Can a cracked toilet base (pan) be repaired
Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.36 PM
I have a poreclein toilet which has a crack in the base quite close to where screws are to fasten it to the floor - can this be repaired?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

generally purchasing a new toilet is ideal as a porcelain crack can be a lot longer than is evident to the eye. this can cause, over time, mould and further fracturing of the toilet.
a certain 'you can do it' store sells toilets for very reasonable prices - and a modest toilet will cost you less than £100

In a quick word, No, you can buy one and get it fitted for about £120-£150, I know it's more of an inconvenience but as F Geo says it could get worse as a hairline crack in a pan will leak and eventually break further and could cause injury if someone was sitting on it at the time.
