Angle Grinder!

Yes, I know its the standard answer to many questions!



My mate over tut road tiled his bathroom floor. Wise lad, he removed the WC & the pedestal under the basin first.



WC went back in OK, after I'd lent him a drill driver, multi material bit, plugs, screws & some LS-X. I'm like a piggin hire shop in our close.



Pedestal wouldn't fit back under the basin. He asked if he could borrow an angle grinder to trim it. Hmmmm.



Diamond blade, masking tape & he has cut 6mm off the base of the pedestal leaving a near perfect edge. Wouldn't have though it possible myself.



So now you know.



Q; How to I trim a porcelain pedestal? A; Angle grinder!

It's one advantage of having very oldie neighbours - generally they don't want to borrow my hydraulic jack/best chisels/ladders/whatever.

I get the opposite - most of my mates don't seem to have reached the DIY stage of life yet :-)

Been there, done that. But I skimmed the *top* of the pedestal as the cut edge was hidden by the sink. I scored the glaze first with a diamond-tipped security marker.

I'm fascinated to learn what you're going do with the used plugs, screws, and LS-X when he returns them :-) ... or are you expecting them to be returned in a, shall we say, more /liquid/ form?
