Stuck on the toilet

[MortarThePoint]

I think I recall someone saying somewhere that they had glued their toilet to the screed rather than bolting it down. This is of interest to me for two reasons:

• Allows UFH pipes to pass below. In one place I haven't finalised the toilet position
• Safer over any membranes

 

If glued down, is there any way of getting the toilet unstuck without smashing it if you need to remove it later?

Can a glued down toilet weather the storm?

Mate of mine got superglued to a toilet seat. I once saw cling film on a urinal.

But the best is my sister. After a long drive down to the South of France, she was busting. Ran to the loo, flipped the lid, sat down and let it flow.

She forgot it had a secondary lid to reduce the odor when left unused for months. She may as well just have done it in her pants.

Definitely! CT1 or similar flexible sealer/adhesive. stops rocking, creaking and breaking tiles.

I just found this link too: https://www.sunamoon.com/articles/fix-down-toilet-without-screws.htm

 

CT1 looks good.

 

I had a friend you sat on the toilet and it sank through the floor. When he subsequently flushed it went everywhere. All round at a new girlfriend's house. Didn't put her off though as they are now married.

I remember waiting for a bus on our local.  Bus station An old man being carried out of the toilets with a loo seat stuck to his behind and the firemen trying there hardest not to laugh 

I overheard one saying it wouldn’t be so bad if it was just stuck to his Arse

Poor guy, but hopefully he saw the funny side eventually.

I know a midwife who was called into casualty to 'help the fire man' remove a pipe fitting from a young man's member.

When she got there, there was also hematology, trauma, neurology, police, press, Et Al. all giving advice.

Not sure if a blacksmith was called.

So just to be clear  glue only, no screws or bolts?

If using CT1 or similar then no need to screw or bolt ... assuming floor is tiled / solid. Did once see one glued to vinyl flooring.

I used Soudal MS Clear for sticking down the toilet pan in the wetroom at my last place and had no problems for the three years we used it.
