Scratched WC Pan

[gemius]

I had a new bathroom fitted out recently and the tiler put left over plaster down the WC pan. It stuck to the bottom of the pan u bend and while I've been able to scrape it off the surface stil feels rough. I'm afraid it will not clean properly now. Is the only solution a new WC pan or can the glazed finish be restored.

If the glaze is gone that's the end of it new pan required but before you do that try a bath rubber, it's a well kept trade secret

Good luck with it.

PS another thing worth trying might be to use some limescale remover on the plaster, maybe get your marilgolds on and bail out the trap to allow something like a descaling spray or gell to sit on there for a while.

What kind of tiller puts left over plaster ( adhesive? ) down the loo?

A pretty slap dash one I would suggest!

The penny has just dropped reading Agile's post it's not plaster but adhesive. Try the bailing out and then soak the adhesive with methylated sprit that should soften it. if not the rubber is still worth trying.
What about the tiler have you grabbed him by the ear and stuck his head down the toilet yet?

Thanks for that everybody. Looks like I might get a new pan, negotiations in progress.

No, a total ********.

When will people learn that nothing should go down a loo, unless it has either been through you, or wiped on you.

Curry you don't fancy eating?

With left over cement, plaster or tile adhesive I wrap it in newspaper and put it in the landfill waste bin!

But then I like to do jobs properly and treat customer's homes as I would my own!

If its adhesive sticking onto the glaze then I would try using 32% HCl and see if that loosens it!

Sure Tony would manage it .

I often think that its the customer's fault for choosing a rough unshaved character who is cheap and looks like Desperate Dan!

Perhaps a suave plumber who can handle babies would be more careful?

If a plumber turned up at mine in a DJ and dickie I'd assume he charged too much and send him on his way.
