Toilet leaking :-(

Isolation valve with tap which connects to bottom of toilet inlet.
Tried removing, reapplying PTFE but still leaking. Any ideas?
I guess only option it to completely replace valve? Only problem is its the isolation valve also so I'd need to completely shut off water.
And, of course, by cutting off the valve I'd have to make sure the valve reaches toilet valve.
Any suggestions? I guess I could cut off, replace isolation, add flexible pipe.
Or just call a plumber? :-(
