    Default Loose toilet pan on concrete slab

    Hi Guys

    I have a toilet pan in my workshop sitting directly on top of a slab and is loose. It looks as though the "cement bond has been broken.

    How can I "restick" it to the slab?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.


    Regards
    Greg

    A plumber once told me that some silicon (as in the real stuff not the acrylic filler type stuff) is the way to go nowadays. After renovating my bathroom and toilet I laid the tiles then just siliconed the pan to the floor no drilling holes for screws. My outlet went thru the wall ... don't know if that has any impact on the matter. Anyway, no probs and hasn't worked it way loose.

    A good quality 'Construction' adhesive - the stuff in the tube/cartridge - should do the job. I stuck a brick back on the top of the hand wall outside my workshop several years ago & despite continual exposure to the weather it hasn't loosened. It should hold things together even if you let a 'beauty' rip

    Greg,
    What's wrong with sand and cement.
    Weak mix, 4 or 5 to one.
    Not much water. Been used since Crapper's day.
    Regards
    Bill

    Did you just use the Bondcrete straight from the can and just brush it onto slab?

    Regards

    The idea of bedding a pan on a weak mix, is so that you can get it up without breaking it, if necessary. Use Bondcrete as a cement additive by all means. It just means that you break the pan and get a new one next time you change the sealing rubber, etc.

    Don't use Boncrete as a glue. If you just want to glue it down use epoxy.

    Cheers
    Bill.

    I had this problem on the weekend...ceramic tile glue is the go... cement based will blend in nicely

    I would go with the Boncrete - you can mix a little very fine sand and/or cement with it to give it a little more body if required.
    Another option is cement based ceramic tile adhesive - Abalastic is an exellent one

    Hi guys

    I ended up using some left over "builders bog" that I had lying around and it worked great!

    Hope that works for you.
    When my mother in law broke our dunny off with her fat ar3e I used bondcrete and it stood up to several more years of her #@$%. When I sold the house it was still as good as the day I fixed it.
    She lives in QLD now so I'm safe saying this. A win win situation if you ask me.
