The mount bolts on one of toilets have loosed up in the slab of my house. What is the best way to remount this toilet? Should just get bigger bolts to put in? Fill in exsisting holes with a hardening compound? Do they make plate that will allow the toilet to stay in the same place but move your bolts to another location in the slab?
I am kinda at a loss here as to how to get this toilet tight against the floor. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

The toilet bolts may be loose, but not embedded in concrete as their only means of security. They should be held down in a toilet flange keyway, which will provide downward pressure when you install the toilet.
If this is not the case, you may be better off posting a picture of what you have so we can see what you see. You can do this by using photobucket, or others.
