It's a fun mental structural engineering exercise to think of something to repair the flange without ripping up too much more flooring. Thinking a 1.5-ft-long metal sleeve between a replacement flange and the existing flange edges, some webbing and some sort of wood to reinforce the webbing like a sister joint. Would require really tight tolerances. Good epoxy on some strong wood would transfer forces to the remaining webbing pretty effectively, and an over-engineered metal joint would be stronger than continuous wood.

My practical solution here would be replacing the joint and getting nice new tiling. Definitely do not try the above solution and if you do, please post the aftermath.

I'm assuming he just spliced on a pig tail to plug it in to test out the lighting and that the mirror lights will be hardwired in an appropriately rated electrical box during the final installation.

This is exactly correct. Thank you for being a sane person and not piling on the thread poo poo train.

You're still a dope for slicing up the structural integrity of your house lol

You're the kind of engineer I don't want to hire. But feel free to prove me wrong and actually be helpful at some point.
