I like that idea in a pinch but that second repair flange looks as if it may cause some issue with drainage at some point with those crews inside the drainage area. I get my plumbing help from clearwatersplumbing com.

I would say 3-400.00, even though it's usually a 2hr job approx. and about 20.00 in parts. Good luck.
