Fixing a crack in a toilet base

chriselevate · 6 Jul 2009

Hi,

My brother called me yesterday saying that a flat he owns (currently with tenants in), located in East London has a crack in the toilet and is now leaking.

The reason I post on here is becuase I recall someone saying a while ago that these can be resin filled and repaired bringing them pretty much back to new.

I thought I'd post on here becuase he can't get a replacement toild becuase bathstore (the supplier of it) don't make it anymore - a pain becuase he's only had it 4 years.

Is there a way to repaire these cracks? Are there companies or people who can do it?

Appreciate you help.

You'll not be able to make an effective permanent repair. The pan will need replacing.

Doh! That's annoying.

Any idea where he'll get a Bathstore Libra pan from?

If the pan changes then it'll mean buying the closet thing and some retiling I guess.

Ebay have a couple of sinks but no pan! Doh!

why cant he just buy a different bog?

you can buy bits and bobs so you can use existing pipes.

If it's only a rented property, just stick in a 50 quid special from B&Q

but with a tiled floor and walls the existing toilet being removed and replaced will make a mess surely?

not a major problem, has he got spare tiles?
