Securing toilet pan

Ceramic toiler bowl sitting on tiles. Mr Bodgit after laying tiles only use= d two screws to secure it floor. (He also didn't bother to raise the cister= n so pan is slightly tipped up at the front)These screws have now rusted/co= rroded and snapped. Short of de-coupling the pan from the cistern and the o= utlet pipe to allow me re drill and plug new holes how else could I secure = it.

Would any type of adhesive do the job? ISTR these things being cemented in = at one time. It would need to have good gap filling properties due to the g= ap at the front.

Expanding foam ?

It will need to have a certain strength as when one sits on the loo it tend= s to tilt and swivel about the contact point at the rear though I suppose I= could insert wooden shims in the gap at the front to stop it tilting.

all suggestions welcome

For a proper job you need to raise the cistern I'm afraid.

I think its bite the bullet time and decouple it and start again.
