Epoxy won't work. It just going to leak somewhere else. Find the source and fix the pipe.
Just click your link, are you sure the leak cause by the floor? Epoxy is one thing, the waterproofing compound the one doing the job.

QUOTE(coconutzz @ Sep 27 2020, 03:01 PM) yea likely its the waterproofin layer that is old and deteriorated..i dun think its the pipe, because I have a pump, when i off everything the pump aint running..so high chance its the floor. plus i have done some observation of not using a toilet for a few days and there is no leak...so i have pinpointed it to the toilet floor leak If that the case then if you ask professional to do it, they will do water prooffing and test it first before they apply the epoxy.

QUOTE(coconutzz @ Sep 27 2020, 04:37 PM) Yes will get professional to do. It.. Just wondering if its effective. Many other contractors have told me that the best is to remove all tiles, do a new water proofing layer... But this will cost a lot per toilet perhaps 5 to 6k.so just looking at cheaper alternatives which is the epoxy way Because the floor already leak, should remove all the tile for water proof, then only the epoxy can be apply. So the epoxy is just a replacement for the tiles. Effectiveness for the leakage is depend on the water prooffing process itself. If no leakage maybe the epoxy can be apply straight away on the tiles. Epoxy can water proof but they are also prone to crack that can lead to leakage in future. I'm not an expert on this, just my general understanding of epoxy.
