends on whether you already purchased it and whether other parts are needed. If you have the toilet, a Kant leak, a wax seal,FLEXIBLE toilet supply, and the (nuts,bolts and washers) for screwing the toilet to the floor flange, plumber should not charge more than one hour of his rate to install it. Make sure the plumber does NOT silicone around the toilet. If there is a leak from the wax seal under the toilet and it is siliconed, the water stays under the toilet and rots the floor, if you are on a wood floor.
The water trap, which traps sewer gases, is built into the toilet. Without a wax ring you'll have sewer gases entering the house. Waste water leaking onto the floor is the least concern. Regards, Steve D
If the toilet is sitting solid on the floor, you don't need to. I would use latex instead of silicone because if you should ever have to pull the toilet, it would be much easier. One reason not to seal it down would be if the wax ring should ever fail. You could have a lot of damage to the floor before you noticed the leak.
The name for the wax seal for a toilet is a wax toilet ring. Some people also call this item a toilet wax bowl gasket.
The wax ring is just to seal the toilet to the drain. It has no effect on the flushing.
Common signs of a toilet wax seal leak include water pooling around the base of the toilet, a foul odor coming from the bathroom, and visible water damage on the floor. To repair a toilet wax seal leak effectively, the toilet will need to be removed, the old wax seal replaced with a new one, and the toilet reinstalled securely. It is important to ensure that the toilet is properly sealed to prevent future leaks.
To fix a leaking toilet seal, you will need to replace the wax ring that seals the connection between the toilet and the floor. This involves removing the toilet, cleaning the area, and installing a new wax ring before reattaching the toilet.
To prevent leaks and ensure a secure connection when installing a wax seal toilet, make sure the toilet flange is clean and level, place the wax seal correctly on the flange, and firmly press the toilet onto the seal. Tighten the bolts evenly and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
The toilet wax seal should be replaced every 5-10 years to prevent leaks and ensure the toilet functions properly.
To fix a toilet seal, you will need to remove the toilet, replace the wax ring seal, and then re-install the toilet. Make sure to clean the area thoroughly before re-installing the toilet to ensure a proper seal.
Do not use silicone at the base of the toilet after seating the wax ring. You must use grout. The rocking of the toilet will wear the wax ring seal.

The purpose of a wax ring with a flange in a toilet installation is to create a watertight seal between the toilet and the floor drain, preventing leaks and ensuring proper functioning of the toilet.
I would get the extra thick one. You should have to push down on the toilet to make the wax ring seal. If the toilet sits on the floor by itself, stack 2 rings on top of each other.
yes....2 or 3 seals stacked
